6 Days Berkshires Biking Adventure Tour Package
The Berkshires are where art and nature collide – a veritable playground of hallowed cultural institutions, historic homes, picture-postcard hamlets and mile after mile of first-class biking. Here, we’ll ride beautiful trails, visit some of the country’s top art museums, stay in lavishly appointed hotels, sip wine in an award-winning vineyard and explore friendly college towns that practically scream “quaint” (in a lazy New England drawl, of course). This part of western Massachusetts has always been big with America’s artsy set. Norman Rockwell, Edith Wharton, Robert Frost and scores of other writers, painters, actors and musicians have been flocking here for generations. Between the laidback attitude, acres of unspoiled wilderness and truly superb maple syrup, it’s easy to see why. Experience the Berkshires with us: it’s not just for fall foliage. Trip Highlights:
• Spend a night at the Winvian, easily the world’s most unique luxury hotel – and exclusive to B&R • Bike the historic Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, a former railway line turned cycling haven • Savour a private tour of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, the largest modern-art gallery space in the United States • Meet our friend Carol Owens, a charismatic local historian • Sample top-notch wines at an award-winning vineyard in the scenic Litchfield Hills • Shop, dine and go antiquing in the charming town of Litchfield Tour Accommodations
The Porches Inn at MASS MoCA, North Adams MA This cleverly renovated string of Victorian row houses makes for an unusual and stylish hotel experience. The rooms feature luxurious linens and modern amenities alongside such quirky design features as paint-by-number art, ’50s-era lamps and salvaged building materials. Facilities include a gym, a small heated pool, a sauna and a Jacuzzi. Wheatleigh, Lenox MA  Modeled in the style of a 16thC Italian villa, Wheatleigh is about as elegant as it comes. Gorgeous grounds, stunning views and superb service. The hotel is located just two miles outside of Lenox and more or less around the corner from Tanglewood. The dining room has earned a surfeit of accolades for its outstanding menu and stellar service.The Winvian, Morris CT Relais & Châteaux Set amidst 113 acres in the Litchfield Hills, the Winvian is one of a kind. Fifteen different architects designed each of the 18 unique and whimsical cottage “rooms,” each conceived around a specific Connecticut theme. The state’s artistic legacy is honoured in “The Artist,” a painstaking recreation of a 1920s artist’s bungalow, while the majesty of the great outdoors is captured in the “Camping” and “Treehouse” cottages. “The Helicopter” is truth-in-advertising incarnate: a room built around a fully-restored Sikorsky Sea King Pelican helicopter. This is a place that simply has to be seen to be believed... and even that might not be proof enough. Save time, money and stress!
