Having fun on our St. Paul Winter Carnival Tour
________________________________________________________________________________
Featured Tour
Does the beauty of the autumn colors always call to
you? How about three scenic byways filled with autumn hues? Are
you interested in art and craft fairs? Wood Carvers’ Shows, antiques,
historical settings, peaceful fall lakes and rivers, apple orchards, gambling,
bird watching, or getting away from your daily routine? This trip is for YOU!
We’ll stop at the Amish Ovens, an all time
favorite, near St. Charles for an on own morning coffee break. From Winona
we’ll be driving along the Great River Road Scenic Byway, enjoying the
beautiful hues of orange, gold, rust, and red of the bluff country on our way to
the historic and picturesque river town of Red Wing. You’ll be able to
have lunch on your own at one of Red Wing’s casual or elegant cafés and
restaurants, including the St. James Hotel with its Victorian Décor, or you may
choose a lighter lunch at one of the food vendors at the 37th
Annual Fall Festival of the Arts in downtown Red Wing. The afternoon is
yours to enjoy – browsing through the Festival featuring juried fine arts,
live music, and great food among the hundreds of baskets overflowing with
flowers hanging from the lamp posts or wandering over to the river to watch the
barges or excursion boats. Your interests may take you to the Riverfront Center
for the 11th Annual Woodcarvers’ Show featuring the works of
many talented artists from the upper Midwest. Since this is the second day of
the two-day event, you may find some real bargains toward closing time!
Traveling on the Historic Bluff Country Scenic Byway of Southeastern Minnesota. Here again, Mother Nature paints the autumn landscape with a beautiful array of colors. We’ll have free time to explore Lanesboro, nestled in a deep valley of the Root River. It’s a wonderful historic little town full of interesting shops and cafés and even has its own local winery that you may choose to visit. Be sure to grab a bite to eat before we continue on the scenic byway and head homeward, mind and body relaxed.
