Any time of the year is a good time to visit Mystic Country, Connecticut, but there's no doubt that — for many people — autumn is really special. The air is crisp, the leaves turn a hundred shades of red and gold, and and the hustle and bustle of summer gives way to the slower pace of fall.Many people come back year after year to celebrate the changing colors of the season, and while that's certainly a good enough reason to visit, we've got a few other ideas for you as well.If you're driving, why not take a self-guided tour of the hill towns and mill towns of Mystic Country, giving you a double dose of the area's history as well as its beauty.For the slightly more adventurous, one of the most popular activities in the region is the series of annual "walking weekend" tours that will give you a somewhat more close up view of the area.And along the way, celebrate the harvest season with a visit to one of Mystic Country's many fine vineyards and wineries, or make a day of it by attending a fall festival where you'll learn more about our area's agricultural heritage.So sit back for the next few minutes and let us bring you a little of the fall flavor of Mystic Country!For more information on this show's featured destinations visit:The Last Green ValleyStonington VineyardsConnecticut Wine TrailDaniel Packer InneJonathan Edwards WineryMystic SeaportBuell’s OrchardCoventry Farmer's MarketHarvest Tyme at Blue Slope Country MuseumFall Food Stroll Along New London’s Historic WaterfrontNEW!
