Hungry Cyclists Alert: New England is a Foodie Paradise!

New England is not only the closest you’ll get in the USA to the European vibe and cycling nirvana but it is also a treasure trove of flavors, ingredients, and culinary techniques adopted from all over the world. Delicious and healthy eating is an essential ingredient of every Ciclismo tour and our bicycle tours in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts guarantee to satisfy your inner tube!  

In addition to enjoying stunning landscapes, fascinating history and culture we’ll meet farmers, stop at bakeries and old-fashioned general stores offering homemade soups, breads, and deserts! The beverage scene is booming too – we’ll sip hot espresso, creative cocktails, taste microbrews, ciders and native wines. Varieties of honey, world-class chocolate, and of course plenty of locally produced ice cream will fuel you for many miraculous miles!

Our festive and al fresco lunches and dinners will be a blend of contemporary and New England classics like tasty burgers, clam chowder, lobster, crab cakes, steamers and blueberry pie.

New England’s vast variety of landscapes and multicultural origins make the local cuisine diverse, enticing, ever-evolving, and perfect to fuel the heart, soul, and appetite of any hungry cyclist!
