The Flavors of Wisconsin Tour is a seven day tour beginning in bike friendly Madison. We’ll kick off the tour with a beer and cheese pairing demonstration at Madison’s Great Dane Brew Pub and spend half of the first cycling day exploring Madison’s fabulous asphalt trail system. We’ll then head out through the scenic hills and valleys of south central Wisconsin, visiting cheese factories and microbreweries before settling down for the night in small hotels and historic inns. We’ll enjoy delicious meals prepared by popular local restaurants with entertainment at some. We’ll learn how beer and cheese are made, and drop into Illinois to visit historic Galena. The route is somewhat challenging with frequent hills. We’ve kept the distances reasonable, though, to accommodate the hilly terrain and to give you time to enjoy the off-bike activities. Keep in mind that when you tour with us, the SAG vehicle is never far away and always happy to pick you up for a needed rest at any point on the route. Our tour begins and ends at the Quality Inn located in southwest Madison. Our next night will be in New Glarus at the Swiss themed Chalet Landhaus where we’ll be treated to a yodeling lesson while we sample fondu before dinner. Our next night finds us in Monroe where we can tour a brewery and sample the product or visit the National Cheese Making Museum to learn all about the history of cheesemaking in Wisconsin. Other overnights include Galena, Mineral Point, and Barneveld. Price includes six nights hotel and inn lodging, five restaurant dinners, all breakfasts, usually restaurant buffet or order-off-the menu, luggage handling, off-bike activity fees, SAG, maps, cue sheets, marked route, rest stops, and all the pampering that only a small group tour can provide!
