WHAT: Chef Paul Turano of Tryst Restaurant located north of Boston in Arlington, MA has partnered with Quad Cycles, Ferns Country Store and Wilson Farm for his 4th annual culinary bike tour. On Sunday, October 5th, 2014, those with a passion for food and adventure will experience the flavors of fall on Tryst’s Fourth Annual Culinary Bike Tour!
This one-day excursion will highlight the best of local flavors as riders embark on a 22-mile bike ride, making stops at local food & wine purveyors including Ferns Country Store in Carlisle, MA, Wilson Farm in Lexington, MA and finally Tryst in Arlington, MA.
“I wanted to do something that was out-of-the-box and really highlighted the fall season. Each year we get more and more riders, and it’s really taken on a life of its own,” said Chef Paul Turano. “Dining should be an experience- and this is the ultimate New England experience.”
The tour starts at 11:00 AM when the group meets at Quad Cycles, the area’s premier bicycle shop located on Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, MA. From there Quad Cycles Ambassador Jen Zeuli will lead the group to their first stop, Ferns Country Store in Carlisle, MA, for a wine tasting and small bites. Riders will then head to Wilson Farm in Lexington, MA, where they will tour the farm and stop at the farm stand before heading back to Arlington where they end their journey with a two-course dinner at Tryst Restaurant.
This all-inclusive, 22-mile culinary bike tour is $40 per person and includes a wine tasting and small bites at Ferns Country Store and dinner at Tryst (please note: alcohol and gratuity are not included at dinner).
