I was born near Orlando long before the arrival of Walt Disney World. It was a land of citrus groves, fishing lakes, cattle ranches, and small towns. A place where northern tourists could escape the cold and enjoy a warm welcome. You'll find this land still exists in three of the area's most charming small towns: Winter Garden, Winter Park, and Mount Dora. In Winter Park we'll visit Park Avenue, an upscale retail district filled with independent merchants. You may choose to set sail on a Chain of Lakes tour that's been operating since 1938. In Winter Garden, a popular recreational trail has brought new life to a shopping district of boutiques, galleries, and sidewalk cafes. Then we'll head to Mount Dora, considered one of Florida's loveliest small towns with quiet streets, an active shopping districts, and beautiful sunsets on 4, 500-acre Lake Dora. Amazingly, today they look largely as they have since my childhood, and when we visit them together you'll see Florida, naturally.
From your hotel, we'll drive to the heart of upscale Winter Park where you'll be enchanted by brick-paved streets, sidewalk cafés, a charming 9-hole golf course, independent boutiques, and a beautiful park shaded by ancient oaks. We'll explore Park Avenue, visit historic Rollins College and, perhaps, take an hour-long tour of Winter Park's chain of lakes and see magnificent mansions lining the shores. We can also visit Mount Dora, known as 'The New England of Florida'. Built upon rolling hills and on the edge of a 4, 500-acre lake, the picturesque small town is an active, thriving community known for its festivals, antiques, outdoor recreation, and wildlife. If time allows, we'll return through Winter Garden. Once a town of citrus groves and fishing camps, today it is a city renewed with a railroad track-turned-recreational trail which brings in pedestrians, skaters, and bicyclists. Check out antiques, buy homemade candy, and visit the small, but fascinating, history museum.
