Because Who Doesn’t Want to Live in Stars Hollow for a Few Days?
At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we believe travel should be immersive, magical, and maybe just a little bit like stepping onto the set of your favorite show. And honestly, is there anything more fall-perfect than a “Gilmore Girls”-inspired getaway?
New England’s charming towns, crisp leaves, and cozy coffee shops are practically a character themselves in this beloved series. Here’s how to craft a handcrafted autumn escape worthy of Lorelai, Rory, and way too much caffeine.
Where to Channel Your Inner Gilmore Girl
1. Washington Depot, Connecticut
- Why We Love It: The real-life inspiration for Stars Hollow. Cute bookstores, coffee shops, and a perfectly walkable downtown.
- Edge of Wonder Touch: We arrange private walking tours, stays at charming historic inns (sadly, not The Dragonfly, but the Mayflower Inn won’t disappoint!), and farm-to-table dining experiences that feel straight out of a Friday night dinner.
Pro Tip: Grab a latte and wander the town green for maximum Stars Hollow vibes.
2. Kent, Connecticut
- Why We Love It: Bookstores galore, art galleries, and foliage that could make Luke actually smile.
- Edge of Wonder Touch: We can set up cozy art workshops or guided foliage hikes nearby.
Insider Tip: Visit in mid-October for peak leaf peeping and apple cider donut season.
3. Litchfield, Connecticut
- Why We Love It: Quintessential white churches, antique shops, and historic homes.
- Edge of Wonder Touch: Private historical tours and curated antiquing adventures (Emily Gilmore would approve).
4. New Milford, Connecticut
- Why We Love It: The gazebo in New Milford’s town green — aka the ultimate Stars Hollow selfie spot.
- Edge of Wonder Touch: We’ll create a custom Gilmore photo safari so you can capture all the iconic moments (no singing troubadours required…unless you want one!).
Curated Gilmore Girls Autumn Itinerary
- Day 1-2: Stay in Washington Depot. Coffee tour, bookstore hopping, and cozy inn nights.
