InformationABOUT THE BYWAY

The Delaware Crossing Scenic Byway loops for

nearly 36 miles of paved and gravel roads across

Delaware County. Since the route is an irregular

loop shape, the beginning and ending points

are determined by the individuals’ choice. The

byway traverses through the communities of

Hopkinton, Delhi, Delaware and Manchester as

well as the unincorporated towns of Lake Delhi

and Buck Creek.

No matter the season there is always something

to experience along the byway. Explore the

area’s numerous recreational opportunities,

museums, historical sites, antique shops and

restaurants. Go on a tour of the magni� cent

barn quilts in Delaware County and explore

Amish country.

During your journey, encounter the hometown

charm and welcoming atmosphere of the small

towns and villages along the byway. Whether

you are stopping for a cup of co� ee, or staying

awhile at one of the several bed and breakfast

inns, cabins, modern hotels, or camping along

the byway, you are sure to experience Iowa

hospitality at its best.

The Delaware Crossing Scenic Byway Culinary Passport was developed and

promoted by the DCSB Board of Directors and made possible in part by

grants and support from: Northeast Iowa RC&D, Iowa DOT, Iowa Tourism,

Foundation for the Future of Delaware County, F&M Bank-Manchester and

the Delaware County Tourism Association.

Welcome to the Delaware Crossing Scenic Byway Culinary Passport Tour! This

is your personal guide to experiencing unique dishes and beverages that

the locals consider “must haves” along the byway. Included in this booklet is

information about 16 food & drink establishments ranging from restaurants,

cafes and diners to wineries, creameries, bakeries and meat markets. The DCSB

Culinary Passport will inform you about what food or drink item each byway

culinary business is “best known for” and provide some other options.

Start your byway culinary tour by picking up a passport at any of the 11

participating businesses, by visiting the Economic Development & Tourism o� ces

in Manchester, or call the RC&D and ask for Mallory Marlatt at 563-864-7112. You

can also download the passport at www.northeastiowarcd.org. Collect stamps with

any purchase from the participating byway culinary businesses listed in this booklet

(please refer to each establishment’s hours of operation). Collect stamps from at

least eight of the culinary businesses to receive a DCSB window cling along with a

chance to win prizes from participating businesses. Note: If requested, completed

Culinary Passports will be returned via mail along with your gift. Passports must be

completed by September 5, 2016 to be eligible for prizes.
