THINGS TO DO
The below events and activities are a small list of what Vermont has to offer. The information below is taken from VermontVacation.com it is a great site to help guide visitors to explore new adventures.
Wineries Tour
"Vermont is home to a small but growing wine industry. Up and coming grape varieties such as Marquette, Frontenac, and La Crescent thrive in Vermont and make delicious and award-winning wines. Our region is also rich with beekeepers and apple & fruit growers, and our meads, ciders, and fruit wines reflect the wonderful flavors of our state."
Ski & Ride
"Today, Vermont is a true winter destination. This is a serious skiing state, boasting 20 alpine ski resorts, 30 cross-country touring centers and 7,300 acres of alpine terrain. There are 1,269 trails, 176 lifts, and 1,900 km of Nordic trails"
Farmers Markets
"The roadside farm stand with its selection of that day's harvest has long been a part of the Vermont scene, but the farmers market takes it to a whole new level. Think of them as a large gourmet food store where "buy local" is the motto. A place where a consumer can buy directly from the farmer."
