Our first destination is Shelburne Vineyard. Their tasting room features Vermont-grown and Vermont-made wines and ciders, ranging from dry to semi-sweet to sweet. For over two decades, Shelburne Vineyard has been a pioneer and advocate of the Vermont wine region. Their goal is to elevate Vermont as a distinctive wine and cider region. We love their barn-style building and the patio seating with a view of the vineyard. Enhance your visit with local cheeses, charcuterie, jams, cured meats, and locally made crackers.

Charlotte Village Winery

Next, we visit Charlotte Village Winery, established in 2001 by fourth-generation Vermonters. They began with blueberry wines from their 10-acre field and now produce various wines from both fruits and grapes. Sampling their wines while overlooking the blueberry fields and enjoying the Adirondack Mountains from their tasting deck is a delight. The warm, family-oriented atmosphere provides a unique experience.

Explore all grades of pure Vermont maple syrup and watch a short educational video about its production.
