We've spent quite a bit of time in Woodstock over the years, including six months in 2020. We have a few of our favorite spots listed here if you want some direction as you explore the area.
Downtown Woodstock
19 Central Street, Woodstock, VT 05091
Downtown Woodstock is worth a stop - Gillingham's General Store, Vermont Flannel Co., the Yankee Bookshop and plenty of art galleries and other shops to pop in and out of. Mon Vert has great coffee and sandwiches if you're hungry.
One of our favorite stops for a meal or drinks on our way into town! They have plenty of outdoor seating, a lively atmosphere, and a great beer list. We recommend the chicken sandwich.
