Things To Do
Stowe Pinnacle Trailhead

The Alchemist Brewery
This was a staple in our wedding planning journey- The Alchemist is a family-owned brewery known for its highly sought-after craft beers, particularly the Heady Topper Double IPA. They also have a production-only brewery in Waterbury, Vermont.
Von Trapp Brewing & Bierhall
This was the stop that we cherish most from our first trip to Vermont years ago- it is so special to us and we'd love to share that with you. Von Trapp Brewing is an Austrian-style brewery and beer hall known for its signature lagers and classic Austrian dishes. The brewery was founded in 2010 by Johannes von Trapp, the youngest son of Maria and Captain von Trapp of "The Sound of Music" fame.
Idletyme
This was our first stop after deciding on our wedding venue! Located in a historic building, Idletime has been a gathering place for centuries. It offers a cool atmosphere, a comfortable interior and outdoor patio seating. They brew a variety of beers on-site, combining European brewing traditions with Vermont's hop culture.
Stowe Cider
With all of the great breweries in town, it's awesome to have the option for something a little different...cue Stowe Cider. Offering a "Core Lineup" of ciders, as well as some barrel-aged options and seasonal ciders, Stowe Cider is only a short drive from our hotel.
Ben & Jerry’s
Ben and Jerrys originated in Vermont! Tour their factory and grab a pint or seven. It goes without saying but this is totally worth it.
Copley Country Club
Located in the nearby historic village of Morrisville, Copley Country Club is a 9-hole public golf course situated on 38 rolling acres of the bright green stuff. Grab lunch or a quick afternoon snack at the on-site Copley Bar & Grill, which overlooks what has been called one of the most beautiful panoramic public courses in the state.
Stowe Country Club
Stowe Country club is a beautiful 18-hole course nestled into the Stowe landscape. The rugged design of The Mountain Course at Spruce Peak reaches an elevation of more than 1,800 feet and features rock outcroppings, wildlife at every glance, and sweeping views of both Spruce Peak and Mt. Mansfield.
