Things To Do
Ben & Jerry's Factory
The original Ben & Jerry's factory is worth a stop for all ice cream lovers. They do factory tours (that end with free samples) for a few dollars per person. Be sure to visit the flavor graveyard on your way out. Tours are currently reservation only.
Cold Hollow Cider Mill
Known for their freshly made Vermont apple cider and warm cider donuts! They have an expansive store full of local products and be sure to visit the Apple Core for some hard cider tasting!
Waterbury Reservoir
You can rent kayaks, canoes and paddleboards to explore the Res if you're looking for adventure.
Lawson’s Finest Liquids
Vermont is known for craft brewing and has the most breweries per capita of any state! Lawson's Finest is famous for Sip-of-Sunshine and it's gorgeous wood framed taphouse (with live music!). Definitely worth a visit for beer lovers.
The Alchemist Brewery
Home of the Vermont exclusive Heady Topper. A highly recommended stop for beer lovers.
