Things To Do
Folino's Wood Fired Pizza Shelburne
There is also a Folino's in Burlington, which is equally delicious, but this one is connected to Fiddlehead brewing, another local favorite!
The Farmhouse Tap & Grill
One of the best burgers in town!
Cortijo Taqueria
Great tacos and margs!
Spot on the Dock
Nell worked here the summer before moving to Boston. David was a frequent flier. Great for a bite on a nice summer afternoon or evening! Welcome cocktails will be held here as well.
Pizzeria Verità
Burlington Bay
If you have never had a Creemee, this is an absolute must. It's what VT calls soft serve ice cream and we do it best. Most say you have to get maple, but David & Nell stick to a chocolate-vanilla twist.
The Inn at Shelburne Farms
A gorgeous spot to enjoy brunch, a cocktail, or just to walk around and admire the lake and gardens. Can walk through the farms or drive straight out. Best to get a reservation (even for cocktails) if you plan to drive, as they tend to be strict about letting cars in.
Shelburne Farms
Beautiful Vanderbilt farms. A great walk with options to climb up for a great view, watch animals feed, hit the bakery, or continue on towards the inn for gorgeous views of the lake. They regularly run tractor rides to and from the barn as well.
Mount Philo
A perfect hike for any level. A quick hike for a beautiful view. Easiest hike of the three on this list. Nearby at the bottom you'll find Folino's & Fiddlehead brewing - a perfect post-hike stop.
Waterfront
There's a great bikepath along the waterfront. Perfect for walking, biking, running, etc. Also perfect for a first date that will lead to a proposal years later! Link for bike rentals: https://www.localmotion.org/bikes_mean_business
Oakledge Park
Good swimming and lakefront access!
PaddleSurf Champlain
Sterling Pond Trail
One of our favorite shorter hikes. Steep, but not long and a pond awaits you should you choose to take a dip.
Stowe Pinnacle Trailhead
Another great hike!
Bolton Potholes
Great swimming hole. About a 25 minute drive from Burlington. Please use caution when swimming or jumping here and be aware if it has rained a lot recently.
Red Rocks Park
Walking paths with a lookout over Lake Champlain.
Kwiniaska Golf Course
Cedar Knoll Country Club
Rocky Ridge Golf Club
Zero Gravity Brewery
Foam Brewers - Burlington
Citizen Cider
