Vermont Spirits Distilling Co, Quechee, Vermont, United States Our first stop of the day will be at Vermont Spirits Distillery (Vermont’s oldest craft distillery). This distillery offers a portfolio of award-winning artisanal spirits using local agriculture sourced from their partnerships with farmers around Vermont. Their small-batch Vermont Gold Vodka is made from 100% pure Vermont maple sap – an industry first – yielding perhaps the smoothest, purest vodka possible. Other spirits are: No 14 Bourbon finished with Pure Vermont Maple, Coppers American Gin, Coppers Sugarwood Gin and Coppers Barrel Gin – all crafting using organic botanicals and hand-pick wild Vermont juniper berries. 30 minutes
Quechee General Store - Cabot Station, Woodstock, Vermont, United States You can’t come to Vermont without stopping at one of our country stores! Quechee General Store features the complete collection of Cabot cheeses, plus cheeses from other favorite Vermont artisans. It offers the area’s largest mix of maple syrups and delicious “farm stand” products from the area’s most beloved producers. Quechee General Store is proud to be the first independently owned Cabot affiliate store. We love their huge selection of amazing cheeses and other Vermont-made products! 30 minutes
Harpoon Brewery, Windsor, Vermont, United States Our next stop will be at the Harpoon Brewery where lunch is available for purchase on the premises. Harpoon was founded in 1986 and is an employee-owned brewery. Harpoon is best known for its Harpoon India Pale Ale. It brews multiple other year-round beers including the award-winning Dark, UFO Hefeweizen, UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen, and UFO White, UFO Light Force, UFO Maine Blueberry, and selected Clown Shoes beers. Harpoon also offers seasonal beers, including an Octoberfest Marzen style Ale and Harpoon Camp Wannamango. They also offer the ‘100 Barrel Series’, which consists of a number of one-of-a-kind batches.

SILO Distillery, Windsor, Vermont, United States Silo distillery is Vermont craft distillery, distilling small-batch spirits from Vermont-grown grain and local ingredients. Their process begins with grain selection from Grembowicz Farm in North Clarendon, Vermont. Everything at Silo is done, start to finish, in their barn distillery. Sustainability is also part of their process; recycling the water used throughout distillation, and sending spent grains to farmers to use for feed. We love their amazing barn with a real silo tower. The ambience is truly unique and makes for a great tasting experience. 30 minutes
Foley Brothers Brewing, Brandon, Vermont, United States * Foley Brothers Brewing in Quechee is part of the family-run Neshobe River Brewing Company. This microbrewery selects the finest ingredients and operates with diligent brewing techniques and excruciating attention to detail. They brew in small batches in their 15 barrel brewery and are always experimenting with new recipes. Foley Brothers has an “at-home” atmosphere that epitomizes the Vermont craft brewery scene. We love their IPA and fantastic selection of beer!
*Foley Brothers is closed on Tuesdays. In its place, we will visit River Roost Brewery in White River Junction, VT
Beer samples are available for purchase. 30 minutes
Long Trail Brewing Company, Bridgewater Corners, Vermont, United States Our last stop of the day will be at Long Trail Brewing Company. Inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses through the Green Mountains, Long Trail Brewing Company has been a caretaker of Vermont craft beer since 1989. Moved and motivated by the local culture and surroundings, they work hard to create beers worthy of our Vermont roots. From small-batch recipes to their flagship Long Trail Ale and freshly formulated Trail Hopper IPA, Long Trail is committed to crafting a trail-worthy family of beers. Long trail is located right near a river, with a cozy bar seating area and super friendly staff. This day tour concludes by returning all customers to their original pick-up locations.

Our guide was quite knowledgeable and helpfully engaged. Fully enjoyed our experience and the lengthy conversations we had both on spirits and the history of the communities we visited. A must do if when visiting the area!

Simply a wonderful way to see & taste so much of what Vermont has to offer: Natalia is an amazing ambassador. Her knowledge of Vermont & the details of the communities to which she brought us were the enrichment that we simply would not have had, even going to those same places on our own. It made it so special. It made the short drives between stops feel like more than just transit time. Natalia was responsive & adaptable, swapping in a couple stops based on what she heard from us both before the trip & on our day together. That made it so personal! Her time management skills seemed so effortless. We never felt rushed. Thank you, Natalia!
