Quaint historical village with shopping, dining, and a covered bridge.

A great little lake for swimming or kayaking. Tiny island in the middle.

From the parking lot with your back to the road, take the trail that leads off to the right and keep going further than you need to in order to simply access the river. You will eventually come to a series of cliffs in the river that form gorgeous waterfalls and swimming holes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose to swim here, avoid the bottoms of the waterfalls and be aware of the strength of the current near the edges of drop-offs. Do NOT slide down the waterfalls because you can become trapped underneath them.

There is no shortage of hiking and biking trails in the Mad River Valley! The hikes in this area are generally more intense than ones in Waterbury or the Champlain Valley. Please check out the AllTrails website or app for detailed information about individual trails.

Axe throwing. You need closed toed shoes, but should probably don a Vermont tuxedo as well if you really want to fit in (jeans and a flannel).

Phenomenal breakfast options featuring their signature chive butter popovers and seasonal cocktails. Waitlist online before you get there because it's very small and doesn't take reservations. The tofu scramble is the bride's favorite!

Great food, great beer, great space with outdoor seating and shuffleboard table. NA beer selection. The cauliflower buffalo wings are out of this world.

Another great option for food and beer in Burlington with outdoor seating. Next door to Burlington Beer Co.

Huge space and full menu - great option if Zero Gravity is full. Next door to Switchback.

Wood-fired pizzas topped with fresh, house made mozzarella called Fior di Latte, and craft cocktails. Attached shop that sells Fior di Latte by the pound and imported foods.

Crepes with yummy, locally sourced fillings. Join their virtual waitlist before you arrive.

Brewery with nice outdoor seating and live music on weekends. No full menu.

A fancy schmancy restaurant and cocktail bar near Church Street.

Cute brewery on the South Hero Island in Lake Champlain. Beautiful drive along the lake. Try the pretzel bites, but only if they have the beer cheese to go with them.

Eclectic cocktail lounge. Small space, live performances, house made sodas. Not usually overly busy unless there's a popular performer.

The best maple creemee can be found at Palmer Lane Maple in Jericho, one of the bride and groom's favorite summertime spots. Try it with their maple sugar crumbles!

Arcade bar. Lots of pinball.

If you're up in Morrisville to check out the Rail Trail, don't miss our all-time favorite brewery! Small and quaint, this relatively young and veteran-owned brewery is home to the best beer cheese in Vermont and a wide selection of unique, award-winning beers. Don’t miss their waffles, either, which are cooked with delicious toppings right inside for a truly unique treat! Jesse's favorite beer is "Cheesus Christ," Gabe's is "Hops on a Motorcycle," and the runner up for both of them is "Two Night Stands." Be sure to say hello to Jonathan, the bartender and owner, from the bride and groom!

With locations in Burlington, Stowe, and Morrisville, this great little breakfast spot has phenomenal drinks and baked goods. The bride's go-to is a chai latte and house made spinach-feta croissant.

For some reason, Morrisville is home to a bunch of great little craft breweries. This is one of them, and features a dog named Ridge who hangs out around the bar. They also sell a variety of works from local artists. The bride's favorite beer here is the chocolate raspberry stout.

A great little breakfast spot in Hyde Park.
