Vermont is full of exciting things to do. The list is endless but here are some of our favorite suggestions.

Restaurants:

The Farmhouse Tap and Grill:

Farm to table restaurant with rotating menu based on season and local availability. Reservations available online or grab a beer at the beer garden in the back while you wait for your table.

Pascolo

Italian food that won’t disappoint.

El Cortijo

Farm to table Mexican food. Killer margaritas. It is located in an

older diner, fills up quickly so be prepared to wait.

Folino’s Pizza

BYOB pizza place. City Market next door is a fresh grocery store

and has a great beer selection. The original location is 20 min outside Burlington and under the same roof as Fiddlehead brewery.

Ali Baba’s Kabab Shop

A small storefront on Main street that has amazing Falafel/Kabab pita wraps.

Henry Street Diner

Diner with an expansive list of classic breakfast food as well as

an extensive lunch menu.

August First

Cute sandwich/bread place for a relaxing breakfast/lunch.

Four Corners of the Earth

This small sandwich restaurant has a unique ambiance. The sandwiches are simple and always taste amazing.

The Bagel Place

Go here if you love bagels. It is just outside of Burlington over

the highway but it was always a go to breakfast on the way to the mountain.

Burlington Bagel Bakery

A great alternative right on church street if the bagel place is too

far of a hike.

Breweries/bars

Note: Most of the big ones are on Pine street which is about a 15

minute walk from downtown.

Burlington:

Citizen Cider

Has great ciders including ones you won’t see on the shelf

outside of the brewery. Their food selection is always good as well.

Switchback

Next to the tallest filing cabinet in the world. Their flagship

switchback ale is a must try.

Burlington Beer Co.

Recently moved to a new location. They know how to make an IPA and the cans always have interesting art on the label

Zero Gravity

Another Burlington classic. A range of beers can be tried at the

brewery and their patio is enjoyable on a sunny day.

Foam

Right next to the water, foam beers have a unique fruity flavor

to them. There is a good chance you can catch some live music at the brewery

Queen City

Another solid choice on the pine street strip. Has a classic

brewery vibe.

Magic Hat

They have cool tours of their facility that end in a free sample

at the end.

Fiddlehead

It's technically in Shelburne but is a close enough drive to make the Burlington list. One of our favorite’s and pairs nicely with Folino’s pizza.

Stowe/Warren

Alchemist

They make the award winning Heady Topper beer and Focal Banger is a favorite of ours. If you are an IPA lover this is the place for you.

Lawson’s Finest Liquids

The makers of Sip of Sunshine. Their brewery is in a luxurious log cabin. This is a great place to try some of their beers you can’t get anywhere else.

Von Trapp

An award winning and very scenic brewery.

Things to do:

Go down to the water front.

-You can walk down the bike path or rent a bike for a ride. If its

hot out grab a creemee to cool off.

Walk on church street and shop.

There are plenty of bars, restaurants and storefronts of all types.

Outdoor gear exchange, earthbound, and tradewinds are some stores to check out.

Go see UVM campus

An academic powerhouse and where many people go to find their soulmate.

Echo Aquarium

Aquarium center by the waterfront. Great option if you are bringing small kiddos!

Hiking

Mount Philo

A very close and relatively short (45min up / 45min down) hike with a view over the lake

Camels Hump

A ~4hr hike with views of the surrounding area and lake.

Mount Mansfield

Many different trails on the mountain Stowe resort calls home. Not for an inexperienced hiker.

Beaches:

North Beach

Sandy beach that is great for relaxing and grilling.

Oak ledge

Rocky beach that is great for relaxing or <10ft cliff jumping

Intervale Center

Our venue has a number of walking trails to explore as well as kayaks to take out on the Winooski river.

Bringing your fur baby? Great news! Most of Burlington is dog friendly. Dogs are welcome on most patios, in many stores on church street, and on hiking trails. There is also a fenced dog park on the bike path.
