    I visited Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks in February 2026, and it was an absolutely wonderful Vermont…read moreexperience. I actually drove an hour out of my way just to get this maple creemee -- I had visited a few years ago and had been dreaming about it ever since. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. The maple creemee was incredible -- unbelievably delicious, rich, and perfectly creamy with an authentic maple flavor that completely lives up to the hype. Easily one of the best maple treats you'll find anywhere. The maple syrup tasting was both informative and fun. The staff did a fantastic job explaining the different syrup grades and flavor profiles, and it was fascinating to taste how much they vary. Everything felt fresh, high-quality, and clearly made with care. The grounds themselves are beautiful, especially in winter. With a deep blanket of snow covering the landscape, the farm felt peaceful, scenic, and exactly what you hope for when visiting Vermont in February. If you're anywhere near Montpelier or Barre, Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks is absolutely worth the stop -- for the experience, the views, and one unforgettable maple creemee.

    This maple shop is huge and has so many tasty looking items! While they of course have a huge…read moreselection of sizes and flavors of maple syrups, they also have maple flavored treats and other local treats as well! I did not get any of the maple ice cream on this trip and I regret it because it sounded so good! The service was good and the inside has a very cute vibe. I purchased some maple syrup and maple candy, and while I haven't tried any yet I have a feeling it will be delicious (will update when I try it!)

    A palette-pleasing panoply of plated perfection, Michael's On The Hill puts "epic" in epicurean…read more The Farm to Table restaurant offers fresh local delights, served with carefully concocted condiments that complement--but never overwhelm--the thoughtfully selected appetizers and entrees. The delectable dishes more than make up for the limited number of offerings; there's something for everyone at Michael's On The HIll. My partner and I visited Michael's On The Hill on a Saturday evening in mid-March; we reserved a table for two after we finished skiing at nearby Stowe. If you want a table during the high season, reserve it early--space is limited. Andrew greeted us at the door and after escorting us to our table, handed us off to Heather, our server. Heather is a Professional Server and it shows: Throughout our two+ hour meal, she was available but never intrusive and conversational but never too familiar: She's worked at Michael's for more than two decades and knows the menu perhaps better than the Chef--her recommendations were excellent: Rather than pushing the highest-price menu items, she suggested dishes based on her knowledge, experience, and guest preferences. We started with the local Artisinal cheese plate--three generous cheese selections accompanied by apricot chutney, sweet red grapes, pickled vegetables, candied walnuts, and toast points. The balance of sweet and sour was superlative; the appetizer presented tastefully on a cured wood bark platter--two or three people can pick their favorites and mix and match flavors. The tasteful teaser was a trailer for the main attraction. For entrees, I had the Maple Glazed Duck Breast with Cider Duck Glace accompanied by sweet potato hash, Orange and Arugula salad, and roasted baby carrots; my partner had the special: Beef Bourguignon on top of a cheese polenta with sauteed spinach and a delightful Mirepoix ("meer-PWAH"). Beef Bourguignon is a classic French stew of tender beef braised in red wine--hearty, flavorful, and filling, this French dish is perfect after a long day of skiing. Executive Chef Hess' flourishes transformed the traditional dish into a magically delicious medley of complementary flavors. The duck was cooked to perfection: Soft, warm, and tender on the inside with a hint of smokiness--balanced nicely by the maple glaze and the cider glace. The sweet potato hash was actually small, sweet potato "cubes" mostly hidden below the citrusy salad. When I finally forked the sweet potato cubes, they'd soaked up the cider duck glace, detonating a cluster bomb of flavors in my mouth. We paired the smokey duck and stewy Beef with a succulent bottle of Andrew Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, whose rich cherry-cassis notes and silky tannins enhanced the sauces and spices of our entrees. Micheal's wine list reads like a Great Novel--long, engaging, occasionally intimidating. Here's where Heather re-enters our Micheal's meal story: In addition to letting us taste an alternative or two from already-open bottles, her familiarity with the menu made our decision much easier. Finally, because I just can't say no to Tiramisu, we were presented with a generous slice of sponge cake soaked in espresso (beans cured down the street), layered with whipped Moscarpone cheese, topped with cocoa powder. We cherished a couple bites and asked to take the remainder home (by the way, Tiramisu is part of a healthy breakfast). Yes, Michael's On The Hill is pricey--with a 23% percent tip, our meal was about $275--but every bite was worth it. Find out for yourself.

    A really lovely upscale dining experience. I came here with my family and it was the perfect way to…read moreend the day. The restaurant is in a farmhouse and it feels like it, the interior is so warm and inviting with beautiful views of the Green Mountains. Everything is farm to table and seasonal, and you can tell each dish is made with real care. I do wish they had more vegetarian options, but it feels good supporting such a wholesome local business. If you're heading to Stowe or Waterbury this is right in between and a must stop. Easy parking and great service!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Hard not to like a stop in Ben & Jerrys. we planned our trip…read moreto stay in Vermont for a week, and a seminal part of the trip would be a visit to the B&J grounds. we made it by the 5th day. We didn't get tour tickets ahead of time but as luck would have it, we got the last 2 tickets to the next tour when we stopped into the ticket booth. The tour was fine, nothing to brag about or really even recommend, but we did see the original factory floor in full operation. The grounds were interesting. If you want a good hack, drive to the back secondary parking area and you can take a 15 second walk to the ice cream "graveyard"(instead of a 5 minute walk from the main area uphill). We took some other fun pics on the grounds. Depending on how much you like crazy kids its fun. I thought there was maybe 100 too many kids but that's my issue, they were having a great fieldtrip. You gotta go, and ya gotta get a cone, cause its a very Vermont spot to hit, and enjoy.

    This was a fun stop. Ben & Jerry's is my fiancée's favorite ice cream, and when we planned a trip…read moreto Vermont this was immediately on the list "to do". When we got there we were lucky to get the last two spots for the next tour. While we waited, we were able to walk around, take some pics, and try some ice cream. They have different flavors for sale and you are able to enjoy them anywhere in the place, including the tour. It is obviously touristy, but is a fun experience, and don't forget to visit the flavor graveyard, some interesting flavors there.
