We recently did the wine/cider/distillery tour, and unfortunately it was pretty underwhelming --…read moreespecially for the $200 per person price (plus gratuity). The tour felt rushed, unorganized, and unprepared. At each stop, the guides had to go in and order everything when we arrived, so we waited around, and by the time we finally got our cider, wine, or liquor, it was already time to leave. We were told there would be cheese boards, but our group of ten got a single small charcuterie plate to share and nothing else. At each stop we also heard the actual tasting prices -- $6 at the distillery and $10 at the cider place -- which made us question what we were really paying for. We could have done the same tour ourselves for about $30 per person. The guides were very friendly, but overall the experience didn't match the cost or expectations.

City tours called us and warned us of the problem and delay which was fine, as we were being picked up at our hotel. They resolved the problem quickly and our guide was there and ready to go within 15 minutes of the originally scheduled time. Our guide Lauren was fantastic! She handled the mishap with grace and without skipping a beat. City tours had to have Ubers take us from brewery to brewery which worked out perfectly fine in the end. On to the tour itself, we were a smaller group, which I loved! We stopped at 4 locations and we sampled A LOT of beer. (I don't understand the reviews saying you barely get 3 drinks because by the end of it my husband and I could barely drink the last beers) We got behind the scenes tours at 2 of the breweries. Goodwater was my personal favorite. Lauren gave us a phenomenal history lesson along the way, which I fully nerded out to. All in all, it was a really fun experience that both, my husband and I, would recommend trying!

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.

I was a little bummed that there was no farm tour but they provide you an informational video and plenty of maple syrup to sample. What blew me away was how nice and generous Tim was. He took time out of his day to show us around and even gave my husband & I some sugar maple candy to sample as well as answered any of the questions that we had. Their maple soft service ice cream (maple creemee) was also really really good! It tasted so light and fresh! I highly recommend Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks - very good ice cream, maple syrup and awesome staff! There is also parking and bathroom on site.

Love it here. Free…read morecompletely free - no admission fee, no parking fee. Very friendly people. Small business vibes. Follow your maps and once you cross the bridge they have tons of signs to direct you, hard to get lost. Trust they're hours, we showed up in the pouring rain and they're still open 9am-5pm weekdays. As soon as you walk in you'll get free samples. We sampled 5 cheeses and 2 grades of maple syrup - it sells itself. One cheese is made with unpasteurized milk - others include sharp cheddar, sage, smoked. Convinced me to try traveling home with cheese for the first time. Tons of products available for sell including from other farms as well. I recommend picking up some of the Red Kite Candy caramels they have there. If you liked it as much as me their factory is about a 30 min drive away. Other activities include petting animals (not in winter), walking trail, and self guided tour of their maple house. Wasn't able to do the trail in the rain but I would estimate you can do all of this in 2 hours. Not at all like Billings Farm if you're concerned about going to both or only have time for one. Billings has an admission fee, no samples of milk or cheese though the make both. More of a museum but they do have up close interactions with their cows (even in winter) for the kids, butter churning, candle dipping. Recommend Billing for taking kids on homesteading field trip, Sugarbush a quick stop for foodie/charcuterie person IMPORTANT: They do NOT sell sugarbush products at any of the stores in Woodstock so don't plan to buy more later and have regrets like us - we looked in every store and couldn't find it. Not sure about Quechee though. Products can also be ordered online and shipped

Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

Extremely disappointed! Amy would not honor an $130.00 gift certificate that I won, saying that it…read morewas expired when it had absolutely no expiration date on it. My husband and I booked a room (non refundable) as soon as we got off the phone with Amy. She text me the next day saying that she looked it up that night and my gift certificate had expired. I checked everywhere for an expiration date and there was none. She then blamed it on whoever printed the g.c. She did try to give us a few dollars off but honestly we were only going because it was free and it sounded cool as both my husband and I have been around gardens and farms all our lives. This was about a five hour trip for us. Thank goodness we found other things to do and we didn't have to forfeit our room as well! In the future, I would suggest that the expiration date be clearly PRINTED out on her so called gift certificate. Can't post without leaving a star so that's the only reason it's there.
