Our first destination is Shelburne Vineyard. Their tasting room features Vermont-grown and Vermont-made wines and ciders, ranging from dry to semi-sweet to sweet. For over two decades, Shelburne Vineyard has been a pioneer and advocate of the Vermont wine region. Their goal is to elevate Vermont as a distinctive wine and cider region. We love their barn-style building and the patio seating with a view of the vineyard. Enhance your visit with local cheeses, charcuterie, jams, cured meats, and locally made crackers.

Next, we visit Charlotte Village Winery, established in 2001 by fourth-generation Vermonters. They began with blueberry wines from their 10-acre field and now produce various wines from both fruits and grapes. Sampling their wines while overlooking the blueberry fields and enjoying the Adirondack Mountains from their tasting deck is a delight. The warm, family-oriented atmosphere provides a unique experience.
