Flavors of Vermont

Day 1

Today we depart for our destination of Killington, located in the Green Mountains of central Vermont. With stops for rest and lunch on the way, we will check into our hotel accommodation for the next three evenings before an included dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 2

This morning after breakfast, we depart with our local guide to Montpelier and visit the Vermont History Museum. The destination to learn the history of the Green Mountain State, showcased by the Historical Societies collections and exhibits. Lunch on our own will be followed by a self-guided tour through the smallest Capitol, and the oldest active legislative halls in the United States with preserved original interiors. Next will be a stop at "The Annex" for some shopping before a visit to the Vermont Granite Museum, with over 40 exhibits showcasing the art, history, and science of Vermont's granite industry. Dinner this evening will be included at a local restaurant.

Day 3

We will enjoy breakfast at the hotel before departing with our local guide to Mendon Mountain Orchards. A 3-generation, family-owned historic apple orchard with a farm story and bakery full of tasty Vermont goodies. You'll likely see their chickens roaming the property! We'll continue to the New England Maple Museum for a historic journey through Vermont's maple sugaring from indigenous times to the present, and home to the world's largest jug of maple syrup. We will enjoy lunch on our own with free time in Middlebury, before a stop at Danforth Pewter to see artisans at work creating beautiful pewter products, while learning the history of the timeless metal. A visit to Blue Ledge Farm will follow, a first-generation family-owned dairy and cheese making operation with a mission to create a high-quality product, built on the cornerstone of respect for the land, animals, consumers and the local community. Dinner this evening includes a live Vermont Chef cooking demo with recipes, cooking tips and a TASTE of the gourmet results!

Day 4

After breakfast we depart for home. With stops for rest and lunch enroute, arrival home is scheduled for this evening.

Our intention is to run each tour as originally planned and published. However, if deemed necessary to do so, Perkiomen Tours reserves the right to make changes to tour components, schedules or itineraries without prior notification.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.

Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations. Please be sure to verify your final seat number(s) with your driver at the time of boarding. Historically, daily seat rotation was practiced on most multi-day tours. We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
