Basin Harbor Drive
Let the stress of your workweek melt away as you drive the scenic roads of Vermont, lazily wending your way over to the coast of Lake Champlain. Our destination is the exquisite Basin Harbor Resort & Boat Club. A true New England gem, this resort has been a beloved retreat for over 100 years. We will enjoy lunch at their Red Mill Restaurant, a renovated 1940s saw mill. From there, the return trip to Stowe is up to you.
The Details
We will meet at the flagpole in the show field parking lot at 10:00am and proceed from there. We are planning one stop along the way at Bristol Cliffs Cafe, one of our favorite spots. From there we will proceed to Basin Harbor Resort & Boat Club.

What to do after
North to Burlington
Meander up to Burlington, stopping for wine tasting along the way at Charlotte Village Winery and Shelburne Vineyard.
Shelburne is a charming town that offers not only the vineyard but also Fiddlehead Brewery, Vermont Teddybear Factory, Shelburne Orchards, Shelburne Museum, and the Kwiniaska Championship Golf Course.
Burlington is a beautiful city, home to a dynamic arts scene, an award winning marketplace, and lovely waterfront park. Spend the rest of the day shopping the Church Street Marketplace or take in the views of the Adirondack Mountains from Waterfront Park.
South to Middlebury
Hop onto the five-mile Middlebury Tasting Trail. Head south to Lincoln Peak Vineyard and grab yourself a wine growler and some cheese for your weekend in Vermont. From there you head to the well-known Woodchuck Cidery, and on to Stonecutter Spirits, Appalachian Gap Distillery, Otter Creek Brewing Co., WhistlePig Whiskey, and Drop-In Brewing Co.
Spend some time collecting your signature Vermont crafts to bring back home as you peruse the shops of Middlebury including Danforth Pewter, Vermont’s Own Products, and Maple Landmark.
Are you interested in taking in a bit of nature? Then take a hike on the network of trails that encircle Middlebury.
