Vermont leads the nation in maple syrup production, and if you don’t have your own maple taps in your backyard, there are plenty of places to learn how to make maple syrup. In the spring just about every sugaring house has some sort of maple event, check out: Vermont Maple Festival in St. Albans.

While the Jazz Festival kicks off the summer in Burlington, the Champlain Valley Fair is the culminating event.

The famous Von Trapp Family made their way from Austria to Vermont where they planted roots and created a lodge, brewery and Vermont destination. The spacious, green and hilly grounds of the lodge are great for a casual day trip.
