When they first built this uber fun brewery and tasting room in sleepy Milton Delaware it was popular right away for craft beer aficionados. The Milton Brewery and tasting room has grown so much better it is a must stop if you are on DelMarVa peninsula. The tasting room is a hoot with uber friendly staff. The Dogfish shop is perfect for all the gear. The brewery tour is fascinating too if you are a hop head. We always stop in on our way into Rehoboth Beach and the new tasting room kitchen, sweet warm, sunny patio area makes for a perfect place to have a few flyers of delicious Dogfish craft beer. CHEERS ????????????

This small theater has weekly entertainment, the shows are great, some performances have meals included. The audience is asked to interact. Very well organized. They do have their liquor license and there are some very good restaurants close by.

This lovely farm has rows and rows of lavender planted that bloom in June and are truly beautiful to see. The gift shop has many items made from lavender from the farm, as well as items made elsewhere but sold here. Great place to find a special gift or a gift for a hard to please person. I love their soaps and the Lavender Mist for linens and rooms. My husband loves the peppermint lotion for feet. I've given their lavender tea and mustard, along with soaps and lotions, to friends and relatives and everyone always raves about the gifts.

10. Winter Wonderfest

This year we decided to stop at Winter Wonderfest on our way home from the Delaware Beaches. It was a drizzly night, so we figured some of the activities would be closed, but knew that the drive-thru Light Spectacular display and the Schelleville Christmas Village would still be open. We got to the light display around 7:40pm. We paid admission for our car and drove the gravel path around the fields. Here they had big light up displays set up and even little light tunnels that you could drive through. We took our time driving through and looking at each display. It took maybe 20 minutes to drive through. It could be done faster, but we were not in a hurry & there really was no line or traffic to deal with. Our admission to the Light Spectacular included parking and admission to Schelleville. So, we pulled around the Christmas Tree lot and parked in front of Schelleville. Here were were excited to enter this miniature Christmas village! We walked up and through the gates to Schelleville. Once inside I was amazed! I felt like I had just stepped into a Hallmark movie. There were little houses (think about the size of large sheds) set up all around the outside of the Visit Delaware Ice Rink. The minaure buildings were designed on the outside to resemble victorian homes, a fire station, Town Hall, movie theater, Zwaanendael Museum, ice cream parlor, diner, radio station, market, B&B, bookstore, Mrs. Claus' Mansion and MORE. Each little building was decorated INSIDE and OUT! The attention to detail was amazing. Kids could walk inside the little buildings. In each building there was something different to play with whether it be a DJ booth, ice cream cones, cooking supplies (Diner), books, toys, etc. Some of the little homes even had a second floor. The movie theater was actually playing A Christmas Story. So, a few people could go inside and watch the movie! Around the outide of the buildings, the attention to detail continued. The walkways were bricked, lined with decorations and things to see. There was a kids fire truck to play on and a huge Santa sleigh for photos. By the Frosty B& B there was even snow machines blowing snow all about. It was so magical! In the center of the village was an actual ice skating rink. It was closed due to the rain but it was beautiful & looked like it would be fun. Beside the ice rink and in front of the Schelleville Express there was a nice lounge area for guests to sit round a fire. To the rear of Schelleville were heated restrooms and a heated tent. Here you could purchase hot food and beverages, including alcoholic beverages. There was a small stage set up inside so it appears that some nights they have live entertainment. According to the signs there they also had kids crafts and Santa visits, but neither were taking place while we were there. All the way to the back of the village, we found the carnival area. Here they had some amusements (rides and games) set up. However, the midway was closed due to the rain. We also saw a Snow Zone that appeared to have huge building blocks for the kids to play with and the Schelleville Express complete with an amazing train station. It was really pretty. Unfortunately both of these activities were also closed due to rain as well. The train really looked like it would be fun for the little ones. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Winter Wonderfest. Despite the rain and several of the activities being closed, we still had a great time. The Schelleville Village alone was worth the visit. Our kids had SO much fun playing in the little houses. They didn't want to leave! We finally left around 9pm, which appeared to be closing time. We spent a total of about 1.5 hours here and we definitely could have spent more time, especially IF it weren't for closures due to rain. I feel like this was my favorite holiday experience ALL season. I would HIGHLY recommend and can't wait til next season!
