It was great driving through the countryside the short drive to the winery. They are very friendly and helpful finding the wine for you. The wines are all a little different from some you might be used to ( in a positive sense). $7 for tasting and extra $2.50 for ice wine ( which I would skip).

Grand Isle is tucked away on Lake Champlain VT and is a real hidden gem. Typical campground setting, fire pits and picnic tables, bathrooms and showers. You can choose between a cabin, lean-to, or straight up campsite with hookups or no hookups.
We like to rough it and this is a step up. All the amenities you need and a close drive to burlington to check out local breweries and sights. Hiking also available in the area. If you feel up to it and have your passports cross over into Canada!

I highly recommend a trip here, it's a great value for the money. I like that you can go over the another movie if you don't like the one you're watching. They've got a mini-golf course and playground for the kids when they get bored. A decent selection of junk food in the concession stand. Overall a fun blast into the past !!!
4. Burlington Bike Path

Converted from the Central Vermont Railway to a bike path in the 1970s, this easy trail crosses through beaches and parks and offers great views of Lake Champlain, the Adirondacks and the city.

My wife and I cruised this path from Burlington to the ferry. The Ferry was discontinued for the season. There was plenty of variety with views of the lake, riding through quiet neighborhoods and at the ferry landing there views of the distant mountains. There are a number of park benches along the path.

Hiked here during a stay for our 32nd anniversary. Very nice park...there are three 'points' you can hike, and there is a mooring area in Deep Bay for boats coming in from Lake Champlain. It is all free unless you go to the other side of Short Point to swim...which we did not. We recommend going out Long Point all the way to Rocky Point. There are two benches there, and a wonderful view across the lake. You will walk about 3.2 miles (1.6 miles each way), but it is all pretty level and well maintained.

I have great memories of going here as a young child and teenager. Good thing I have those as it was a waste of a trip now all these years later. The place looked dirty and run down and the inside reflected the same. The only thing good about it was the Goat who wanted attention. No of us will be going back there.

This is our 2nd visit to walk the causeway. It is just so cool that you can bike it or walk it. People are courteous and friendly. Can get a little crowded but not serious. The views of the surrounding mountains are beautiful. Looking forward to go back and maybe biking it this time

We stopped in last week to make sure that the cider donuts we first tried two years ago were still good. They were, as was the home-made apple crisp (tart and sweet at the same time, with the taste of apples melting in your mouth). We bought a gallon of their maple syrup, as well as a bag of Cortlands and some garlic and tomatoes. The apple trees were loaded with apples, the yard full of big pumpkins, and there is a little playground for the little ones. The people that work at Hacketts are so friendly and helpful. What a great place to spend the afternoon - eat good food, pick some gorgeous apples, and support a local family business. I highly recommend at least one visit.
