Itinerary
Day 1
Depart aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we head north to Vermont on our holiday getaway. Spend 2 nights at the TRAPP FAMILY LODGE in Stowe with its Austrian alpine style, reflecting the heritage of the von Trapp Family made famous by “The Sound of Music”. Staying at the Trapp Family Lodge in November, when it’s decorated for Christmas, feels like stepping into a cozy, alpine wonderland. The lodge is adorned with twinkling lights, festive garlands, and beautifully decorated Christmas trees. We begin our visit with afternoon TEA & COOKIES. Followed by a HISTORY TOUR to learn of the von Trapp family’s journey from Austria to Stowe, how Maria’s autobiography inspired the movie that made her an American legend and how a modest farm grew into a world-renowned resort overseen by the family. WELCOME DINNER in the main dining room.
Day 2
Following a buffet breakfast, explore the charming town of Stowe with a local guide for a GUIDED TOUR. We’ll take a short history walk through the quaint streets of Stowe, a scenic drive by Emily’s Covered Bridge - a picturesque wooden structure steeped in local legend, visit Cabot Annex and sample local cheeses and goods and visit Cold Hollow Cider Mill to experience a taste of traditional Vermont cider. Return to the lodge to relax and enjoy afternoon tea & cookies. FAREWELL DINNER in the Trapp Family Lodge Bierhall Restaurant.
Day 3
After our buffet breakfast we’ll say Auf Wiedersehen (good-bye) to our friends at the lodge. Explore the BEN & JERRY'S factory and learn how their famous ice cream is made, from cow to cone. The tour ends with a delicious tasting of their iconic flavors, making it a sweet experience for all! We depart for home with memories of our holiday getaway in Vermont.
