Green Mountain Country Turns Colors

After all that driving and walking, you deserve a hearty meal, so settle in for food and fine beer at Otter Creek Brewing. Take a tour of the brewery if you're feeling rather ambitious. Arrive before 6 p.m. An Oktoberfest brew awaits you, and Otter Creek will help you pair beer with Vermont cheese.

Finally, head back to the nearly 200-year-old Swift House Inn for a nightcap at the wine bar before turning in.
