Indulge Your Senses With Maple Syrup
Arrive in Stowe mid-day for your stay at the Trapp Family Lodge! Perched on the picturesque slopes of Vermont, when you see this charming Austrian-style lodge, you will instantly understand why this farm was so dear to Maria von Trapp and her family.
Once you’re settled, step into a world where tradition meets innovation, as the Trapp family shares their passion for maple syrup production. On a guided tour of the sugarbush, you’ll see rows of maple trees ready to yield their precious sap and learn about the time-honored techniques used to tap, collect, and process the sap into liquid gold.
Indulge your senses as you witness the maple sugaring process in action, from the rhythmic drip of sap into buckets to the steam rising from the evaporator. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and aromas of the sugarhouse, where the sweet scent of boiling sap fills the air.
After the tour, savor the fruits of your labor with a tasting of Trapp Family Lodge’s finest maple products. Sample a variety of maple syrups, from delicate golden to rich amber, each offering its own distinct flavor profile.
As the day draws to a close, enjoy the chef’s creation of a maple-infused dinner (included). Vermonters take pride in their maple syrup and farm-to-table ingredients. Tonight, you will find out why!
In the afternoon, join your fellow travelers at the Trapp Family Lodge, where you’ll be greeted by your knowledgeable guide who will provide an overview of the von Trapp family’s legacy.
Learn about their humble beginnings in Austria, their rise to fame as a renowned musical family, and their eventual escape from Nazi-occupied Europe to find refuge in the United States.
Explore the lodge grounds, where the family built their home and established a thriving dairy farm in the picturesque mountains of Vermont. Hear tales of their early days in America, adapting to a new way of life while preserving their cherished traditions and values. Hear stories of their legendary singing career, from their humble beginnings as a family choir in Austria to their rise to international fame following the success of “The Sound of Music.”
The tour ends with a private chat with one of the grandchildren of Georg & Maria von Trapp.
Dinner is on your own this evening. We recommend one of Vermont’s most beloved breweries with a behind-the-scenes tour of Johannes von Trapp’s brewery. Learn about the art and science of craft brewing as you explore the brewing facilities and hear firsthand from the master brewers themselves. Then, indulge your taste buds with a sampling of von Trapp’s award-winning brews, from crisp lagers to robust ales, each crafted with care and precision. The brewery serves a full menu of American and Austrian favorites.
