VON TRAPP BREWING - BREWERY TOURS

Tour vermont's largest brewery.

With this dream in mind, Johannes worked to start a brewery at Trapp Family Lodge. It became a reality in the spring of 2010, when von Trapp Brewery officially opened. Our brewery was originally a modest facility located in the lower level of the Lodge’s Kaffehaus. In 2015 we opened our 30,000 sq. ft. brewery located on Luce Hill Rd. featuring a Rolec Brew House and capable of producing up to 36,000 barrels of beer annually.  You can enjoy our beers at the Lodge or in multiple restaurants and bars throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Tennessee. 

Experience Vermont's largest brewery on a von Trapp Brewery Tour in Stowe Vermont! Located next to our Bierhall, our state-of-the-art Rolec brewing system and our fresh spring water help product some of the freshest and delicious lagers outside of Austria. 

Come Experience a von Trapp Brewing brewery tour and see what sets us apart from the rest!

Excellent experience, definitely the highlight of our visit to Vermont

“ My wife and I enjoy  brewery   tours  and typically do a single  tour  per visit to an area.  We found Vermontology while looking at the ‘Local activities’ link at the resort we were planning to stay at. We took a leap of faith and signed up three days prior to our trip. Natalia from Vermontology contacted us just minutes after placing our ticket request. On the day of the  tour  Natalia picked us on time at our hotel and we set out. Over the next 8 hours Natalia was an excellent guide…” Read more on TripAdvisor…

Brewery & Distillery Tour

“ An absolute must for beer and spirits enthusiasts. Natalia was very engaging and entertaining, provided great info about the areas we traveled through, and made the time fly by.

There is pick-up and drop-off offered, which is also very helpful, especially for this sort of tour. Sample sizes were just right to keep you buzzing, but not so much that you go sloppy.

“ My fiancé and I were having our parents meet for the first time at our venue in Killington, VT and we were looking for a something for all us to do together. We found Vermontology online and decided to book the  brewery  day  tour . It was PERFECT!” Read more on TripAdvisor…

Fun! Fun! Fun!

“My husband and I wanted to try something different for a weekend get-a-way and happened upon Vermontology. We are not ones that usually have much planned when we travel and thought it could not hurt to try a one day tour. We were greeted by our stellar guide, Natalia, and throughout the day it just got better. We visited and toured several local distilleries and breweries, had a great lunch at Otter Creek, and continued to navigate through beautiful Vermont. Having a small business ourselves it was humbling to see how Natalia had a vested interest in other small businesses within her community. Natalia was quick to point out many local stores and included several of these in her tour. It was very clear Natalia also had great rapport with the businesses on her tour. Need a coffee break? Want to detour to a certain place you heard about? Natalia was easy-going and had no problems stopping wherever you wanted on the way. I could go on and on about how great a time we had but you really have to try it for yourself. If you are looking for a great day, with a great host, for a great price, call Vermontology. You will not be disappointed!” Read more on TripAdvisor.. .

Eclipse Tasting Tour

Experience the magic of a solar eclipse while indulging in a culinary adventure of a tasting tour. On April 8, 2024, a rare total solar eclipse will cross the U.S., plunging a 124-mile-wide path stretching from Mexico to Canada into night-like darkness. Stowe, Vermont will be part of the state to experience the rare marvel of “totality” of the eclipse, causing day to turn to night. As you witness the celestial event, savor the flavors of Vermont through a curated selection of local food and/or beverages. This unique experience combines the wonder of nature with the richness of Vermont's culinary scene, creating a truly unforgettable journey for all your senses.

There is no guarantee of a clear sky while viewing. Nonetheless, when the Moon obscures the Sun for three minutes, the sky will darken as if it were night, creating a unique and memorable experience despite the weather conditions.

Solar eclipse viewing glasses (ISO 12312-2 compliant and CE certified) are included.

It is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Viewing any part of the bright sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury. Solar eclipse viewing glasses (ISO 12312-2 compliant and CE certified) are included in the price of the tour.

University’s beloved campus cat earns honorary doctorate in ‘litter-ature’

CASTLETON, Vt. (WCAX/Gray News) - A beloved cat named Max is among those graduating from a Vermont university this year, as he has been granted an honorary doctorate in “litter-ature.”

Outdoor cat Max has gained the hearts and minds of students and faculty alike at Vermont State University’s campus in Castleton, WCAX reports .

“I’ll pet him, give him a quick hug. He’s always super friendly, always super sweet. Sometimes, I see him chasing little animals, but that was when he was younger. He doesn’t do that as much anymore,” said Adsel Sparrow, a senior at the university.

Max lives a few steps away from the campus with Ashley Dow and her family. They got him four years ago.

“I was asked, ‘What’s your affiliation with the college?’ I was like, ‘My cat is the emotional support animal.’ He likes to be carried around on backpacks. Students pick him up, and he crawls up on their backs,” Ashley Dow said.

The university recently posted on Facebook that Max would be receiving an honorary doctorate in “litter-ature” alongside the Class of 2024. The tongue-in-cheek post noted the degree comes complete with “catnip perks, scratching post privileges and litter box responsibilities.”

Faculty say on top of Max’s pseudo-studies, he’s a big help to students, especially during a busy week of finals.

“You can see him enlighten students. Day to day, I look out my window and see him walking along, and I see students put down their phones and pick up Max. He jumps on their backs, and they’re taking selfies with him. He draws the crowds,” said Jessica Duncan, director of career development and innovation.

Officials in the admissions office say that sometimes Max is the highlight of the campus tours they give to prospective students and visitors.

“He comes out and actually greets most of our guests. He’ll follow them over to the old chapel where they get a general welcome, and then, when they start their tour, he usually follows right along with them,” said Brandon Kennedy, the associate director of admissions.

As the school year ends – and students head home for the summer – Max is bracing for a confusing time. Ashley Dow says breaks can confuse the cat and throw him off his normal self.

“He’ll go looking and then come back, kind of disappointed, kind of sad. He’ll stick around the house more, but it’s like he forgot they came back in the spring after one of the breaks, and he hasn’t really gone back up,” Ashley Dow said.

The Dow family looks forward to spending a bit more time with their cat, as he waits for his family down the road to return for another school year.

“He’s very lovable because almost every night, I go to do my nighttime routine, and he’s upstairs hanging out with me,” said Sydney Dow, Max’s human sister.

“There’s a while where he just stayed on campus. He’d forget to come home. The students will come back in the fall, and he’ll be gone for three days. We’ll have to go looking for him, and he’s there up on campus, hanging out and waiting for his people,” Ashley Dow said.
