Not limited to Woodchuck and Otter Creek, this tour visits about a dozen breweries, distilleries, and wineries in and around Middlebury, including Appalachian Gap Distillery, and award-winning Lincoln Peak Vineyard. There’s also Drop-In Brewing Company, home to the American Brewers Guild, and Stonecutter Spirits. Just outside of Middlebury you’ll find Shacksbury Cider, Hired Hand Brewing Co., Foley Brothers Brewing, Neshobe River Winery, Red Clover Ale Co., Hogback Mountain Brewing, Inc., and more!

Starting at $90 per person, this tour typically takes about 4 hours and includes door-to-door transportation, more than 16 tastings at 4 or more venues, and a light lunch. Server gratuities, taxes, and all keepsakes are included. Out-of-town visitors can be picked up from any of several public locations in their 12-passenger, easy step-on bus.
