Shelburne in Fall
The quintessential destination for Vermont in autumn, Shelburne offers vibrant fall foliage, apple picking, wine tasting, and the appearance of dozens of whimsical “Leaf People” along the roadsides: think scarecrows, but better dressed!
Leaf Peeping:
Peak foliage in the Champlain Valley typically arrives between mid-September and mid-October, and is incredibly popular, so please book early! Easily accessible foliage drives include the Spear Street corridor, or a drive south to charming Vergennes along Route 7.
Shelburne Orchards:
Located right on the shores of Lake Champlain, this postcard orchard cultivates over forty varieties of apples. Sip a mug of cider, and sample warm cider donuts under the changing leaves.
Shelburne Farmers Market:
Just steps from your door, browse fresh produce, artisan foods and handmade crafts at the Saturday market, or make a new friend at this popular local gathering point.
Shelburne Vineyard:
Fall is harvest season, and the perfect time to drop by the modern, airy tasting room to sample cold-climate Vermont wines and locally crafted harvest-based ciders.
