Description

Registration Requirements: Preregistration required. Register all adults and children 3 and over. This event is expected to sell out!

Intended Audience: This program is designed for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Ages 21 and up must present an ID to partake in alcoholic beverages. 

Program Description: It’s opening weekend of Maple season! Help us kick off this beloved time of year and get a special, behind-the-scenes tour of our maple operation. Complete with bourbon tastings, maple beer, maple foods, and more! 

Highlights of this event will include:  

• Join us on a Sugarbush Hike to learn all about the maple sugaring process, from tapping the trees to checking the pails for sap. Afterward, cozy up in the Sugar House to get a firsthand look at how we turn sap into syrup. Sugarbush Hikes will depart every 30 minutes and will traverse about one mile of relatively flat, even trails. Each hike will last about 45 minutes.  
• Sample warm maple syrup and other goodies made with nature's liquid gold.
• Enjoy an alcoholic beverage or sample maple beer made exclusively for Maple Fest in partnership with a local craft brewery (Bring your ID to enjoy adult beverages, please!)   
• Sip on complimentary bourbon samples. Nothing pairs better with maple syrup than bourbon!
• Join in games and activities that tell the tale of syrup making.
• Purchase a cup of hot soup or grab a cup of decadent cocoa!
