On the aptly named Gin Lane, Vermont's top distillery crafts award-winning spirits from raw honey. Stop in for a tasting and tour, but be sure to hang around for a classic Bee's Knees or G&T; Barr Hill's cocktail program was a finalist in the 2024 James Beard Awards' Outstanding Bar category, and rightfully so.
Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski crisscross the United States tasting whiskies from independent distilleries, choosing only the most interesting to bottle and sell under their Lost Lantern name. Their tiny Vergennes tasting room is the place to go to sample what they find, sometimes before it's released to the world or long after its bottles have sold out. Flights rotate seasonally, but bottles are always for sale.
