Add color and zest to your relationship with a colorful and flavorful trip to Vermont.

There are hills splashed in hues of yellow, burnt orange, and pink; warm golden-brown maple syrup, the glittering white of winter, lush green meadows, rich yellow Cabot cheese, and sun warmed apple cider. Vermont is bursting with color, flavor, and richness.

One of the most rural states of America with a moderate population, beautiful open spaces, and welcoming hospitality, Vermont is the ideal destination to unwind amidst the charming and scenic attractions. Classic country inns and bed & breakfasts blend with world famous ski resorts, covered bridges with beautiful Lake Champlain, New England church steeples with agri-tourism farms and bustling "downtowns" with big performers and vibrant festivals. Vermont makes a perfect romantic getaway with such a delicious blend of relaxed and vivacious attractions.

Each region of Vermont has so much to offer for that special getaway. Unlike most state capitals with their lofty skylines and urban glitz, Montpelier is refreshing-with Hubbard Park's striking red oak, white pine, and old hemlock trees and the charming shops on Main Street. Burlington and the Lake Champlain area have some of the state's iconic attractions like Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory, Robert Hull Fleming Museum, historic Church Street Marketplace, as well as bustling B&B's and beautiful Lake Champlain itself.

The Green Mountains, symbolic of Vermont, are beautiful and attraction-abundant at any time of year. From viewing the maple leaves in the fall to the thrill of skiing at top ski resorts like Killington and Stratton, this region makes for a great romantic getaway. Towering Mount Mansfield, marvelous skiing at Smugglers Notch and Stowe, the charming Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, Lamoille County's Covered Bridges, and flavorful Stowe Village make the Northern Region a veritable hotspot for tourists.

The rural pleasures of the Central Region are alluring with Vermont's famous farm life. Get real Vermont cheddar cheese at Sugarbush Farm or savor the past in the century-old preparations of ham, cheddar cheese, maple syrup, and other specialty foods at Dakin Farm. The scenic vistas of the Southern Region are captivating, whether in the manicured elegance of the gardens at Robert Todd Lincoln's Hildene Home or the brimming daylilies and delicious blueberries of Olallie Daylily Gardens. See the rugged beauty of the most rural part of Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom, where you can do anything from leaf peeping at the glorious foliage to watching the moonrise while lying in a field.

Vermont is an ideal romantic destination. Enjoy the cultural richness of Classic New England with the 18th and 19th century buildings and entertainment like The Festival on the Green in Middlebury, along with a range of outdoor activities from fly-fishing to cross-country skiing.

A blend of great outdoor activities, charming lawn concerts, fairs and bazaars, and the riotous colors of the fall foliage contribute to the lure of Southern Windsor County, while Manchester and the mountain region are host to an eclectic range of attractions from Alpine and Nordic skiing to theater going, apple picking, and gondola riding.
