Dine in Stowe for Vermont Restaurant Week 2018
April 17, 2018 by STOWE AREA ASSOCIATION
With a history rooted in agriculture, it’s no wonder Vermont’s dining scene is sought by travelers near and far. Vermont has been at the forefront of farm-to-table and organic movements. Restaurants focus on sourcing local ingredients and supporting the community. A commitment to quality is what sets food apart here. Named by Fodor’s Travel as the “#1 Ski Town for Foodies in the United States,” Stowe’s restaurants offer a dining experience unlike any other. Stowe’s sophisticated dining scene also has been recognized by Bon Appétit, Gourmet, the New York Times, SKI Magazine and Wine Spectator, among others.
Vermont Restaurant Week is a celebration of these unique flavors and dishes from around the state.
