Fall in the
Northeast Kingdom
October 5-7
East Burke, VT
$850/person
When the rest of the world imagines New England, they visualize Northeastern Vermont
The area between the Connecticut River and the Green Mountains is filled with picture-postcard villages set in lush green valleys among rolling hills. The towns are connected by winding roads, many of them dirt, that follow the rivers and when they cross them, they often do so through covered bridges. We will explore this area from the comforts and classic charm of the Inn at Mountain View Farm.
Fall foliage in New England is quite possibly the best in the Northeast Kingdom. This three day/two night workshop will visit over a dozen sites operating out of this classic 1883 inn on the 440 acre farm in East Burke, VT.
This workshop includes some meals. Hotel accommodations not included.
