"Let’s talk experiences.. a brewery tour can be boring if you aren’t into beer. But the Von Trapp Brewery has so much family history behind them (can I get a “the hills are alive” 🎶) that this was an enjoyable tour. Set in the hills of Stowe, with beautiful views, you are immersed into a proud, strong, family run legacy. You start off in the event space that overlooks the entire brewery for some really stellar Birds Eye views of the space. Then they walk you through all the different areas explaining the process for famous Austrian beers. Standing next to the huge vats was super cool, as well as seeing the canning process. After the tour of the facility, we got to sample about 4 different beers. As someone who does not like beer, I was impressed that I liked one of the golden lagers, Helles! There is a restaurant attached, so we ate dinner there, to top off our Vermont Austria experience with some Bavarian food! If you are in the area, this is a must try! IG Lentz_Explore"

"10/9/25 My husband, and I were traveling through Vermont on our way to Maine and made a stop at this brewery. I’ve known nothing about this gem until I went inside and realized this is the family behind the movie? “Sound of music.” I kind of was in shock, but in a good way, I kept reading more of the book they had on display in the gift shop, very interesting book indeed. We didn’t stay for food, as we just came to try out the beers on tap. They don’t offer flights so we ordered a variety to be able to try some. The brewery is quite large and lively. They do allow pets outside with their picnic tables. Although the ground is mainly gravel, so not perfect for pets paws, but their tables make for a good environment. It took a while to get our beers, but they were tasty and worth the wait. It was such a unique experience and we hope to return again in the future, next time to enjoy their food."

"As advertised! We loved our meal and even got dessert despite how full we were. The beer was very good, service was attentive. We have been both on week days and during race weekends. I recommend a reservation if you're heart is set on trying this place. Looks like a bierhall, feels like a bierhall and tastes like a bierhall."

"Stopped in to enjoy some tasty Austrian brews and fresh snacks on the beautiful and legendary grounds. We weren’t very hungry and couldn’t stay long, so we ordered a crisp lager, a shaved radish salad, and von Trapp pretzels with house mustards and beer cheese. The beer was cold and refreshing, the pretzels soft and salty, and the beer cheese absolutely knocked it out of the park. But the real star of the show was the shredded radish salad. Much to our surprise, this dish was a visual and culinary delight, a creative display of daikon, watermelon, and red radishes, lightly dressed with lemon oil and salt flakes. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and my daughters and I loved it! The ambiance of the bierhall is fantastic featuring large windows, tasteful taxidermy, and timber architecture all set against a scenic backdrop. If you’re in the area, definitely stop in and check it out!"

"My boyfriend and I came down from Smugglers’ Notch Resort to check out the disc golf course at the Trapp Family Lodge — I grew up watching The Sound of Music and absolutely insisted we stop here! I joked that it felt like we were disc golfing in Austria, since that’s why the family moved to this area (at least according to the movie!). We arrived without reservations, but the man up front was so kind and helpful — he managed to get us two seats at the bar, even though they weren’t originally right next to each other. The only little disappointment was that they don’t offer beer flights, though I’m sure there’s a reason for it! That said, they do have nice sampler sizes, so we each got two and shared. We ordered the pretzel and the Austrian potato salad (which is now my new favorite potato salad ever!). The pretzel was amazing, and all the dipping sauces at the bar were incredible — highly recommend trying them all. Our server, Justin, was super friendly and even humored me when I asked about the von Trapp family descendants and whether they ever come in! Forest was also incredibly sweet and helpful. Such great staff all around. I absolutely loved this place — it felt like a little childhood dream come true being there!"
