East Arlington’s Chocolatorium
will provide a similar sugar rush,
augmented with fascinating facts
and hands-on fun. Although you
may wonder if you’ve stepped into
Willy Wonka’s world, there’s no
lack of local flair—and food—
to bring you back to the Green
Mountains. If you fancy a flight
of chocolate, you’ve come to the
right place, and if the timing’s
right you may even find yourself
embedded in a full-on tasting
event. Youngsters, as well as the
young at heart, will enjoy the
opportunity to hand-craft their
own chocolate bar under the
guidance of a master confectioner.
Don’t leave without a look at
Cocoa, the world largest chocolate
teddy bear brought to life by
owner Nick Monte (who also
crafted the world’s largest peanut
butter cup in 2013).
If sweet isn’t your style, you’ll
find the same unique flavor with
savory undertones at The Vermont
Cheese House. The establishment
isn’t difficult to locate, having
been erected in the likeness of its
namesake: a giant wheel of cheese.
With round walls and a bright
yellow hue, it seems as though a
slice has already been savored, and
you’ll feel equally eager to sample
from the House’s vast selection.
Take home a wheel of Vermont
