Shelburne Vineyard planted its first grapes in 1998 on the east shore of Lake Champlain, in what locals call Vermont's "banana belt" — a near sea-level stretch of the Champlain Valley warm enough to sustain cold-climate winemaking. The working vineyard's grounds, with sweeping views toward the water and vines running down to a great lawn, set the backdrop for weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, and other private gatherings. Guests are typically hosted in the Tasting Room, a 806-square-foot space centered on an elegant cherry tasting bar built from wood grown on nearby Shelburne Farms, with French doors opening onto flagstone patios and vineyard views. A separate loft overlooks the tasting room and offers a smaller, more intimate space for seated dinners or standing receptions. From late spring through early fall, the outdoor patio and lawn extend the celebration further into the vines, with tented capacity available through Vermont Tent Company. Shelburne Vineyard's events team works directly with hosts to plan weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, and holiday parties, and can accommodate catered dining throughout the property.

The Middlebury Inn has anchored the village green in Middlebury, Vermont since 1827, when Nathan Wood opened it as the Vermont Hotel. Renamed the Addison House in 1852 and substantially renovated under Allen Calhoun beginning in 1897, the property reopened as The Middlebury Inn in 1927 and has operated continuously for more than 180 years.

Set in the heart of the Champlain Valley overlooking Middlebury's town green, the inn pairs its historic character — antique grandfather clocks, carved mantelpieces, and Victorian-accented guest rooms — with amenities including Morgan's Tavern restaurant, Waterfalls Day Spa, a business center, and complimentary fitness center access. For events, the inn offers the Founder's Room, a high-ceiling ballroom with crown molding and a working marbled fireplace overlooking the town square, along with an outdoor courtyard nestled between two of its historic buildings — settings suited to weddings, elopements, corporate meetings, and private celebrations.

For more than 140 years, Basin Harbor has been shaped by five generations of the Beach family, beginning in 1882 when Ardelia Beach opened her farmhouse on the shores of Lake Champlain to visitors seeking an escape from the city. What began as a working farm grew, under Allen Penfield Beach, into a full resort with cottages, a golf course, a dance hall, and an airfield — additions that still define the property today. Set on the Vermont shoreline with views across Lake Champlain to the Adirondack Mountains, Basin Harbor now offers dining at Ardelia's restaurant, an 18-hole golf course, a boat club, and lakeside recreation alongside more than a dozen indoor and outdoor event spaces.
