The Experience of Summer

Welcome to summer in the heart of Vermont, where the landscape is lush, the air is fresh, and every moment feels like a getaway. At the Woodstock Inn & Resort, days are filled with rounds of golf on our manicured fairways, peaceful mornings casting a line fly-fishing, and unforgettable evenings savoring seasonal, local cuisine. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure, relaxation, or simply a change of scenery, you’ll find the perfect blend of comfort and experiences in Woodstock, Vermont. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Green Mountains, your perfect summer escape begins here.

Reintroducing Richardson’s Tavern

Our resort’s second restaurant, Richardson’s Tavern returns with a renewed spirit — where local ingredients shine and the pace feels just right. Executive Chef Matthew McClure and his team create shareable dishes that evolve with the seasons, highlighting nearby farms, and focusing on local flavor. Guests are welcomed with heartfelt hospitality, comforting flavors, and the kind of atmosphere that invites you to settle in, stay awhile, and come back soon.

From Seed to Harvest

In our resort’s Vermont Certified Organic Kelly Way Gardens, the seeds of the summer are starting to grow into vegetables, flowers, and fresh produce for our kitchens! During the season, the gardens transform weekly, and our guests will experience it through beautiful flower arrangements in the lobby, new dishes on our menus, fresh garnishes on cocktails, and fun gardener-led programs!

For the ultimate garden-to-table experience, our Red Barn Dinner Series has dates June to August for incredible chef’s table dining right at Kelly Way Gardens itself. 

There are fields, paddocks, gardens, barns, and more to explore at Billings Farm & Museum.
