Quechee Gorge Village — Local services in Hartford

I have never been so disgusted as I was when we ran over to the antique store so I could get some Vermont Iced wine to bring back to North Carolina last Wednesday! the girl who was obviously the manager saw us coming it was exactly 5:28 and we had no idea they close that early and when she saw us she looked right at us and she ran over and closed the door and locked it just before we walked up to it!!! I knocked on it and she opened it and said I'm sorry we close at 5:30 I said I just wanted to get a bottle of iced wine she tell me to go try the store down the street called singletons....she tried to tell me they had already cashed out all of their registers which was a lie because the ladies were still standing at them we probably would've spent at least $100 there, probably more but she didn't care she just wanted to leave I have never met anyone any ruder then she was! Makes me wonder how they stay in business I have shopped at that store for years every time we go home but I will never go back again as long as someone treats me...

Such a great experience! It is a bunch of little shops, but they are all connected inside, which is sooo great if someone in your group is ready to move on but you are not.

They truly have something for everyone. From a Toy store, a candy store, an antique store, and everything in between! They had a store with clothing made from alpaca fur, and there were alpacas outside that you could visit and even feed!! They had a Vermont tourist gift shop with shirts, magnets, cups etc. that say Vermont, or Quechee. There was a store with specialty foods. They had an entire section of maple syrup in different forms, a wine section, a jam section etc. and they had coolers full of Cabot cheese. I was disappointed that they have not brought back the free samples.

There is a gift for anyone you can think of here! It's the cutest little place! A must do...

Oh mercy. Where do I start. Ok my fav place the alpaca shop. Well right after I go visit the alpacas outside in the pen. So darn cute. Then I must check out the gorgeous alpaca yarns. So squishy. Love the new colors that were available this time. Lisa.. the owner is so nice to chat with. My daughter bought one of the alpaca shawls. It is beautiful. Then there are other shops to browse through. Candy. Small toys. And last the cheese and wine shop. The samples of cheese are amazing. I always buy several diff cheeses to bring home to share with friends. And also I must buy 6 of the dog cookies also. Lol. My pets are spoiled. There is a small train ride. No I haven't done that yet. And a carosel also. Just a fun rest stop on my trip from cape cod to VT. Please do stop in. You won't be...
