Maybe you’re trying to take a break from alcohol for the month or perhaps it’s a New Year’s resolution to drink less (or none at all).

From zero-proof wine and locally made switchel served at the Woodstock Inn & Resort’s restaurants to N/A beers, prosecco, and even a spirit-free mojito at Dr. Coburn’s Tonic.

Cone or cup, hard or soft serve, sprinkled or dipped, there’s no wrong way to enjoy the sweet summertime treat! We are here to answer your ice-cream questions like “can I walk there from here?”, “do they serve hard serve or creemees?”, and… “what even is a creemee??” We’ll start with the latter. Simply put, a creemee is soft serve ice cream to a Vermonter. But we know how to make it even better. Using local cream, creemees typically have a higher butterfat content, making them creamier than your run-of-the-mill soft serve. And famously, a Vermont creemee stand is not complete without the fan favorite, all-natural flavor, maple! Read on to find out where in Woodstock, Vermont to find this delicious ice cream icon and even more flavors you’ll fall in love with.
