The oldest house in Magog is now a museum about the first family of Magog, and it's descendants…read more(and future owners of the house). The good: Lots of original furniture. Lots of original artifacts and tools. They did an archeological dig a while ago and found a ton of things that are now exposed. They have the option of an audio tour, or a tour with a guide (which we did). Tour is both in french and in english. Some interactive parts in the tour. Nice looking boutique. Great service by the employees (also always smiling). Coat hanging area provided. Second exposition about the city's oldest manufacturer available. The bad: You learn about the family, but not as much as the way of living in that era. Upstairs closed to the public (would be great to see an authentic bedroom). Manufacturer exposition is a little bland. If you go in without a guide, the tour will be VERY quick. Road from street to the house is very muddy. This was a great experience! We would definitely go back as they are still discovering things about the owners.

Once you get up to the cabin it a a magical experience with a spacious wood interior and painted sky and when it's nice out watching bands on the lawn in the Adirondacks facing the stage is where it is at. So many epic sunsets with good music and good brews up here this year. Come here for the first time, come back and check it out. Love this place.

I've been here 4-5 times now. Sometimes it's just to run in to grab a chunk of cheese and ask Tracy…read moreabout the weather for the ride back to Massachusetts. More often we spend a few hours tasting and dining at the bistro. As for the actual tasting, Tracy knows what's up. She is very easy going and incredibly knowledgeable about the products from the black snake whiskey, and eden iced ciders to the jasper Hill Farm cheese. You pay a minimal price and pick a number of alcoholic beverages to sample off the list. Tracy will arrange your choices in the order in which they should be tasted and give you the history of each as you taste. They have wine, vodka, gin, and ice cider. Ice cider is NOT a beer-like cider such as angry Orchard. It is a fancy type of distilled cider made by an elaborate process of freezing and skimming off ice which leaves a concentrated, amazing cider. It's made somewhere else in Vermont, but we learned they recently started making it in the basement of the tasting center itself. All products are Vermont made. Next we move over to the bistro and visit "pixi" the bartender. We order the shrimp and corn fritters with maple butter and the chicken liver pate with apple chutney which Mike was allowed to take home (jar, spoon, and all). I've always loved the fritters which are to die for. "Pixi" brought us extra salted triangle shaped crackers for the pate and gave us numerous samples of various drinks including Hill farmstead's new beer, "Mary" and the "Magog sunset". Whiskey shots are $6. All products from the testing center as well as maple candies, bakery items, and cheeses are available for sale at the back of the store. They even provide maps and information on all their partners. Overall, this is one of my favorite places ever. Not just in the Northeast Kingdom, not just in Vermont, but ever.

We were there on a Friday afternoon, in the period between winter and spring…read more The good: Beautiful area of nature. Animals and birds presents. Walking maps and indicators. Clear walking paths. There seems to be activities there as they are scavenger hunts questions throughout the path. Scenery is terrific! The bad: No bathrooms along the way, so be prepared. The "orange walk line" can get pretty windy. Not much benches or places to sit. Can be muddy. This is such a beautiful place to walk. I can see why it is so popular.

We ordered poutine and a couple pizzas and thoroughly enjoyed it ALL (seriously you had to roll me out). The Vermont special was 10/10. My kid, who doesn't like crust, ate the crust! Everyone was so nice from the time we walked in (we looked lost) to the time we left. The vibe was chill- country music on the radio.

It might have just been how it was spread that one particular time. The pizza itself tasted good though. The drinks were good, and no complaints on the service. I'd try again and see if the next time is better.

You also buy a glass for $5 CAD which you get to keep. The wine tastes range from 1 coupon to 4 coupons. I loved their white wine - the Cep d'Argent Vin Blanc Sec. I believe that this wine is their best seller! Extra coupons can be used towards bottle purchases. Bottles start at $18 CAD. Excellent service as well. Would recommend!

The 6 samplings of the wine tasting was fun and we were happy to pick up a few bottles to bring home to try with a fine homemade meal.

The woman who was running the shop was very kind and told us all about each of the products. Everything is made from blackcurrants; they have syrups, gelato, preserves, and wines. We ended up buying one of each of the wines and a bottle of the syrup, all of which are very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through the area.
