As an Austrian American, this was a really cool spot to visit! The beer is great and so is the food. The bratwurst is legit - get it on the sandwich or on its own, it's delicious either way. The cheddar lager soup was also very yummy, as were the pretzels. They were having an extremely busy night on a holiday weekend so it was a little hard to get the attention of the bartenders, but understandable. Staff at the host stand seemed a little overwhelmed by all the visitors and as a result maybe weren't the friendliest. If I had to guess, there's probably a better overall vibe on a quieter night. We were lucky to grab a seat at the bar - you should know they only allow you to order off the food menu if you have a seat (so either put your name on the list, or hope for the best on a busy night). Beautiful property and a cool little slice of history.
This place was insanely busy, but we were aware of that coming in during a busy season. We luckily were able to snag a seat at the bar. Luka was amazing. He was friendly, efficient, and working nonstop. I got the cheese plate and my husband got the bratwurst, we both enjoyed our meals. Would not suggest coming here without a reservation unless it's just two people.
3 - Good choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. BLUF: if you're in the mood for German beer and food, I'd give a higher rating. I could even see trying to talk mama into driving an hour if I really had a taste for some schnitzel. So rating Von Trapp a high 3 is based on an average evening where you're not sure what you want for dinner. As I've alluded to, it's German themed as it was founded by the family around which the Sound of Music was written. Our server was fantastic. She was the right balance of helpful and fun without dominating our experience. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and it's an overall comfortable environment. Most importantly, the beers were good. (We sampled them all.) They were again all German style, so if you're looking for a couple of NEIPAs or ESBs to pick from you won't find one. If we're ever in Stowe again, I'd happily return to spend an evening. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
Perfect Spätzle!! Maple Lemonade was very good too! Several hour wait but we found spot at bar area ..
This place is a beautiful lodge-style bierhall with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. The servers were friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. The salmon with roasted vegetables and farro was the standout of the meal, and the zucchini fritters were superb. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and good beer. A highly recommend stopping when in Stowe!
My family and I came here for lunch during our recent visit to Stowe. My wife is a big fan of The Sound of Music, so visiting this bierhall was high on her list of places to try in Vermont. We had a 1:00pm. reservation, and when we arrived, the restaurant was packed. Despite how busy it was, we were seated promptly and requested a table outside, which made for a great dining experience. Our server took our drink orders, and my wife had a Dunkel while I ordered a Helles. Both beers were excellent. We placed our food order, and everything came out surprisingly fast. My youngest son ordered the burger with spaetzle, and my oldest had the mushroom stroganoff. They both finished their meals without a single complaint. My wife ordered the bratwurst sandwich with a side of spaetzle, and I had the chicken schnitzel. Everything was flavorful, well prepared, and satisfying. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the friendly service, the lively atmosphere, and the delicious food and beer, this is definitely a place I'd return to. The menu has plenty of items I'd love to try the next time we're back in Stowe.
Loved this historic brewery. The space is huge, with plenty of indoor seating, a beautiful sunroom filled with windows, and outdoor seating as well. It did feel like we were in The Sound of Music! The menu is on the smaller side and doesn't offer many dietary accommodations, but they were able to provide gluten-free crackers with the cheese plate. He even brought an extra serving of crackers for us. I also ordered an iceberg salad, which came with a generous amount of dressing. I do wish there had been a gluten-free beer or cider option available, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a really charming spot with great atmosphere and historic character.
Our first time coming to Stowe and it did not disappoint! This establishment was in our list to visit. My family and I came Memorial Day Weekend. At first, we tried to get reservations for Sunday evening but it didn't workout out. We tried again the following afternoon and were able to get a reservation for lunch. Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious and plentiful -- family style meal portions to share and there was a great selection of beer that we enjoyed. Loved the vibe of the place when we first walked in and loved reading up on the history of the Von Trapps. We are very much looking forward to our next trip up!
Exceptional Brewery, Exceptional Beer, Exceptional Food! The finest European beers is the USA! Gorgeous brew hall and restaurant. The food is 5 Star! The Charcuterie is "Top Tier" with all the finest meats, cheeses, olives, etc. The brats and the pork belly are phenomenal. Great care was taken to seat us and explain menu options. My Highest Recommendation!
Stopped here on a gorgeous August day just as the sun was going down. The beer garden is absolutely spectacular and has the most gorgeous view. The beers are good. I'll have to come back and try the German fare.
Delicious food, service, and ambiance! Reservations recommended. However, the bar seating is first come first serve with a full food menu.
Spacious, super nice surroundings and very high ceilings make for a great place to stop sample some beers and catch your breath from nearby hiking. My favorite: DUNKEL. You may get some inspiration to start yodeling while you are on the property....
The one star is for their pretzel cheese and that's it. Other than that It's a complete tourist money grab. Half of the beers were unavailable, the service was pretty crappy, the mushroom stroganoff was cold with barely any sauce, the drunken ribeye had zero seasoning and when we got our bill there were items on it we didn't order. Save your money and if you come here only do beer and pretzels.

The sound of music? More like the sound of my burp after this delicious meal. The service was a bit slow but there was only one waiter so Rhonda is giving her a lil break. When I was looking at the beautiful scenery I thought back to when I was young and in love in till he left me for Rachel wells...Look at me now Rachel?! Alas..... it was great!

Go for the hype; stay for the beer. This place is genuinely enjoyable--the beer is excellent, and the food is well prepared. The waitstaff may not treat you quite like family, but they are quick, courteous, and attentive. The wild boar heads and large feast-style tables create a small German beer-hall feel that adds to the experience. Take the time to go, relax, and sample the beer. And if you like good lagers give them a try. read more

We really enjoyed our stop to the scenic Von Trapp estate and brewery. The view of the Green Mountains must be seen to fully appreciate. The brewery had the German euro feel to it with very good beers and full food menu. Bratwurst, schnitzel, sausage, and pretzels available. The dining area may require reservations but there is an observation deck for walk ins as well. Service was very friendly and helpful. Parking is very large. read more

Good beer, great food (a little pricy), cool space. We had the salmon, which was very good, the burgers (on the smaller side), and a pretzel. Service was kind and quick, and we enjoyed the experience. read more
Really enjoyed our meal here! This was our first stop upon arriving in Stowe on a snowy day, and it really was picturesque. The interior is open and spacious, but cozy. It has the perfect bier hall vibe. It was pretty quiet because it was an off time and due to the snow. I have been here when it's bustling. Service was friendly and fast. Their lagers are always great and pair perfectly with your food, whether you're having snacks or a meal. We shared a schnitzel style chicken sandwich with fries and fresh spatzle with roasted vegetables. We had a lot of great food on this trip, but this was one of my favorite meals. The chicken sandwich had great flavor and the chicken was crunchy without having too much breading. The fries were crisp and well seasoned. The spatzle was sooo soft and buttery and the mix of vegetables with the drizzle of balsamic glaze was the perfect balance. Highly recommend! read more

Service was very good! They had a Pub Trivia which was a lot of fun! Food was good. The avert Cheese soup was delicious and perfect for a snowy night. The pretzel with mustard and beer cheese was SO YUMMY! The Brats were good. My husband and daughter both had one . My daughter was not impressed but my hubby liked his. The spaetzle was tasty as well. Nice atmosphere! The cider and beer of course were delish!! read more

Maybe I'm a Sound of Music fangirl, but the only thing I ever knew about the town of Stowe is that the von Trapp family had a brewery there. I just kind of thought everyone knew this, but when I sent friends and family photos from the brewery, they were all surprised. So I'm here to tell you that Johannes von Trapp, the youngest and (as of 2025) last surviving child of Georg and Maria von Trapp, manages the Trapp family resort/brewery in Stowe, VT, where the family eventually settled in the 40s. Since we were staying in Burlington and had a free day, we decided to check out the brewery and Ben & Jerry's. The brewery is large and has lots of taxidermy to look at. The outdoor area was perfect for the sunny day. We each got a beer to try - I had the radler, which was less citrusy than I usually prefer, but refreshing. We didn't have any food, but it all sounded really delicious, with specialties like schnitzel, spaetzle, bratwurst, etc. They have a small gift shop that was full of some really cute items, and we all liked the logo - I was lucky enough to get some coasters as a free souvenir. So happy to have checked this one off my list. read more
Lovely restaurant with quality food. We were seated in the solarium which gave us a nice view of outside. The food was excellent. Everything was expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. They have a terrific selection of beers and a few wines. Our waitress was missing in action for a period of time but I think they were understaffed. She was fabulous when we had her attention and we weren't left without anything for too long. I think if you are visiting the Von Trapp Lodge, the Bierhall is worth a visit more than their main dining hall. All of the best offerings can be found here. read more
Great beer and tasty food. We stopped here on our way home after a ski trip and were glad we did. The beer selection is extensive; the food options not so much--lots of traditional German fare: schnitzel, kielbasa, etc. All good. But limited. My kids did fine here. The service was friendly and fast. The ambiance was awesome: soaring ceilings, huge windows, and lots of taxidermy. read more

Dear Raja,…
Von Trapp Brewing is everything you look for when you are looking for good food, excellent drinks, and a nice atmosphere. First, you can't ask more from the location. The scenery is amazing. They have an awesome outdoor area as well as an indoor dining and bar area. Whether you are here with a small party or a giant group, they can easily accommodate your needs. The food was excellent. We began with their pretzels. The two were gone in seconds. We also ordered the following: Deer Braised Pull Pork, Johannesburger, Grilled Bratwurst Sandwich, and Chicken Fingers. Everything was delicious. I also ordered an amber ale beer (Vienna). I'm hoping that this is available at home. It hit the spot. The bartender who helped us out was great. He was very attentive. Everyone, from the host to the other employees were very helpful. Vonn Trapp Brewing is a must when you visit Stowe, Vermont. read more

We tour the guided tour of the brewery thru the resort which was excellent. Stayed for dinner which was awesome and very reasonably priced. Liked it so much we went back again the next night and had another delicious meal. There were 6 of us and everyone totally was happy. Good service and great selection. And all the beers were really fresh and yummy. Wish I lived closer or I'd be there all the time!!! read more
We really enjoyed our visit to the bierhall. Beautiful facility. We sat in the atrium area which offers pretty views of the property. We really enjoyed the beer and the food. We did the cheese board appetizer and the bratwurst appetizer. Delicious. The service was super. The beer selection is good. Definitely recommend a stop by. read more

HI Laurie,…
The facility and vibe is beautiful here, especially on a snowy afternoon! The employees were friendly and quick and the food and beer were really good. They have a nice selection of both and the place is large enough where it never feels uncomfortably crowded. Will definitely return on my next trip to VT! read more
Really enjoyed: ambiance of eating outside on the patio with great views. Spätzle was so good- crispy on the outside and well-seasoned. Bauernwurst was unexpectedly great (I got it because they were out of brats, and I liked it even better- it had a slight spiciness!) Not a fan: the soft pretzels were pretty dry and bland. Especially disappointing because the pretzel bun for the sausage was excellent! Just ok- service- seemed pretty disinterested. Make sure to put the restaurant into your GPS or follow signs for the restaurant and not the lodge, which is on a different road. read more
