In addition to delicious food, guests have an ever-changing calendar of events to look forward to with every visit. Live music and themed dinner nights are weekly highlights, while unique events like the Grafton Ice Bar and Grafton Food & Spirits Festival draw visitors from near and far throughout the year. A stroll through Grafton village uncovers charming artist studios and boutique shops, while Vermont’s great outdoors beckon with seasonal activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and hiking available just down the road at the Grafton Trails & Outdoor Center.
