🍁⛲ A little fall joy at the Norwich Inn!

The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and our fountain is still flowing… for now!

Before those chilly Vermont nights get cold enough that we have to shut it down for the season, come enjoy one of our favorite little spots at the Inn.

Take a stroll through Norwich, soak in the fall colors, stop and enjoy the fountain, and maybe stick around for a bite to eat or a locally brewed beer.

Sometimes the simplest things bring the most joy. 🍂❤️

🌧️☀️ Pouring rain and blue skies… all at the same time!

That’s fall in New England for ya! 🍁

One minute the sun is shining, the next it’s pouring, and somehow the fall colors look even better through it all.

Never a dull moment when Mother Nature is putting on her autumn show here in Norwich. 🍂

🍂 They say if you catch a falling leaf in autumn, you’ll have good luck for the next year…

Judging by the number of leaves coming down around Norwich right now, your odds are looking pretty good. 😂🍁

Fall has officially taken over the Upper Valley, and we’re soaking up every last bit of it while we can.

So get outside, enjoy the colors, and maybe try your luck at catching a leaf or two. We could all use a little extra good fortune for the year ahead!

🔥 You know what this means…

The Homecoming bonfire is going up on the Green, which means Dartmouth Homecoming Weekend is almost here! 💚

There are certain signs that fall has officially arrived in the Upper Valley, and this is definitely one of them.

The foliage is showing off, alumni are making their way back to Hanover, and another Dartmouth tradition is getting ready to light up the Green.

Welcome back, Dartmouth alumni! We’re looking forward to a great Homecoming weekend. 🔥🍁💚

🍁 Norwich was showing off a little this morning…

The colors are really starting to come alive around town, and every morning seems to bring a little more red, orange and gold.

If you’ve been waiting for that unmistakable Vermont fall feeling, it’s here.

Take the scenic route, grab a coffee, explore the back roads, stop for a local beer, and just enjoy it. This time of year never lasts quite long enough. 🍂

Come see Norwich in all its fall glory!

💚 Emmitt is dressed for the occasion and ready to welcome everyone to the Upper Valley for Dartmouth Family Weekend!

Whether this is your first Family Weekend or you’ve been making the trip to Hanover and Norwich for years, we’re happy to have you back.

Enjoy the time with your students, explore the Upper Valley, take in the first signs of fall, and hopefully find a little time to stop by and see us while you’re here.

Emmitt has his Dartmouth Parent hat and tie on, so clearly he’s taking his hosting duties very seriously. 🫎💚

Welcome, Dartmouth families! We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

❤️ If you visited us this summer, there’s a pretty good chance your experience was made a little better by these two!

This summer we were lucky enough to welcome Teodora from Bulgaria and Daniela from Romania to the Norwich Inn as part of our J-1 team.

They came in with fresh energy, big smiles, and a willingness to help wherever they were needed. And we definitely put that willingness to the test! From housekeeping to the kitchen to breakfast, Teodora and Daniela jumped in and became part of our team from day one.

We’re fortunate to have an amazing team here all year long, but during our busy season, having these two here to reinforce that team was a huge help. We truly couldn’t have done it without them.

Now, somehow, it’s already time to say goodbye. 😢

Teodora and Daniela, thank you for everything you brought to the Inn this summer. We hope you leave Vermont with some great memories, because you certainly helped create plenty of them here.

You may be heading home, but you’ll always be Innmates. ❤️

Safe travels and come back to visit us someday!

🍸🥄 One of our favorite seasons is finally here… SOUP SEASON!

Morgan and Eric are certainly enjoying a bowl. 😂

Stop into Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse and see what kind of “soup” Ron or Eric can shake up for you tonight.

Served up, on the rocks, or apparently with a spoon. 🍸

🍂 You can feel the seasons starting to change at the Inn…

The nights are getting cooler, Patti’s planters are full, and little touches of fall are starting to sprinkle their way around the property. Summer hasn’t quite left us yet, but fall is definitely letting us know it’s on the way.

That blending of seasons is one of those essential New England experiences. Cool mornings, warm afternoons, the first hints of color, and evenings that have you reaching for your favorite sweater.

It’s the perfect time to come visit, slow down, and explore the Upper Valley. And if you’re lucky enough to already be here, grab a Jasper Murdock Ale, find a spot on the porch, put on that favorite sweater, and enjoy it. 🍺🍁

These are some of our favorite days of the year.

🍂💐 Tell us this week’s bouquet from Brook & Blossom Farm doesn’t say fall!

The colors are changing outside, and apparently our dining room tables got the memo too. We love seeing what arrives each week and getting to showcase these beautiful locally grown flowers throughout the dining room.

Come see this week’s bouquets on the tables, stay for dinner, and enjoy a little taste of fall in Norwich. 🍁
