🍁 Before you know it, this will be the view as you make your way over to Dartmouth!

Fall in Vermont has a way of sneaking up on us, and foliage season will be here before we know it. If a Vermont fall getaway is on your list, now is the time to book your stay at the Norwich Inn before the season fills up.

One of the best parts about our location is that we’re centrally located for exploring. Depending on when you visit, you can head north or south in search of peak foliage, then come back to Norwich for dinner, a locally brewed beer, and a cozy night at the Inn.

🍂 Book your fall foliage stay with us today and come see Vermont at its most colorful.

Just like Appalachian Trail hikers, the monarch butterflies seem to know exactly when it’s time to return to Norwich.

Yesterday we spotted our first monarch of the season fluttering around the patio, and it quickly became the star of the afternoon. Guests paused their meals to watch as it floated from flower to flower, reminding us that some of the best moments of summer are the unexpected ones.

If you’re dining with us over the next few weeks, keep an eye out. You never know when one of these beautiful travelers might stop by to say hello. 🦋

✨ It’s the little things that make a big difference.

Over the past several weeks, Dale and Christian have been hard at work refinishing the tabletops in the Newhart Room, Pub, and Terrace. They sanded, stained, and refinished each one by hand, and the results speak for themselves.

Projects like this often happen behind the scenes, but they’re all part of making sure the Norwich Inn is looking its best for our guests.

The next time you’re in for dinner or a drink, take a look. We think they turned out pretty great.

Thanks, Dale and Christian, for another job well done!

💛 Two great ways to support local non-profits this week!

🥾 Tonight is our final Trail Tuesday of the season!

Stop in after your hike (or just come for dinner!) and enjoy a pint of There & Back Again Ale. A portion of the proceeds from every pint sold helps support the Upper Valley Trails Alliance and the incredible trail network we all enjoy throughout the year.

🏛️ Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1

Join us for a special Community Night benefiting the Norwich Grange. The Grange is in the final stretch of its fundraising campaign to complete its restoration and renovation project, and 10% of all food and beverage sales on Wednesday will be donated to help get them across the finish line.

Whether you join us tonight, tomorrow, or both, you’ll be supporting organizations that make our community such a special place to live and visit.

We hope to see you both days!
