The Vermont Country Store Reviews

Great road trip. Scenic ride and yummy free samples and always buy a few snacks for the ride home.

My favorite store, great items, nostalgia at it's best

Great buys. I actually found Moxie by the case and toys I've not seen I'm decades

I love this store. I buy all my Christmas gifts here.

A unique shopping adventure with something for everyone. You'll be sure to find some tasty treats from fudge, pickles and cheese. Old fashion candy, old timey toys and decorations galore. I enjoy the bath and body products section for great smelling soaps!

Prices are steep but if you visit once a year like my family does, it doesn't hurt as bad.

So much fun to spend some time wandering around here. The items range from practical (outdoor gear, cleaning supplies) to whimsical (holiday ornaments, toys) to delicious (awesome cheese selection and specialty condiments, most of which can be sampled!). If you're going around lunch or dinner time, make a reservation at the restaurant next door, or stop by first to get on the list and then visit the store, since the restaurant fills up fast.

Both stores and the mail order are all wonderful! We go up there a few times a year. The products are such fun and such high quality. When I was a teen I was obsessed with Lemon Up shampoo, and couldn t believe it when I saw it in the store! This place has something for everyone, and makes for an excellent day trip for everyone living in New England.

Wow. I miss the traditional restaurant with waitresses, etc. Now it seems more like a fast food joint... You know, get in line to order food, pickup food, and walk to tables to eat. It's not the "destination" fo et shopping and a nice lunch like it used to be... But, that is my opinion... Judge for yourselves...

I go once a year always in the fall beautiful ride great shopping.

filled with nostalgia and everything else you didn't know you needed

Huge store that feels like you re walking through a different era. There s tons of items, food samples, and charm. In a quaint little town.

Wow, this is a very special general store and it is huge. You can walk from one room to another and see more and more magical items. I especially love all the old fashioned games that brought me back to my childhood. They had so many including Etch-A-Sketch, tin wind up toys, color-forms, etc. The delicious samples of jellies, cheeses, and dips is an added treat. They also have some beautiful clothing such as knit sweaters, hats, and mittens and so much more. You could spend hours strolling and reminiscing in this store and if you have a gift to buy for someone who you whom can t figure something out, come shop here!

I like the Vermont Country Store and visit whenever I come to Vermont. Prices on some items have gone up sharply but there are still bargains to be had. Be sure to check out the nook of the store where they sell fudge. Yum!

Have lots of unusual things you dont find other places

So much store, so little time. Huge store jam packed with unique finds. They carry a variety of clothing, kitchen items, furniture, food, pet productd, candy, toys, camping, personal stuff and household things. Too numerous to remember it all. Worth a visit

So many memories and different things to look at. The cheese selection is amazing

Fantastic store! It is full of wonderful food and specialty items. You can easily spend an hour or more in here!

Always quaint and certainly takes one back to the good old days (except for the modern day high prices).

On a spectrum between small cozy homey gift store and whole foods, this is somewhat on the way to the latter. Many non-food items are maid elsewhere, many food items would have enormous amount of sugar of them. Prices are sometimes exuberant and the quality can be good or can be merely barely ok.
Also they are doing good and donate to local causes. The stuff is passionate and excited about the place and the work they do. IFor sure, it's worth one visit.

It's like stepping back in time. The layout has great flow, lots of items that you cannot find anywhere else. And the variety of specialty foods is outstanding.

Nice place to stop if your on Rt 100 north they prices are average and they have a great selection of merchandise even beer and wine

Great place friendly employees something for everybody

Old fashioned candy. Small but quality toy section. Big soaps & salves & perfume section. Nice $$$ clothes. Restaurant.

Definitely suggest you go at least once. It's a very cute store, with lots of little things and treats to get for yourself or as gifts. Their cheeses are delicious, as are their chocolates and truffles. Come hungry!

Sinfully nostalgic. Just worth the 4 hour drive, especially with the parents and kids. Have lunch there and bring a lot of $$. Keep your head but go crazy. Know what I mean?

A trip down memory lane, I love this store. Do yourself a favor, and visit

Great destination. A bit pricey but all the oldies and goodies. Love it here at fall foliage time

Vermont charm and quirk all under multiple roofs. Dogs are allowed inside which is very cool and super helpful.

It was awesome! Tons and tons of stuff to explore.

What an awesome store this is. A lot of cool unique things and the sweets are so good. Left as a very very happy person

Selection is great for long forgotten items. Wonderful to browse and sample. Prices are high so dont be shocked. All in all would return.

I've been coming here almost yearly since I was 13, 23 years ago. Every time I go I expect it to get old, and yet it never does. The free samples of dozens of cheeses, dips, spreads, and fudges is worth the trip. There's a huge selection of penny candy and much fancier confections by the pound. It's probably also the only place where you can still try on your bloomers before you buy them (I'm guessing). They specialize in old fashioned products that are hard to find anywhere else, including toys.

Great store. And has a lot to offer. Brings back memories of things from childhood.

Average tourist store. Mast General Store in North Carolina is much better.
The maple syrup samples were delicious.

Huge store, and lots of samples! A must stop for any tourist! Lots of candy for the kids too!

Unique shopping experience with food samples and old time games. Quality clothing.

Fun place to visit, but pricey! They do have a clearance room.

Always love visiting this wonderful place ! Something new to find every time.

Awesome place! Great for tourists. Everything is great quality, but you pay for it. Check out the catalogue for what types of stuff they sell. Fudge and cheeses are incredible. For Vermonters, 10% off on Tuesdays. Check out the sale section upstairs.

Nice enough place with old time toys and candy. Other items as well that are made in VT.

I could spend hours here. So many choices, you must go. It's worth planning a trip to here.

Very easy to spend a couple of hours here. Dogs are welcome too!

Amazing! Loved shopping here. Friendly & helpful staff

What country store in Weston what can I say you walk in and the first thing does is Nostalgia brings you right back to your childhood with Penny candies and you can smell the fudgy Wako that a large assortment of fudge they have toys that were from the the fifties and sixties hit the duplicate toys of what they were but the store has a lot of this down here they have pictures of the family that got all Vermont and it just keeps on going and going looks like a small little stove for the front and just goes back and back and back one of my favorite thing was the Cheese room they have a wide assortment of different cheeses from all over and then Vermont maple syrup I did not know how many different types of maple syrup the was that went to the Vermont Country Store and sampled them

Always fun to shop here, lots of interesting products for the holidays.

Seriously fun place to browse and shop in! Had a great time. Spent at least 2 hours just browsing then shopped!

Meh... tourist trappy by my thinking.

Lots of assorted stuff... some overpriced like $10 refrigerator magnets... tour buses and crowds even on a Thursday noon-ish visit. I doubt it is patronized by locals. But perhaps a good place to satisfy your curiosity.

They have everything to help you finish your holiday shopping! And a few things to treat yourself with.

You seen one country store you seen them all but they have great free samples of jellies and cheeses good ice cream too

This was a fun place. They said when we entered, if we don't have it you don't need it. They were right.

Lots of fun stuff here. A bit touristy, but what the heck.

A fantastic throw back to simpler times with all things past and present under one roof. Coupled with a nice countryside ride through Vermont!

This place is always busy. So many toys from the past. The have wonderful food samples and I always end up buying more than I intended to. Lots of kitchen stuff too.

Awesome place to see long ago forgotten products and new things. We love this store and go every year.

The store really has Vermont vibe and majority of items there are made in Vermont. We tasted many maple syrup types and the price for them was good. The store also have a big variety of locally made cheese which is very delicious but pricy. We also enjoyed tasting of local fudge ( several varieties). Really worth to stop buy to get a local gift or to buy something for yourself or just for tasting! Very lovely atmosphere!

Was it overpriced? Sure. But it was also incredible. Lot of great things to looks at and enjoy. Ended up spending 2 hours inside. Got crowded when the tour buses showed up too.

This place is a Vermont institution. They have transformed quaint Vermont country style into a financial Emporium. The store has a lot of unique and nostalgic items that before the era of Amazon, you would have trouble finding. Nowadays, however, you can likely find them cheaper elsewhere. The place is worth a visit for the atmosphere and food samples alone, as is the small but charming town of Weston where the store is located.

This place offered samples of various food items as well as other selectons. And not just a few. The shelves were stocked to almost overloaded. The items reflected some of the old time staples of eras past. For an old guy like me it was like a walk down history lane. Youngsters also enjoyed the store because of the diversity of the products offered. I'm sure we will go back again. Good job.

Hasn't changed a bit since I was last there, maybe 20 years or more ago. We spent 3 hours straight there, without stopping for a bite to eat and had no idea we were there for so long. It was tough not to buy out the whole store, there are just so many amazing options and memories from when I was a kid. We'll be back!
