Stowe is indeed within proximity of several charming wineries that offer a variety of enticing wine experiences. One such place is the Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits located in Cambridge, offering a wide array of wines including fruit wines, cream liqueurs, and even Vermont's first ice cider. A little further afield, in Jeffersonville, you'll find the Smugglers' Notch Distillery. Though known primarily for their spirits, they also produce a range of wines including a noteworthy gin barrel aged Chardonnay. Another lovely winery to visit is the Stowe Cider tasting room located in the heart of Stowe, where you can sample a wide variety of locally made ciders, many of which have a wine-like character.
