Cabot Creamery Quechee Store

This place is awesome. It has that wooden rustic New England feel. They sell many local favorites such as real maple syrup and various jams and food. However, it does remind me of Costco in that they have sampling stations everywhere, from maple syrup to cheese, popcorn, and dips. I was starving so took a few bites. The cheese selection is especially impressive. I was going back to New York after this visit so didn’t want to bring anything back, but if I lived in the area, I definitely would have bought the spicy habenero cheese and a jug of maple syrup!

This place just kills it. It’s now a stop every single time I visit my in-​laws because how could I ever turn away the cheese samples?! This store has 30+ samples of cheese, cheese spread, dips, crackers, syrup, popcorn, etc. just sitting out for the eating, and you can walk around and eat them all (a few times over) without shame. The Cabot and Adirondack cheeses are my main draw – it’s almost all cheddar varieties and it’s almost all delicious. This place is a good pit stop for all things New England (mostly Vermont), and I’m impressed at how fairly priced things are. It’s also attached to an antique store which you can browse if that’s your thing. The employees provide great customer service and the sample area never runs empty. If you love cheddar cheese, this place is an absolute must stop.

Every variety of Cabot cheese, in every form (block, powder, spread, spray, etc). Great selection of crackers to go with your cheese, and samples as far as the eye can see. SO MUCH CHEESE FOR FREE. Plus creepy antiques downstairs, kitch to the right and left and a haunted diner next door (see my review).
Store also has good gifty things, including tons of maple syrup.

Superb. Awesome. Delish… This amazing place is steps away from the Quechee Gorge area, close to the charming town of Woodstock and on the way to Killington Mountain. I went into the Cabot Creamery store in Cabot VT years ago on a bicycling tour of Vermont and it left some wonderfully indelible memories in my mind.
This store has more variety as it carries a large selection of many other tourist-​related items, but… Oh my God the Cheese… The Cheese… The Cheese… A table stocked with at least two dozen samples of some of the most aromatic and tasty cheeses ever. And the chocolates… Oh My God the chocolates… And the Maple Syrup… And chocolate-​covered maple syrup truffles… And just in case for a picnic, the wine selection is spectacular.
We got a number of cheeses for the post-​hike at the Quechee Gorge, a stack of cheese for home, and enough chocolate to last a month.
Friendly service, easy to find, and moderately priced.

Simply amazing! I love this place and everything it has to offer! You can sample all of their cheeses and spreads! They must have 40 different kinds of cheese, maybe more. Fabulous, smooth, and unique cheese that melts in your mouth. Must try!!!
Inside the store they also offer a wine sampling! All wines are local, which is truly key! This is a wonderful thing to offer in a store. How can you go wrong with cheese and wine!!! ;)
Definitely stop in here! The store is huge with everything «Vermont» inside the building!
Love, love, love!

I love this store as you can try all the Cabot cheese and dairy products your heart desires along with maple syrup, crackers, and other goodies. You can have a meal or at minimum a hearty snack if you stop here. Plus, you can buy all sorts of Vermont specific goodies here such as cheeses (not just Cabot), beverages, cured meats, and trinkets here. The store also connects to other stores such as antiques downstairs, a country store, and other places. It’s worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Lots of samples: mostly cheese but also some potato chips, popcorn, and maple syrup. Nice selection of items.

Free cheese. Everywhere. There is so much free cheese.
I’m not saying it’s the best cheese in the world, but it’s free and there’s a lot of it.
The more aged cheddars are the best, and the standout was the horseradish. Awesome combo.
Plus there’s a model train in the basement!

Went to the Cabot creamery a few years ago. My favorite part of the tour was getting to taste test ALL of the different cheeses, dips and yogurts. Well this is the closest experience you can get to the creamery without having to go there.
They also havr some maple syrups, dips and spreads to try out as well. They carry a ton of cheeses, and a good amount of the rare Cabot cheeses that I can never find down in Boston. They also carry a lot of maple products, jams, butters, honey and sauces.
My husband and I picked up two new cheeses we have never seen before (artisan and garlic) and can’t wait to enjoy them. The staff was super friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to come back again and discover more Vermont/​New Hampshire local foods.

More than just cheese: Free cheese. Free good cheese. Sharp, extra sharp, seriously sharp, because Vermonters are smart enough to go seriously sharp. My friend and I were on our way to view Quechee Gorge and eat lunch, and after all the samples at this place lunch never happened. You’ll get maple and apple products too. I grew up in Vermont and I became an instant tourist in my own home state once I walked into this place.

We all ate our way through this store. A lot of great cheese that I can’t get from Cabot here in NJ. Got some good wine as well.

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t like free things? If you’re visiting the Quechee gorge, then definitely swing by for a little R&R. There are over 20 types of cheeses to sample, and all the delicious crackers you can sink your teeth into. I’m not even that big of a cheese fanatic, and I enjoyed the free display of tasty goodness.
The prices for the cheese is… well, not really that cheap, but it was fun for the all-​u-​can-​eat yumminess, lol.

I’m no cheese expert, but I loved eating my way through this small shop. Perfect road-​trip pit stop!
You can help yourself to samples of: about 20 cheeses (bacon, herb, buffalo, etc.), spreads and dips, local potato chips, kettle corn, and maple syrup. You can even purchase blocks of Cabot that you wouldn’t find in a regular supermarket.
The store was clean, and the samples table was surprisingly sanitary considering the heavy traffic. Plus, you can stock up even if you’re a hike away — the counter sold ice packs to keep cheese chilly on the ride home!
Great place to check out, especially considering it’s connected to an antique mall.

I love cheeese, and the 20 or so samples of cheese this place provided! I loved the sharpest/​sharper/​sharp cheddars (yes they had all 3), hot buffalo wings, jabanero, etcc. They have some spreads you can put on crackers to try, as well.
It’s also a good resting point for any road trip, since they have restrooms available too, fyi!

This is definitely the place to go for cheese in the area. They have a great selection of the more rare and artisan Cabot variety cheeses, as well as a few more locally produced ones as well. Aside from that, there’s plenty of other Vermont gifts in the store, anything from maple syrup to locally produced bagel chips.
Definitely an enjoyable place to stop and get a few food gifts and souvenirs.

You can’t go wrong here. Great VT cheese to try (bacon cheese!) and you can’t help drift into the connecting Toy museum and antique mall and Vermont Spirits down the way. Great friendly service and great local wines too!

FREE CHEESE! did you hear that? yeah. free. totally free.
We went on a Saturday morning when with the crowd it wasn’t so noticeable that we were lingering around the table for a good 45 minutes… okay an hour. I don’t think they would have cared otherwise anyway. The table had around 20 different cheeses to sample, and not just the kind you grab with a toothpick, oh no, they’re way too classy for just that. They also had samples of spreadable cheese and dip! with crackers and chips! Think I’m done, oh wait, there’s more! There was also free samples of delicious popcorn, and free samples of a dip by another company with pretzels. My favorite was the habanero kind. We left full. really full.
We did the $ 2 wine tasting which was a lot of fun, the girl really knew her wine and I agree with other Unilocalers, the girl who does the tasting is definitely not the normal boring type who just pours wine and then looks at you intimidatingly to buy some wine.
Upstairs is the toy museum which is also a lot of fun. Upstairs they also sell some unbelievable adorable children clothing, high quality fabrics and quality made at some decent prices.
On our way out we picked up some small maple treats and some chocolates which didn’t last long. We liked that they sell individual high quality chocolates, we were able to try a bunch for a decent price.

Great store. Great cheese. Great spreads. Great syrups. Great wine. Lots of samples. There’s about 15 different cheese samples and all are delicious. They also have a few maple syrup and spreads to sample. The wine tasting is only $ 2 and I think I liked every wine, which never happens. I was suckered into buying two bottles because they were so good. And the girl pouring our wine was cool which made it more enjoyable than the usual type of too serious and «too professional» person most places have.

This place was very cool… I’ve driven by it lots of times and finally decided to stop. They have a ton of cheese to sample and all of it is pretty good.
The area is cool too… there’s a few shops in the same area and it’s all within walking distance to the gorge.
Also try to check out the distillery (vodka made from maple sugar and milk sugar).

TONS of samples, a million different Cabot products to bring home. Prices are good and the staff are great. Awesome!
