Vermont Cider Donut Trail

Explore the Vermont Apple Cider Donut Trail!

Do you travel for donuts? We do! We love apple season for many reasons, because we know it is actually apple cider donut season!

Apple cider donuts are the treat you get after doing the hard work to pick the best apples and if you enjoy them as much as we do, we've  got the trail for you!

Cider donuts are the best when eaten hot and fresh from the fryer. The best ones are crispy on the outside and are soft, light, and filled with the sweet flavor and spices that taste like Fall in Vermont.
