Pascolo is a rustic-chic Italian nook helping us celebrate Vermont Cheese Week by highlighting local cheesemakers with their hand-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, regional wines, smashing cocktails, and more.

While walk-ins are accepted, Cheese Week dining can get enthusiastic — reservations are never a bad idea!

Church Street Marketplace is a beautiful, alive shopping district in the heart of Burlington, Vermont. But only a few steps away is Waterfront Park running along the shores of Lake Champlain for an after-dinner stroll. If it’s Saturday, don’t miss the Burlington Farmer’s Market (with a vintage clothing mini-market in front of great MCM antique store Barge Canal).

Twenty minutes south is VCC member and cheesemaker Shelburne Farms, with cheesemaking viewing from 10am-4pm, as well as various tours and robust activities for families.
