Have you even been to Vermont if you didn’t take the factory tour at Ben & Jerry’s? At its flagship location in Waterbury (near Stowe), Ben & Jerry’s offers 30-minute guided tours that include a short movie on the company’s history, an overview of the production process, a look at the manufacturing area and an ice cream tasting. Of course, there’s also an on-site ice cream shop and gift shop, and especially charming are the photo ops and the Flavor Graveyard, where you can pay your respects to the “dearly de-pinted.” Previous visitors confirm it’s as touristy as it seems, but fun nonetheless
