Simon Pearce and Inn Victoria in Vermont

Less than a 30 minute drive from Vermont's most Romantic B&B (as rated by Yankee Magazine 2009), is a Simon Pearce glass blowing store, shop and restaurant.  Truly an experience to watch, the fine craftsmen and woman create beautiful glassware direct from the glass furnace to the table.  What a site to behold!

Penny and I enjoyed lunch from the balcony deck which overhangs the rivers' mill dam and falls.  Simon Pierce transformed this old architecturally perfect mill building into their Vermont home.  This building houses their museum, electrical generation equipment, factory, (I'd call it more of an artisan shop), and restaurant.  What a day!...and only 30 minutes from Inn Victoria!

Imagine a Southern Vermont getaway to tour two glass studios near Inn Victoria.  Tsuga Studios is located just three miles from our front door!  Nicholas Kekie is a glass artisan who's work is simply outstanding and incorporates colors in his work.  Follow this link to check his work out....simply fabulous!...oh, and the second picture below is a sample of Nicholas' work.
