Continuing over a three decade's long tradition, the 2023 Shires’ Holiday Inn Tours, coordinated by the Manchester Business Association & The Shires of Southwestern Vermont, invites you to join us on Saturday, December 2 and/or Saturday, December 9 to take self-guided tours of some of the best lodging establishments in Vermont.

18 Shires lodging properties including historic hotels, quaint inns, charming B & B’s and lodges, will open their doors from 11am – 3pm each Saturday to welcome folks from near and far. This popular event provides our lodging partners the opportunity to showcase their unique properties, while those visiting will enjoy the festive holiday atmosphere, taste a local treat and sip al local beverage. Tis the season for giving and it couldn’t be a better time to help those in need, as each ticket sold makes an impact on food insecurity.

Proceeds from ticket sales will once again be presented to the Manchester Community Food Cupboard, the Arlington Food Shelf, and Bennington Meals on Wheels.

The participating lodging partners are:

Bennington - South Shire Inn, The Four Chimneys Inn

Arlington - Rockwell’s Retreat (12/9 only), West Mountain Inn, The Arlington Inn (12/2 only),
