Although the changing of the leaves is as fickle as the winds that push balloons through the valley,
usually the foliage season ends by the fourth week in October.
Balloons fly year-round but the rush
of visitors tapers in November as Vermont settles in for a long snowy

The building was once a water-powered mill with an
electric generator within a sluice channel which  
architects saved for viewing when they remodeled the old building in the 70s.  While dining at the
Glassworks you overlook a
waterfall and a covered bridge and might just see a balloon lift off from
the green
and glide by as it follows the river.
The rolling hills and cleared fields make for such great hot air balloon country that Woodstock hosts the
annual
Quechee Balloon Festival in mid June bringing live music to the green, craft shows and a host of
micro-brews strutting their wares.  Vermont farm country presents few wires, no tall buildings, and lots of
room to land.  Morning flights are the best but during the summer the riders will have to be ready by 6 am.
