High
on the crest of a hill overlooking the Battenkill Valley and Vermont's
Green Mountains, the Wilburton Inn was once the largest private estate
in Manchester Village. Everything about it is superlative: fabulous
location, ambiance and architecture. Since 1902, when the main house
was completed, there have only been 5 owners of the property. Each
has kept watch, holding fast to the standard of excellence. Take a
Virtual Tour of the Inn!
The
Wilburton Inn, year round, is the perfect Vermont wedding and vacation
destination.
The
winter season at the Wilburton Inn sparkles with exuberance. We celebrate
with enthusiasm all the holiday traditions. With pride and excitement
we polish, decorate, bake, carve and deck the halls. Holiday aromas
waft from the kitchen. The Wilburton Inn is peaceful and beautiful
in the snow. Be lazy and leisurely or get out there and throw a snowball.
Ski, skate, sled, or snowshoe, then return from your adventures to
warm yourself by our living room fireplace with a cup of tea or a
glass of wine. Our dining room is set with fine china, sparkling silver
and fresh bouquets. The menus include classical selections plus innovative
cuisine. All baking and desserts are made at the Inn. We use prime
fresh ingredients. Gourmet dinners are beautifully presented in an
old world ambiance that is the perfect backdrop for romance, relaxation
and camaraderie.
Summer
at the Wilburton Inn is easy; the sun sizzles with a cool mountain
breeze. Start the morning with our hearty country breakfast and a
jog, stroll or bike ride on River Road, a delightful country road.
At the Inn, we have tennis, swimming and volleyball. We are happy
to make golf reservations for you at the Gleneagles, Equinox Golf
Course. The front desk will also assist you with reservations for
summer theater and concerts.
In
the afternoon, hike the Green Mountains, shop Manchester or just relax
and lounge by the pool. At 4:30 PM tea is served, time to refresh
with lemonade and Inn baked cookies. As evening approaches, enjoy
the colorful gardens, impressive sculptures and the gazebo. There
is a spiritual satisfaction in this beauty. The Wilburton Inn nurtures
the arts and creativity. Complete the perfect summer day with cocktails
on the terrace followed by a glorious gourmet dinner in the handsome,
air conditioned billiard room. Cheers to the good life!
September
has peaks and hints of the brilliant autumn colors that will burst
full force in early October. The air is crisp and the sky is bright
blue. Berry pancakes and warm maple syrup are required for breakfast
and a favorite sweater is suggested for the evening. Guests come from
all over the world for Vermont's majestic foliage. Nestled by the
mountains and hovering over the valley, the Wilburton Inn is the most
magnificent setting to experience Autumn in Vermont.
The
Wilburton Inn is available for cocktail parties, family reunions,
romantic getaways and corporate events. We specialize in country weddings
and happy occasions.
