Shopping in and around Southern Vermont is a great way to find interesting, unique local finds, as well as some amazing deals on internationally recognized brands. Without even leaving the Taconic, you can explore a carefully-curated collection of memorable keepsakes, practical Vermont items, and luxury gifts at our own
Shop Taconic
boutique. This is not your typical hotel gift shop! The key word here is curated.
In the fall, you can have a great time walking up and down charming Depot Street exploring at
Manchester Designer Outlets
, featuring values on designer brands including Brooks Brothers, Johnston & Murphy, Marimekko, Le Creuset and so many more. Be sure to stop by the River Walk on the North side of Depot for some great photo ops!
After you make your way through the variety of outlet shops, you’ll find even more boutique shopping. Manchester area businesses offer intimate apparel at
Le Peche Lingerie
, and must-have antique home furnishings at
The Perfect Piece
. To see intricate needlework on hand-stitched lampshades, visit Vermont’s own “lampshade lady” in nearby Pawlet, at
Lake’s Lampshades
.
A visit to Manchester would not be complete without a stop in the sprawling yet cozy
Northshire Bookstore
, boasting multiple floors of books, keepsakes, gifts and souvenirs in an eclectic classic-Vermont setting. Warm up with a hot mug of coffee or tea in the adjacent
Spiral Press Café
.
