Gonna be up in Waitsfield/Warren with my wife for the weekend and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for things we should do or where to eat. We're primarily gonna be relaxing, and were thinking about a round of disc golf at Sugarbush. The course at the top of the lift looks cool.
Since it looks as though it might rain, any suggestions for indoor activities? I think we also want to go apple picking if there's an orchard nearby (though I think it's it's early in the season still).
We're staying at the White Horse Inn, if that matters.

The upper disc golf course is very hard and very physically demanding. I played it a few weeks ago and lost all 3 disc I brought with me.
You might consider the lower course first. We will give you all the info when you come into the shop in Gatehouse.
For places to eat the original American Flatbread pizza place is a good one. Common Man and Timbers are kinda expensive but very good.
For a rainy day you should drive up and take the tour at Ben & Jerrys and check out the Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Several art galleries are in the area, a ride up to Montpelier and then up to Morse Farm for a maple creamee.
Just saw that the White Horse is up for sale, BTW they just painted it red, if you like the place you can buy it....
The Mad River Valley Craft Fair is about 5 miles from WHI and it's under a big tent if it rains, with some outside vendors as well. It's the 40th anniversary, so the first 40 people get in free! (but tickets are just a few bucks in any case.)
SHARC at Sugarbush has indoor tennis and pools, and a rock climbing wall that's pretty fun.
The Vermont Festival of the Arts exhibits at Big Red Barn (Flatbread) and the Photo Show in the Round Barn, and at other galleries and shops around town have an eclectic mix of art!
Green Mountain Stage Race has 500-700 elite racers biking up the Appalachian Gap this weekend, and can be fun to watch!

How difficult is the lower course? I have a feeling my wife wouldn't like anything physically demanding.
If you are up for a drive (I think you said you are into beer!) , you could go check out Rock art brewery in Morristown or Otter Creek in Middlebury (haven't checked out either myself). I think you were the one who mentioned the "passport" actually so you know all about that! Lawson's is actually IN Warren but they do not do tours.
I am volunteering at the stage race on Sunday, and we'll be up tomorrow AM. We are going to try to make it to the Waitsfield farmers market that is 10am-1pm right in the center of town.
We have a 1 month old with us so wondering where to eat that is pretty casual but good?? American Flatbread is always on the list (we have mastered the wait by showing up at 4pm to put our name on the list) as is Easy Street for lunch. Haven't tried their breakfast yet.
We wanted to try the Farmers diner on the way home.
The lower(base course) entails alittle bit of hiking but not nearly as much as the peak course. Everyone has alot of fun playing it.
Being a tourist area all the restaurants are family friendly. The Hyde-Away is a fun place. The deli at the Warren Store makes great sandwiches and their breakfast burritos are legendary. It's also the only place you can buy Lawson's beer if they are not sold out. He recently won an international beer contest, it's very tasty stuff.
As mentioned the craft fair is happening this weekend and the Farmers Market in Waitsfield is Sat morning. If you like art the two shows are great plus I have some of my work at the Green Mountain Photography Show in the Round Barn.
The Famers Diner in Barre is awesome.
I'm in the Adventure Gear Shop all weekend so stop in and say hi.
