The 10 Best Food & Drink in New Hampshire, United States
If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

Highly recommend the Meet the Winemaker tour. I am not a huge wine lover so just a tasting would not interest me. Really enjoyed learning about the wine making process. Nathan made sure everyone had fin and was very accommodating in answering questions.

My wife, Golden Retriever, and I entered the back fields and greenhouses on a beautiful late August afternoon. Several items caught our attention. First, they had several large piles where they were doing mulching. They were obviously using heavy equipment to move and turn the tall piles. Such piles can achieve much higher temperatures than a home mulch pile and allow the mulching of a much wider selection of organic matter. Secondly, in one of their greenhouses, they were growing cherry tomatoes on a single strong cord, up to an estimated 8 feet. A worker there told me that I could use the same technique for growing cucumbers. I would consider trying this space-saving method of growing cherry tomatoes and cucumbers next year. Thirdly, they had a lot of instructional material about growing cover crops (winter rye, clover), which I would like to do this fall.
6. Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tours

We really enjoyed this tour. The tour of the brewery itself went quickly and wasn't particularly interesting though we did learn about the history of Anheuser-Busch company and enjoy walking through their facilities briefly. Then we went to the tasting room and waited in a line and were given a choice of 10-12 beers (many were specialty beers, similar to a craft beer experience, and not just a lineup of basic products most consumers would associate with this brand). We enjoyed sipping our beers and then made our way out to the gift shop. We enjoyed the gift shop a lot with a variety of gifts for lots of people in your life as well as souvenirs to take home from your experience. Finally we visited the clydesdale horses. We had seen some of them all hooked up to a carriage pulling a couple employees around when we arrived. They are so big and beautiful. We've seen them in parades before but today we got to see them up close, pulling a carriage, being washed and groomed, munching hay in their personalized stalls, and socializing together in the field. It was a really nice day and we enjoyed looking around for a couple hours as a pit stop on a road trip. Free tour Free parking

Owners Nik & Kirsten opened for business in 1998. Fueled by a passion for quality beer and the desire to live the White Mountain lifestyle to its fullest; taking advantage of, but never taking for granted, the spectacular area we call home. Tuckerman Brewing Co is now one of the longest-running owner-operated breweries in the state.

We toured Flag Hill after the grapes had been harvested, but it was still a beautiful tour and our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. After the tour, we enjoyed a "tasting" of several wines along with wonderful cheeses, crackers & olives. There is a very large selection of wines for sale. It was a beautiful day!

Looking for something different to do, we decided to try making our own champagne at IncrediBREW. Erik was extremely helpful in helping us decide which wine to make into champagne and explaining the process involved. After sampling a few different wines, we finally decided on one. We mixed up the batch and have to wait six weeks for fermentation and filtering. Then we get to bottle and label them. We are looking forward to that. If you are looking for something fun to do, I highly recommend making your own beer, soda or wine at IncrediBREW.
