Rainy Day Activities in the White Mountains

You might not be able to go apple picking in the rain, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy apples. Stop by the Rhythm Studio at the Atrium Wine Bar in the Lincoln Village Shops for a taste of what Rhythm Handcrafted Beverages has to offer. Pull up a chair to a barrel table in the light-filled cider studio and choose from a variety of crisp, refreshing ciders, all fermented naturally from locally sourced fruits. Choose the original hard apple cider, or ask for something different, like the blueberry hard apple cider, heirloom apple cider, hard blood orange cider or hard lemon-lime cider. There’s no extra flavoring in any of them, and label art features the work of local artists.

The day may be gray and rainy, but it’s all about the product of the sun at the Seven Birches Winery, located within the grand new Riverwalk Resort at Loon Mountain. Take a tour and see how locally sourced fruits and European grape varietals are transformed into wines of distinction. Chat with winemakers to see how the wines are handcrafted on-site. At the winery’s Tasting Room and Wine Bar, the staff will provide tasting notes, serve and discuss the wines. Over at the Lincoln Village Shops in the center of town, head to the Atrium Wine Bar and ask for a flight to sample a variety of wines. Grab a bite from a special selection of crackers, cheese, chorizo and chocolate.
