A Weekend in Burlington, Vermont: Three Day Itinerary - Start your morning with a bike ride along the 8-mile Burlington Bike Path, that stretches along Lake Champlain with nothing short of postcard views. (Pro tip: check with your hotel to see if they have bikes you can rent for free!) For lunch, hop in the car and drive about 30 minutes to the Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury. In the fall, sip fresh-pressed cider, watch donuts be made, and pick up a “Made in Vermont” souvenir. In the spring, make sure to grab a bottle of homemade Vermont maple syrup, which I believe is the best in New England. The on-site cafe has numerous sandwiches, snacks, and entrees for a cozy lunch filled with locally sourced ingredients. Just down the road from Cold Hollow Cider Mill is the Ben & Jerry’s Factory. Take a tour (only $6 per person, going every 30 minutes), sample exclusive flavors, and walk up the hill to the famous Flavor Graveyard. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see some ice cream production in real time. Back in Burlington, unwind with dinner and a pint at the Vermont Pub and Brewery, which is one of the state’s first craft breweries, and considered by locals to be one of its best. https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/2wj102mjhfwp9kywf2pd04vls5n111 monthly 0.5 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/6e5ef9b0-df92-47b3-95c1-3977d8eed145/96100750-1-fr.png.webp Blog | Travel by Emily - Thanksgiving Wine Pairings From The World’s Most Famous Wine Regions - Riesling Riesling is a very versatile grape that is made into both sweet and dry bottles. For Thanksgiving, lean towards the more dry side. The fruitiness and acidity will help cleanse your palate as you go for seconds of your favorite dishes, like sweet potatoes or stuffing. For the dry rieslings, you should book a flight to the Mosel Valley in Germany. This is Germany’s crown jewel for riesling, with some of the best bone-dry bottles. A river cruise is the most scenic way to explore the Mosel Valley, stopping in small towns and tasting rooms along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/3fb19dc1-a75c-4630-abad-64bdad8b636d/tempImageoKNNnj.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Thanksgiving Wine Pairings From The World’s Most Famous Wine Regions - Hi, I’m Emily!

Sauvignon Blanc will complement just about everything around the Thanksgiving dinner table. The acidity balances the richness of heavy dishes like gravy and mashed potatoes, and its grassy undertones act as a natural pairing for stuffing and turkey. For the perfect bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, you’ll want to head down under to Marlborough, New Zealand. If you go in late summer or fall (February through April in New Zealand), you can visit any of the many family-run wineries just in time for harvest season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/ce121db5-8f24-4632-9d44-c20b46476130/130390750-1-fr.png.webp Blog | Travel by Emily - Thanksgiving Wine Pairings From The World’s Most Famous Wine Regions - Pinot Noir Pinot Noir is probably the most well-rounded bottle you can show up with on Thanksgiving. It’s full of red fruit flavors and earthy undertones that will stand up to the table’s most hearty dishes without overpowering the lighter ones. Your favorite Pinot Noir can be found in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Pinot Noir thrives in Oregon’s cool climate, and here you’ll taste elegant wines with red berry, earthy, and floral notes. This destination combines wild-class wine with a relaxed and outdoorsy vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/7e7d0307-9715-4092-a131-d29afc57752d/2126243043-1-fr.png.webp Blog | Travel by Emily - Thanksgiving Wine Pairings From The World’s Most Famous Wine Regions - Brunello di Montalcino For a more elevated bottle, look for a Brunello di Montalcino. Brunello is both rich and medium bodied at the same time. It has less tannins (what causes the wine to feel heavy in your mouth) than a Cabernet Sauvignon and high acidity. It won’t overwhelm your palate, so you can still enjoy Thanksgiving’s lighter foods, like those tasty veggies. Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown around the hilltop town of Montalcino in Italy. Less than an hour’s drive from Siena, you’ll get a slower and less touristy experience compared to Chianti. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1762973286687-UWZM9TT22T6J6Q37IATY/unsplash-image-H_Uu6LC83SU.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Thanksgiving Wine Pairings From The World’s Most Famous Wine Regions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/travel-insurance-101 monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/a-guide-to-european-travel-authorizations monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/what-to-do-when-you-want-to-travel-but-nobody-can-go-with-you monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/the-top-10-attractions-in-paris monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1746500234811-L5U1D4Z5U31LRF6QDCJL/unsplash-image-Ep-dbpILMAw.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - The Top 10 Attractions in Paris Notre Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, has stood on the Ȋle de la Cité since its completion in the 14th century.

It was constructed for the 1889 World’s Fair to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution by Gustave Eiffel. Its purpose was nothing more than a showpiece to demonstrate that France could build something taller than the world had ever seen before. Parisian locals originally called it an “Iron Monster,” and it was only built under the condition that it would be taken down after the World’s Fair, but it ended up being kept by popular demand. Today, the Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world, drawing millions of visitors annually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1746500842382-K7RSW1NGJZJYX5RP8DW7/unsplash-image-KX5ZQkluQ9U.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - The Top 10 Attractions in Paris The Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte to honor the French army’s victories, stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.

The Panthéon serves as a testament to the nation’s cultural and intellectual legacy, attracting visitors who seek to pay homage to its celebrated residents and admire its architecture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1746499942810-P5K5GX4KVJ7W6P018E2Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog | Travel by Emily - The Top 10 Attractions in Paris The Louvre Museum, formerly a royal palace, is the world’s largest and most visited museum, attracting travelers from around the globe.

There are few destinations in the world that are quite like it.

My favorite part of using travel rewards is their ability to stretch your vacation budget. By leveraging the rewards and features of travel credit cards, you can maximize your travel budget and unlock exciting opportunities. Here are some great examples: That hotel in the city center that would be soooooooo convenient, but is out of your budget? Maybe IHG points can offset the costs, or pay for it completely. That road trip through Sicily you’ve been dying to take, but rental cars are just so expensive? Chase and Capital One offer $300 annual travel credits. That vacation to England you want to take your spouse on to show them where your family came from? British Air has a free Travel Together Ticket. That solo trip to Bordeaux you’ve been wanting to take? Bilt is a transfer partner of Air France. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/0593aea7-423c-4278-b342-015b4249aadd/Image+6.jpeg Blog | Travel by Emily - Rewards Credit Cards For Any Traveler - ihg one rewards premier Best hotel-specific card. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/5fce5d0b-b75d-46e0-a499-dcbc8e788018/Image+1.jpeg Blog | Travel by Emily - Rewards Credit Cards For Any Traveler - Chase sapphire reserve Best point redemption rates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/911c2d83-0163-4245-976c-09d5bd9f8707/Image+5.jpeg Blog | Travel by Emily - Rewards Credit Cards For Any Traveler - bilt Earn points paying rent, without the transaction fee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/cf9feddc-4070-4a9e-944c-53546671e7dc/Image.jpeg Blog | Travel by Emily - Rewards Credit Cards For Any Traveler - chase sapphire Preferred Best all-around travel rewards card. https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/teaching-abroad-6-reasons-to-attend-a-job-fair-r87xn monthly 0.5 2024-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258594-954Y771RPIR16ZMHM7CQ/issjobfair.png Blog | Travel by Emily - Teaching Abroad: 6 Reasons to Attend a Job Fair - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258598-IBBZ73NYGMSMCE7NUQQ0/maxresdefault.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Teaching Abroad: 6 Reasons to Attend a Job Fair - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/hotel-home-or-hostel-m4bd4 monthly 0.5 2024-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258575-GS7P3J89RD0SLFO5BYPH/leonardo-2049941-room_with_terrace_view_S-750771.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Hotel, Home, or Hostel: Which is Best for You? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258586-HQID4JDF1MJZMU7SDA9X/Beige+and+White+Minimalist+Special+Discount+Instagram+Post.PNG Blog | Travel by Emily - Hotel, Home, or Hostel: Which is Best for You? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258579-OMRKS39OFP4959VMIJI1/airbnb-south-france-1200x900.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Hotel, Home, or Hostel: Which is Best for You? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258583-LT37NV8H2UZ2WN5QCBCB/yellowrome.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Hotel, Home, or Hostel: Which is Best for You? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/five-takeaways-from-my-dads-near-pickpocket-tr248 monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258546-NYT12T68ABQPY7PIKBF9/IMG-2555.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - 5 Takeaways From My Dad’s Near Pickpocket - Make it stand out Dad in Rome including a confident strut out of the Pantheon, layers in case he gets cold, and the guidebook in his cargo pocket for hands-free sightseeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258550-OZ7N1F99603TQ49HGUF8/IMG-2425.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - 5 Takeaways From My Dad’s Near Pickpocket - Make it stand out Gelato from La Romana, my favorite spot in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258536-6XM0H21XJ23CCQUGIG0V/IMG-5599.JPEG Blog | Travel by Emily - 5 Takeaways From My Dad’s Near Pickpocket - Make it stand out Dad’s birthday dinner in Rome, 12/26/22 https://www.travelxemily.com/blog/living-in-morocco-moving-and-first-impressions-tblk9 monthly 0.5 2023-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652471d160b7f322d3809667/1696887258509-0CO4U9G3UBOC71YUP22U/IMG-9493.jpg Blog | Travel by Emily - Living in Morocco: Moving and First Impressions - Make it stand out My apartment building for two years.
