Visitors can also sample freshly stirred maple sugar, that "toothsome" taffy treat known locally as spotza, maple popped kettle corn, burnt sugar cake, and other maple treats.

Admission to the Maple Taste and Tour is FREE and is held in cooperation with the Somerset County Maple Producers Association.
With over 20 maple sugar sites on tour, there is plenty to fill a weekend (or two). Out of town guests can find a variety of hotels and amenities in Somerset.
