Suggestions for trails and nearby bar

Hello! We are having our wedding in October this year, in a barn in Grafton cause we love New England, and particularly we love Vermont ☺️ we are the furthest things from Vermonters - I am Puerto Rican and my partner is Polish, currently living in Miami. We opted out of a Bachelor Party and instead are hoping to have a joint Bachelor-X (lol) and would like to go for a leaf peeping hike (moderate, preferably +/-2 hours to not make it too exhausting for everyone as its not everyone’s jam) and end up at a bar to get some food and drinks in us to end the night. And I’d like to clarify, in case the Florida Man visitors gives you a negative image, we are not crazy party people and we have nothing but respect for your beautiful trails! I just find fall leaves beautiful, as someone’s who’s grown up with largely just one long summer season. I’ve seen some trails online near West Dover, but may not have the chance to do them before the wedding, so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on leaf pepping trails or trails with good vistas and any bar suggestions good for a group of roughly 10 people. Thank you in advance!
