That's right – the beloved Vermont-based dessert maker is officially on the road, hitting seven cities across the U.S. through August and transforming local Scoop Shops into can't-miss dairy-free dreamlands.

Now through the end of the summer, Ben & Jerry's Creamy, Dreamy Non-Dairy Tour will be touching down in Tampa, Atlanta, Raleigh, Washington D.C., Boston, and the brand's home base of Burlington, Vermont. The tour is serving up an immersive dessert experience to celebrate the new creamier-than-ever oat-based Non-Dairy recipe.
