Kind of short notice for a detailed answer but here are some thoughts. Contact Local Motion or the Vt Bike & Pedestrian Coalition for good bike maps. Local Motion has run tours, VT to Montreal, so they must have good route ideas.
When you get to L. Champlain in Addison Co. stay off 116 and instead follow Lake Rd. On Grand Isle, avoid Rt 2 as much as possible (windy& busy) and instead follow West Lake Drive, then East Lake Drive. Do stop at Hero's Welcome in N. Hero for lunch. I don't live far from the lake but mostly bike the back roads of Franklin Co. Great scenery, and very little traffic, but away from the lake. I'm on my way home from biking the Erie Canal in western NY, but will try to think some more about this. What's your current thinking?
