Flavors of Maine

Product description

Blueberries, seaweed, potatoes, craft beer and so much more! Take your tastebuds on a trip around the state and explore the ingredients and flavors that make Maine so special. Participants will be introduced to some of Maine's most iconic food and drink industries and hear the stories of local farmers, fishermen and other producers - while sampling delicious products that represent them!

Your Maine Tasting Center guide will walk you through a snack-sized tasting menu of local products that represent industries like wild blueberries, maple syrup, heritage grains & beans, artisanal cheese, potatoes, and aquaculture. Feeling thirsty? A curated local beverage flight (mead, craft beer, wine) designed to pair with the tasting menu is available for purchase on-site for guests ages 21+.
