About

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+.

This guided, 45-60 minute experience is a fantastic introduction to Maine's food and beverage landscape, history and culture. We recommend scheduling this class at the beginning of your time in Maine so you can take advantage of all you've learned during the rest of your trip. Stick around afterwards for personalized recommendations from your MTC host about wineries, breweries, markets, farms and other agritourism experiences to seek out while in Maine - customized to your interests and the regions you plan to visit while in Maine.
