Foodie ALERT!
With its farmers, fishermen, and five-star chefs, cutting-edge
culinary artistry is nowMaine’s calling card—if food is the way
to your heart then make your way to Maine this year.
The aromas of fresh roasted coffee
and tangy hops accompany you as you
stroll throughout downtown Portland.
Succulent lobster—steamed with butter,
in a rich chowder or bisque, or packed in
a tender roll— awaits. Whether you come
primarily for the beautiful scenery or for
the fabulous food, you’ll enjoy both once
you arrive, often at the same time!
Farm-to-table, sustainable seafood,
community-supported agriculture—in
Maine these aren’t trends—they’re
traditions.
The New York Times
named
Maine “one of the best places to eat in
the Northeast” and
Bon Appetit
crowned
Portland “American’s Foodiest Small
Town,” but that’s just a taste of what’s on
tap. Five James Beard Award-winning
chefs and countless other talented food
artists have elevated this corner of the
country to an epicure’s dreamland.
Maine has an abundance of authentic
ingredients. Fishermen haul fresh
lobster and seafood to the docks every
day. Organic farms and dairies support
year-round farmers’ markets with locally
raised meats, vegetables, and herbs
bursting with natural flavor. Food festi-
vals celebrate classic Maine ingredients
like clams and blueberries, as well as
unique concoctions like Moxie and
whoopie pies.
Locally-made products are everywhere:
handcrafted cheese from Pineland
Farms’ cows; jams, sauces, and condi-
ments by specialty food prize-winner
Stonewall Kitchen; unusual flavors like
Dill Pickle and Lemon Chiffon from
Coastal Maine Popcorn Company.
Brewing and distilling give Maine’s
foodie culture a little extra sparkle with
craft beverages often including local
ingredients like blueberries, raspberries,
and potatoes.
You can’t walk down the street in
Portland without bumping into several
ways to treat your taste buds, which is
why Maine Foodie Tours now offers
culinary walking and trolley tours, so
you can sample delectable foods while
getting a behind-the-scenes look at the
craft makers and their industry. Maine
Beer Tours and the Maine Brew Bus will
drive you to sample drinks fromMaine’s
local breweries, distilleries and wineries.
Harvest on the Harbor basks in
Maine’s bounty with four days of food
and beverage tastings, dinners, and
events that showcase the sophistication
and talent that set the state’s culinary
