Camden, Maine Dining Packages
Midcoast Maine Foodie Experiences
We opened our fine dining bed and breakfast with epicurean experiences in mind. Understandably, we possess a passion for everything related to food and wine. Every day, we explore the Camden culinary scene in detail. Likewise, we enjoy visiting farms and farmers’ markets. Finally, we thrive on touring local food and wine producers.
Midcoast Maine is rich in regional food experiences. We know many of you share our passion as “foodies.” As a result, we are proud to offer this program.
Extraordinary Epicurean Experiences
The activities below are priced individually and are in addition to your room rate. Available only by advance reservation and offered nearly year-round.
Winery Tasting & Tour
Cellardoor Winery Tastings and Tour
Visit the Cellardoor Winery during your stay at our Camden bed and breakfast and enjoy their 1790 barn and farmhouse set on 68 acres. The vineyard is open 10 to 5 daily, mid-May through December. You are also invited to walk in their vineyards and enjoy a picnic in their gardens. Complimentary wine tastings are available daily and include one-on-one discussion about the winemaking process.
Wine Tour Package
We’ll send you off on your adventure with a picnic blanket, a gourmet picnic backpack (yours to keep) filled with a large gourmet picnic for two and a bottle of Cellardoor wine. Package price is $175 per couple.

Sugar House Tour
Sugar House Tour – Maple Syrup
Join Maine’s maple producers each spring as they celebrate Maine Maple. Here’s your chance to see firsthand how 40 gallons of maple sap is turned into just one gallon of that golden delight you pour over hot pancakes…or ice cream.
The trees are tapped and ready to produce sap in the beginning of March. The season can run up to 6 weeks. Two of the farms near us offer tours anytime during the “season” — and it usually lasts during the month of March and beyond.
Maine Maple Sunday is always the fourth Sunday in March — the day when sugar makers around the state open the doors of their sugarhouses for the public to join them in their rites of spring — making maple syrup.
Most sugarhouses offer free tastings and a live demonstration of how syrup is produced, from tap to table. Many offer a variety of other treats and activities, including syrup on pancakes or ice cream, sugarbush tours, sleigh or wagon rides and lots more. Many sugarhouses will arrange special tours and demonstrations for groups on other days as well. Contact numbers are below — call them yourselves or let us call them to make your arrangements.
