Taste your way through Portland's celebrated Old Port dining scene — raw oysters plucked from Maine's cold waters, lobster rolls at legendary shacks, artisan cheesemakers, and locally crafted ales — guided by a passionate local food expert.
What to expect
Wander the historic brick-lined streets of the Old Port district with a local culinary insider who curates each stop for quality and authenticity. Slurp freshly shucked oysters at a storied fishmonger, crack into a butter-drenched lobster roll at a landmark waterfront spot, and sample small-batch Maine craft beers paired with local cheeses. The tour is unhurried — savoring conversation with producers and artisans is part of the experience. You'll leave with a genuine sense of why Portland, Maine has become one of America's great food cities.
