Step inside North America's last remaining stone-ground mustard mill, operating since 1900 on the Eastport waterfront. A private mill tour reveals the Victorian cold-stone grinding process — still unchanged — and ends with an exclusive tasting of rare, small-batch varietals unavailable elsewhere.
What to expect
The mill's 120-year-old stone grinders still turn on the original waterfront floor, and watching whole mustard seeds transform into smooth condiment feels like genuine alchemy. Your guide explains the cold-stone method that preserves flavor compounds destroyed by heat processing. The tasting room showcases dozens of flavors — from Maine blueberry to horseradish — and the mill store carries signed mill-bottled vintages ideal as luxury gifts.
