“My tastes are simple, I am easily satisfied with the best.”
— Winston Churchill
There’s nothing quite like a Maine lobster, fresh from the ocean, cooked up rich and sweet, whether boiled, in a stew, or on a toasted bun with butter.
We have dining and lodging options for all tastes ranging from simple and rustic to full-service experiences of a lifetime.
The wild blueberry is the official state fruit of Maine, and most certainly the folks of DownEast Acadia are “wild” for the dark blue gems.
Raise a glass to the brewers and vintners of DownEast Acadia. Seven breweries–in ten locations–plus four wineries span the region.
Imagine a rustic cabin and lodge set amidst Maine’s deep woods, a lake at your doorstep, the aroma of wood smoke in the air.
