Seaside Breezes, Sun-Drenched Days,
Hands-On Cookery and Gourmet Dining!

Come stroll the wide sandy beaches with spectacular views of the deep blue Atlantic as you explore the rugged coastline dotted with its network of tidal pools. You might savor the delicate taste of the best lobster caught right offshore and served dockside at one of the local establishments. This is the historic Kennebunks: a year-round destination filled with rich history, architecture and "Old Maine" charm.

The highlight of this unique culinary experience is a private cooking class (just your own party of 2 to 4 guests), which is held on the second afternoon of your stay, in the bright gourmet kitchen of a luxurious boutique Inn. You'll work alongside a top local chef to create your own scrumptious dinner, which will include fresh off the boat Maine lobster! If lobster is not your thing, no worries – with advance notice, our chefs are happy to accommodate special requests for shellfish-free, or even vegetarian meals. Whether you're a novice or experienced cook, you're sure to pick up some new tips, tricks or skills, and have a lot of fun in the process! Once your meal is prepared and beautifully plated, you'll retreat to the Inn's dining room with a bottle of wine to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

This package also includes a fabulous 5-star dinner at the famous White Barn Inn on the first evening of your stay. A two-course full service breakfast is included each morning, and guests will take home a special gift from the Inn.
