15 Best Things to Do in Portland, Maine, From Seafood Tours to Island Day Trips | Condé Nast Traveler
"The flagship among all of Maine Day Ventures’s (formerly Maine Foodie Tours) offerings is this food tour that spotlights the ever-changing group of eateries and breweries that have helped put Portland ’s working waterfront area on the map. Expect to sample everything from fresh lobster rolls to local craft beer, Maine crabmeat maki rolls, potato donuts (from Holy Donut ), and creative superfood smoothies (at Blake Orchard). Some of the included stops are expected (you simply can’t tour in Old Port without a few spoonfuls of chowder) and others surprising (chocolate truffles made from Aroostook County potatoes, for example). Above all, the storytelling and interactions are solid; guides do a good job of providing wide-ranging context for how foods are made and how they fit into the culture of the city." - Alexandra Hall
