"Set on a 75‑acre seaside property of gardens, forest trails, an apple orchard, and a mushroom patch, this five‑star destination is best known for an immersive farm‑to‑table evening that begins with a guided farm tour and cocktails, moves to an oyster hour with multiple live‑fire stations, and culminates in a multicourse feast featuring seafood chowder, heritage‑grain bread, vegetable and meat courses, and a dessert finale with s'mores by the fire." - Amanda Gabriele
"Tourism season is bread and butter for providers of hospitality on Prince Edward Island. Last summer, the island’s marquee attraction for hungry locals and visitors — TV-star chef Michael Smith’s Inn at Bay Fortune and Inn at Fortune Bridge — invited islanders to pop in and enjoy their Farm-to-Picnic baskets, packed with goodies made from the bounty of local producers."
"It’s every bit as spectacular as its name. FireWorks Feast is part performance, lecture and walking tour—and all gourmet extravaganza."
"Housed in a handsome 1913 wood-shingled building that once served as an artist colony summer home and later belonged to notable owners, this 15-room retreat blends modern furnishings with country antiques and island artwork, with many rooms featuring wood-burning fireplaces. Celebrity chef proprietorship emphasizes open-fire cooking in a destination restaurant where guests dine communally at the nightly FireWorks Feast—a multicourse celebration of local ingredients." - Barbara Peck
"Housed in an early 20th‑century summer home turned 17‑room inn, this waterside property was renovated in 2015 and now offers a modern, communal take on local cuisine anchored by the FireWorks Feast—an open‑flame dinner that begins with a farm tour and includes an all‑you‑can‑eat oyster happy hour. Communal tables showcase farm greens and grains in inventive preparations (from chowders sprinkled with beach wort to other seasonal dishes), and the meal’s convivial rituals, including a sous‑chef’s toast that acknowledges local fishers and the island’s cultural flags, reinforce a strong sense of place and provenance." - ByChantal Martineau
