Palette & Palate: An Evening of Maine Foods, Art & Craft Beer

Join the Saltwater Artists Gallery in their satellite gallery at Maine Tasting Center for a pop-up dinner experience that brings together art, craft beer, and classic Maine cuisine. Indulge in a four-course meal from Maine Tasting Center’s Culinary Director Liz Gross, each course inspired by a stunning artwork on display in the gallery. Certified Cicerone Will Laliberte® will pair each course with a thoughtfully selected Maine craft beer, enhancing every bite with a perfectly matched brew. Immerse yourself in the flavors of Maine, while celebrating Maine’s vibrant culture and culinary heritage through the lens of art – plus, learn a little about the principles of pairing food and beer from a true connoisseur!

Stay tuned – our event menu will be posted later in the summer.
