A very busy Labor Day weekend is over and summer is slowly coming to an end. With beautiful sunny days ahead of us you would almost forget that the season is changing, but the cooler nights are suggesting the autumn is imminent. Although most of the summer visitors are heading home where work and school are awaiting, Camden Harbour Inn stays busy with people visiting the beautiful Mid Coast. This is my personal favorite time of the year - the light is amazing, the sunsets breathtaking and the temperature so unbelievable pleasant. This si the best time to enjoy a crisp white wine and some oysters or a salad at lunch and on a crisp night a wonderful Boeuf Bourguignon with a glass of a full bodies red wine from our cellars. Fresh local products, simple preparations and enjoying it with great company is what makes life beautiful. As said at Camden Harbour Inn we stay busy! Not only with guests visiting us from all around the world, but also with several spectacular events we have lined up for the fall and winter, starting with Maine Fare next weekend. I am joining Sam Hayward at the Camden Yacht Club culinary event on Friday september 11 and on Saturday we host a “Scent Dinner” at Natalie’s restaurant. Together with New York Time perfume critic and best selling author Chandler Burr, we will create an eight course sensory meal, exploring how scent and flavor work together in food and in perfume. This second annual scent dinner was created for Maine Fare and enhances the falvors and scents found throughout Maine, prepared with local ingredients. Make sure you visit our chefs at the Maine Fare market Saturday at 2pm, where they will demonstrate some “tricks and trades” of our renowned kitchen. More culinary excitement is coming soon; in the mean while please visit our  websites frequently for updates and packages. For instance we have a great package available for the Maine Fare weekend including the scent dinner.

Culinary greetings from all of us at Natalie’s and the Camden Harbour Inn
