Kennebunkport’s elite chefs partner with regionally, nationally and internationally known artists to host spectacular dinners featuring multi-course menus paired with wine. The kicker is that the food is inspired by actual works of art! If all of this isn’t enough, most of the dinners are hosted in spectacular private homes and are limited to 12 – 16 dinner guests. Bottom line: a private chef, an acclaimed artist and an amazing location.
