Experiences include a fine dining prix-fixe dinner with your choice of pairings and roundtrip transportation within 1 hr of our secret location in the Western Maine woods. The experience is $220 per person. We do ask for a $50 per person deposit to secure your reservation. Gratuity is not included.

Reservations are requested rather than instantly confirmed via our booking tool. If you would like to be picked up with our complimentary van service, you will be asked your preference of three dining dates. If you would like to drive yourself, you will be able to request a specific date. Once a request is submitted, our team reviews group size, location, and logistics before confirming your seating. You will receive a text once your booking is confirmed. This allows us to preserve the integrity of the experience for every guest.
You are also welcome to email us at info@thechametz.com or call us at 207-578-1753 if you are looking to reserve a specific date.

We can accommodate many dietary needs with advance notice. Because our menus change daily and are shaped by what the land provides, requests must be submitted at the time of booking. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate last-minute changes. Currently we are unable to accommodate vegans or vegetarians, as well as those who cannot consume butter.
-
Experiences vary in length on the nightly offering. You can expect to spend about 3 to 4 hours dining, plus travel time to and from our secret location.
-
Our experience is a 3+ hour long culinary journey for advanced palates and is not suitable for most children. However, you know your child better than anyone, so we leave that decision to the parents.
-
Due to the small scale of our seatings, cancellations impact the entire system—from the kitchen to the farm. We offer the ability to cancel if within 2 weeks of dining, and ability to reschedule if within 1 week of dining.
-
We do not have a formal dress code. We ask that you come dressed in a way that feels celebratory and special to reflect the experience.
-
Seating is released in limited windows and announced as dates become available, generally for the next 2 to 3 months. Because our menus are driven by seasonality and harvest, reservations are not opened far in advance. We recommend joining our mailing list to be notified when new dates are released.
