Seasonal Delicacies
When you wake up at the Wine Garden Inn, a sumptuous breakfast feast awaits. Our chefs take great pride in crafting gourmet morning meals that showcase the finest seasonal produce from our own gardens and local purveyors. From flavorful breakfast casseroles to fluffy buttermilk pancakes, every dish is thoughtfully prepared to delight your palate.
One of our signature offerings is the Stuffed Strawberry French Toast, where pillowy brioche is filled with a luscious blend of fresh, juicy strawberries and creamy mascarpone cheese. Drizzled with our own maple syrup from the trees on our property, this decadent creation is a true taste of indulgence. Or perhaps you’ll be enticed by our Baked Eggs in Cream, with shaved Brussels sprouts, nutty Gruyère cheese, and crisp, locally-sourced bacon nestled in a rich, velvety custard.
Gourmet Offerings
We believe that breakfast should be a culinary experience, not just a meal. That’s why our chefs relentlessly explore new flavor combinations and techniques to elevate each dish. Maybe you’ll enjoy a stack of blueberry-studded pancakes, made with wild Maine blueberries that burst with sweetness in every bite. Or savor the heartiness of our Shirred Eggs, where farm-fresh eggs are baked to perfection in a creamy mushroom sauce.
For those seeking a lighter start to the day, our bountiful continental breakfast offers an artful array of freshly baked goods. Flaky croissants, buttery muffins, and fragrant tea breads are just the beginning. Pair them with a selection of jams, honeys, and local dairy products for a truly indulgent experience.

Seasonal Inspiration
At the heart of our breakfast offerings is a deep commitment to seasonality and sustainability. We draw inspiration from the rhythms of nature, carefully planning our menus to showcase the finest, freshest ingredients at their peak. This might mean whipping up a batch of fluffy Buttermilk Waffles in the spring, when local dairy is at its creamiest, or crafting a hearty Breakfast Strata in the fall, loaded with roasted root vegetables and savory sausage.
Our extensive gardens provide us with a wealth of produce, from juicy tomatoes and crisp greens to fragrant herbs and edible flowers. These homegrown treasures not only add vibrant flavors to our dishes but also reflect the ever-changing tapestry of the seasons. We delight in incorporating them into our menus in innovative ways, whether that’s topping your avocado toast with microgreens or blending them into a refreshing smoothie.
Locally-Sourced Ingredients
Beyond our own gardens, we forge close relationships with local farms, purveyors, and artisans to source the highest quality ingredients. Our chef meticulously curates each element of a dish, ensuring that every component – from the maple syrup to the bacon – is of the utmost freshness and provenance.
This commitment to local sourcing not only supports our regional food system but also allows us to showcase the terroir of the area. You’ll taste the difference in the rich, velvety yolks of our farm-fresh eggs or the sweet, earthy notes of our homemade preserves. It’s a culinary journey that celebrates the bounty of our surrounding landscape.
Produce Freshness
Ensuring the utmost freshness of our produce is a top priority. Each morning, our culinary team harvests the ripest, most vibrant ingredients from our gardens, ensuring that they reach your plate at the peak of their flavor and nutritional value. Whether it’s the juicy tomatoes that crown your Avocado Toast or the crisp, colorful greens that adorn your Breakfast Salad, you can taste the difference that just-picked produce makes.
