A day in Ellsworth
Itinerary
Note – we put some scheduled times in here just to give you some ideas. You can pick and choose what you want to do. Be sure to look at when they are open and if there are any COVID restrictions. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to call any that you plan to visit just to be on the safe side.
Food is such a central part of all of our lives, from the way we cook it, to the way we eat it, whether we love it or hate it. Food can bring everyone together and create some of the best memories. For this itinerary, we took into account that not everyone has the ability to eat anything and everything so we included places that have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options!
