How do DINE gardens grow – Part 2

This week, we're heading to Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachusetts! While reading and photos help to give you an idea of the beauty of our gardens, seeing them in person is really the way to go. Have you planned your June getaway to any of the 11 Distinctive Inns of New England? Now is the time to come while days are warm, nights are cool (perfect for snuggling) and gardens are just beginning to bloom.

How do DINE gardens grow

With an unusually cold winter and spring, the gardens at the 11 Distinctive Inns of New England are a bit behind, but Mother Nature played catch up for a few days recently and warm sunshine helped to make those gardens pop. Spring time has definitely come to Northern New England DINE inns, and summer is on it's way to reaching our Southern DINE members. Time to start planning your spring and summer getaways to DINEcountry!

DINEtinerary: Travel the Coast of Maine via DINE Inns

Travel the Maine coast in distinctive luxury and stay at two Distinctive Inns of New England, the Captain Jefferds Inn in Kennebunkport and the Camden Maine Stay Inn in Camden. These two inns, both located in coastal Maine towns offer not only gorgeous accommodations but fabulous shopping, sightseeing and oh yes! plenty of chances to sample lobster too!

From Sea to Sea: Southern Coastal DINEtinerary

The beauty of our Southern Coastal DINEtinerary is the proximity of the three inns included. With each inn under 2 hours from one another, it leaves plenty of time to explore the region. This six day Southern Coastal Itinerary offers two days each three wonderful inns, with plenty of time for beaches, sightseeing and great dining. Starting from the southern-most DINE property, this DINEtinerary can be accomplished easily from south to north or north to south.

In honor of the Derby

While mint juleps might be the drink of the day during the Kentucky Derby, this delicious pie will hold up as the "other" official dish of the Derby! Coming to you from the Chesterfield Inn, be sure to add a piece of this to your Derby party this year.
