In coastal New England, autumn harvest goes beyond apple orchards and pumpkin patches and stretches into the sea.  For freshly shucked oysters and a variety of other culinary experiences that encompass the vibrant food scene of Portland, Maine, don't miss the Harvest on the Harbor Festival.  Enjoy epicurean presentations, live music, mingling with Maine's top chefs, and of course savoring delicious bites from local eateries and drinks from Portland's best brewers and distillers.  For ultimate autumn vibes, retreat to a charming private cottage at Hidden Pond in Kennebunk.  When you regain your appetite from the festival, dine at the farm-to-table restaurant, and end your evening with a glass of champagne by the crackling fire.
 
Private Perks: $100 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, complimentary upgrade, and more.
