Experience Details
Introducing a Memorable Portsmouth Tasting Experience at one of the city’s most iconic historic venues, where heritage dining meets history and architectural treasures.
For 90 minutes, immerse yourself in the story of the iconic Rockingham, one bite and one sip at a time. Guided by Cassandra and Cameron, uncover layers of history woven into the walls of this Portsmouth gem.
Savor curated wines paired with gourmet bites from our five-star kitchen. Discover the Rockingham’s beautifully preserved architecture, meet historical figures who graced these rooms, uncover its jazz-filled past, and perhaps sense a whisper from its more spectral residents.
This isn’t just a tasting. It’s a journey through time—one sip, one story, and one delicious moment at a time.
Perfect for foodies, wine lovers (21+), and those who appreciate historic venues, heritage dining, and unique Portsmouth experiences.
A great rainy-day activity on the Seacoast. Private tours are available year-round.
