Salt Air, Cellar Ambition
This route takes you along the storied Midcoast, where creativity flows as freely as the wine. Begin at the whimsical Fat Friar’s Meadery with a flight of spiced and fruity meads. Then head to Sweetgrass Farm in Union, where grape wines meet handcrafted spirits and pastoral charm. Just down the road, Oyster River Winegrowers experiments with native yeasts and organic methods, offering a raw taste of place. At Sea Hag Cider, savor wild-fermented ciders near the working harbor before finishing at Cellardoor’s flagship vineyard in Lincolnville, perched above fields and forest. This coastal crawl delivers bold flavor, local pride, and the salty soul of Maine.
This day hugs the Midcoast — a region bursting with artistic fermenters and ocean-kissed wines. You’ll sip small-batch mead, rustic cider, and refined reds in scenic settings from forest clearings to vineyard hills overlooking the bay.
