We're proud to share our wines made from Maine's bounty. From our flagship Back River Gin to our wide range of spirits including rum, and brandy, we make the most of our distillery and our custom built still. And yes, we make whiskey. Come see us at our tasting rooms. We're located on Fore Street in Portland's Old Port and at Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery in Union, Maine.

We brought our knowledge of fermenting and distilling back home to Maine, and we've been committed ever since to crafting wines and spirits from real Maine ingredients. Maine's unique growing seasons have become our inspiration, and we delight in finding new distillations to make from the bounty of Maine fruits and grains.

We came after Labor Day, so the tasting room was completely empty. Wines were good, prices are fair.

Just drove there. Closed for the season. We were close to them so not too upset . Call before you go,
Just received a message from the owner, so it's open year round, at the moment curbside, we like to taste before we buy, but understand their situation,

Off the beaten path but isn’t that where you usually find the wicked good places? Beautiful location and great products = A real gem!
So go to Sweetgrass. Get the Cranberry Gin. Get the Rhubarb Smash. Grab a bottle of tonic water. In a glass with ice, one to one Cranberry Gin to Rhubarb smash and two to three parts tonic water, mix and enjoy!!

We tried the blueberry cabernet sauvignon and the gin and really liked them both. The service was very friendly and the setting is gorgeous. Also easy to get to on the way from Portland to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Highly recommend!

Wonderfully secluded and quiet distillery where you can sit out back with a featured drink. Most likely the best gin you'll ever find.

This place is a little slice of Heaven on Earth. The farm and view is beautiful... Their Cranberry Smash is absolutely delicious! So glad we stumbled across this place while out on one of our Sunday drives! Love Sweetgrass!!!

I loved my experience at Sweetgrass! The tasting was fantastic and they give you the glass when you do a tasting, which is great because that will last longer then the bottles I purchased. Their winery assistant, Matt, was knowledgeable and friendly. He had food recommendations for us for later and pointed out some of the cool features of the property. He also talked to us about the wine making process and how Gin is made. Pretty cool stuff. I will be visiting again and bringing friends. Cheers!
