Services & Process

As both a cidery and a wine tasting room, Honey In That Rock lets guests explore two very different fermentation traditions in a single visit. The cider side typically features dry, semi-dry, and sweet expressions made from locally sourced apples, while the wine tasting experience covers the winery's own productions. Guests can sample from both categories, compare styles, and get a clearer picture of how Maine's agricultural landscape translates into what's in the glass. Bottles and cans are usually available for purchase on-site.

Service Area

Honey In That Rock serves guests in Franklin and across Hancock County in Downeast Maine. It draws visitors from nearby communities like Ellsworth, Sullivan, and Winter Harbor, as well as tourists making their way to or from Acadia National Park.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the cider and wine offerings here?
The cidery side focuses on fermented apple beverages ranging from bone-dry to sweetly approachable, while the wine tasting covers grape and potentially fruit wines made on-site. Trying both gives you a really useful comparison of how different raw ingredients become very different finished drinks.
Is Honey In That Rock a good stop if I'm visiting Acadia National Park?
Franklin is roughly 30 minutes from Bar Harbor, making it a reasonable detour for Acadia visitors looking to explore the broader Hancock County area. It's a good way to extend a day trip and support a small local producer while you're in the region.
Do they offer tasting flights for both the cider and wine?
Many dual-focus operations like this one offer combined or separate flights so guests can choose their experience. It's worth calling ahead at (607) 341-0528 to confirm what's currently available and whether flights can be mixed across cider and wine.
Can I bring a group for a tasting?
Small producers in Maine can often accommodate groups with some advance notice, though larger parties may need to book ahead to ensure enough staff and product are available. Getting in touch before you arrive will make the visit go much more smoothly.
Are their ciders made with Maine apples?
Many Maine cideries prioritize locally sourced fruit, and the Downeast region has a long history of apple growing that feeds directly into the craft cider movement. Asking staff about their sourcing is a great conversation starter and usually reveals a lot about their production philosophy.
What should I expect from a 3-star-rated winery?
A 3-star rating with only two reviews means the picture is still forming, and early reviews don't always reflect the full character of a place. Visiting with an open mind and sharing your own honest feedback helps build a more accurate profile over time.
