Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery

Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery is located in Union, a small midcoast Maine town known for its agricultural roots and the long-running Union Fair. With an impressive 4.8-star rating across 21 reviews, it's one of the most well-regarded producers in the state. The combination of winery and distillery under one roof is uncommon in Maine, and it gives visitors a chance to taste both craft wine and small-batch spirits in a single stop. Union's setting in the hills between Rockland and Augusta makes it a natural detour on any midcoast road trip.

Sweetgrass produces fruit wines made from Maine-grown ingredients, including blueberry, apple, and other seasonal fruits that reflect the region's agriculture. The distillery side crafts small-batch spirits, often using similar local fruit sources, which creates an interesting through-line between the two product lines. Tastings are available for both wine and spirits, letting guests explore the full range in one visit. The farm setting also makes it a popular choice for private events and gatherings where guests want something more personal than a commercial venue.

Sweetgrass Farm draws visitors from across midcoast Maine, including Rockland, Camden, Belfast, and Augusta. Union's central location puts it within easy reach of Route 17 and Route 131 travelers. It's a popular stop for tourists exploring the Penobscot Bay region who want to add a farm and winery visit to their itinerary.
