White Wines of Maine

Maine winemakers create a wide variety of wines using all manner of ingredients - grapes, blueberries, rhubarb, honey and more! In this class, attendees will enjoy a guided tasting of 5-6 grape-based Maine white wines, comparing and contrasting not only the wines themselves but the grape varietals used. Attendees will also learn about the techniques winemakers use to influence the characteristics of the wine - like "dry," "sweet," "creamy," or "fruity."

This interactive class is held in our brand-new Learning Center and is taught by Lynda Gaines, a WSET Level 3 certified wine enthusiast. The price of your ticket includes a full pour of one of your top-rated wines from the class in the Tasting Room immediately following the class.

New for 2024! Join WSET Level 3 certified ‘wine enthusiast’ Lynda Gaines on “Wine Wednesdays” for an immersive class series that will help you explore all that Maine’s wine industry has to offer – get to know wineries from across the state, learn about the techniques Maine winemakers use to offset the effects of our colder climate, and, of course, sample a wide variety of local wines! Attend one program, or all four to deepen your understanding and enhance your enjoyment of every sip.
