Bar Harbor Winery

Bar Harbor Winery sits just outside Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine, in a tasting room housed in an 1860s wooden barn built with traditional joinery. The winery was established in the early 2000s on the former regenerative agricultural farm known as Sweet Pea Farms. It produces small-batch craft wines on site, working with vinifera, hybrid, and fruit varieties to make dry, semi-sweet, and sweet styles, including blueberry, apple, and peach wines alongside whites and reds. Because Maine's short growing season and cold winters make grape growing difficult, the winery grows some grapes on the property but ferments fruits and juices sourced from growers in more favorable climates. Visiting is walk-in only. Guests can order flights of three wines or full pours, talk with staff about the wines and the island, and browse a small selection of goods by local artisans. Outside the barn, the property includes a small vineyard, a blueberry field, and an heirloom apple orchard.
