Bonaventura Vineyards

Bonaventura Vineyards is a small estate winery and event venue in Hartford, Maine, set on 86 acres overlooking Little Bear Pond. Chad and Jen Casey bought the land in April 2015 and planted 300 grapevines that first spring; they have added vines every year since, growing the planting to more than 1,500 red and white vines. The varieties include DeChaunac, Marechal Foch, Seyval Blanc, Leon Millot, Riesling, Marquette, and Vidal Blanc. All wines are made from grapes grown on the property, and the vines are harvested by hand each fall with help from family and friends. Tastings and events take place in a renovated 1890s barn that houses the tasting room and reception space, with a bar built from reclaimed barn wood and a deck facing the water. Because the winery is still building its inventory, public tasting hours are limited and visits are organized around scheduled tasting events and private tours. The barn and grounds are also booked for weddings and other gatherings.
