Maine Wineries
Maine is surprisingly fertile territory for growing grapes. Maine wineries are making wines mainly from apples, blueberries, pears and raspberries—and most have tasting rooms where visitors can sample their creations. No matter what part of Maine you visit, you’re on one of our three Wine Trails (pdf) . The Maine Winery Guild invites you to come see us and stay awhile. Take a few day trips and tour our wineries, meaderies, cider works, and artisanal distilleries. Taste our wines and other fine libations, sit down and chat with us, and relax…

Younity Winery
17 Albion Rd, Unity, ME 04988 207-948-7777 www.younitywinery.com We are located in Unity, Maine. People say, “Maine? It’s too cold to grow grapes!” Fifty years ago I would have agreed with you. The winters were colder and there were very few varieties of grapes that were hardy enough survive the cold. Because of milder winters and dozens and dozens of new hardy vines, Maine wineries are growing in numbers. Our pallets are changing also; we are learning to stray from the pure and refined to the blends of ‘let’s have fun in trying something different.’ Unity Winery & Vineyards is here in Unity, Maine because of the community and it’s people. This town lives up to it’s name and we are proud to be part of it.
