Beyond the Grape: A Survey of Maine Wines

Explore the variety of wines that Maine vintners are producing! Attendees will enjoy a guided tasting of 5-6 Maine wines, comparing and contrasting not only the wines themselves but the fruits, vegetables and other ingredients used. Attendees will also learn about the techniques winemakers use to influence the characteristics of the wine - like "dry," "sweet," "creamy," or "fruity."

The price of your registration includes a full pour of one of your top-rated wines from the class in the Tasting Room immediately following the class.

This class is presented by Maine Tasting Center and its non-profit partner organization Maine Food and Beverage Education Center. The class will be taught by Lynda Gaines, a WSET Level 3 Certified Wine Enthusiast.

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.
