Maine Wine in a Changing Climate

Maine winemakers work in a challenging and highly variable climate, and that reality shows up in the wines they make. In this class, attendees will enjoy a guided tasting of 5–6 Maine grape wines, comparing how weather, growing conditions, and seasonal differences influence flavor, structure, and style. Along the way, we’ll explore how Maine’s current climate shapes grape growing today - and how a changing climate may affect what can grow here, and what Maine wines may look like in the future.

This class is held in our 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.

Due to the nature of this class, all attendees must be ages 21+

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!
