What a great place to purchase local Maine Wine and Spirits. Everything is local grown and sold. Cranberry Gin is amazing. With the new Covid restrictions I am glad to see that the Portland Store is finally open. Definitely a place to go visit in Portland.

Spirits arent bad - just pricey- but service is absolutely despicable.

I’ve been in a few times and am always greeted warmly. I originally went in just for a tasting, and enjoyed everything I tried, but I absolutely fell in love with the Maple Smash. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing friends!

Visited Sweetgrass while on vacation. Worth (yes that is his name) was excellent! He was fun, knowledgeable about the product, and passionate about what he does. Worth even turned us on to sun dried tomato and basil wheat thins while we had our tasting (we all had a laugh about it). I would absolutely recommend Sweetgrass to anyone visiting Portland, Maine. The wines are excellent and refreshing as well as their rum and gin. I will for sure be a repeat customer and look forward to trying their Maple Smash (a seasonal variety of their desert wine)

Excellent tasting room with friendly and courteous staff. All of their fortified wines and spirits were excellent, but the amazing gin is definitely the headliner. Tastings are affordable ($5 a person in 2018) and you get a nifty glass to take home. Worth walking by when in the area.

My purpose in visiting was for a wine tasting, although the wine selection was quite thin. Most of the wines on the list are blueberry or cranberry liqueurs/dessert wines. There were no true red or white wines. The tasting also included spirits selections.

We tasted several wines and gins. Best vermouth Ive ever had. Cranberry gin is excellent. We bought two bottles of the gin (one as a gift) and one of vermouth. The person who guided the tasting was charming.

Staff was helpful and friendly. Tastings cost $5 to try four different selections from the menu and include a small souvenir glass. The hard apple cider is made with Maine apples and was very good, although a little dry for my taste. The gins were also very good and reasonably priced as well.

What a great little storefront for such a unique winery/distillery. My favorite was the Rhum and Cranberry wine. $5 for a tasting of 4 wines or spirits, and you get to keep the cool glass! Knowledgeable staff, with a clean, and classy environment. Stop in, its informative, fun, and very low pressure.

Of all the trips Ive made to Portland, this one was the best one, just because of this place. You cant beat a $5 taster of high quality spirits!

I was sadly disappointed by this small shop. Very limited choice of wine and spirits, none of which were outstanding. Tiny samples were poured and the lady who was leading our tasting was curt and impersonal. The only upside is the complimentary glass. I would not stop here again.
