Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery (www.sweetgrasswinery.com) was founded in 2005 in Union, Maine, on the historic Carroll Farm, by husband and wife team, Keith and Constance Bodine. Sweetgrass, who uses Maine grown fruit and grain to produce their wines and distinctive spirits, is best known for their award winning premium Back River gin. Last year Sweetgrass completed a 4,000 square foot addition to their distillery, enabling them to increase production of their Maine grown whiskey, Back River Gin, Three Crow Rum, Apple Brandy, fortified wines and other spirits.
The Grand Opening of the new Sweetgrass tasting room and shop on Fore Street will feature a free tasting of wine and spirits such as a Cranberry Smash paired with Dean Sweet’s delicious truffles, or a decadent cupcake from Kupcake, Inc. Other Fore Street businesses Just Kim, a fine jewelry and accessories shop, Lovely Things, featuring vintage collectibles and home accessories, and Vena’s Fizz House, a mixology shop and natural soda bar, will also be joining in the celebration with extended hours and specials offers for the day.
