Mom does a lot for us, sometimes without us even knowing. Now, you have the opportunity to say "Thank you" by taking her out to our Mother's Day Wine and Chocolate Extravaganza being held here at Savage Oakes Vineyard & Winery and at Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery, both located in Union, Maine.
Savage Oakes has teamed up with Union Agway and 7 Tree Farm and Greenhouse to give Mom a free plant with her visit. A family owned and operated store, Union Agway has been meeting area farmers' and home owners' needs since 1933. Another family owned and operated business, 7 Tree Farm and Greenhouse is run by the 8th and 9th generation of founder Moses Hawes.
Once Mom has indulged her senses with wines and chocolates and received a free plant, take the scenic drive over to Sweetgrass Farm Winery & Distillery. There you will be treated to more flavors and pairings.

Treat Dad right this Father's Day with a scenic trip to Union for great food and drinks. Savage Oakes Vineyard and Winery is teaming up with Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery to offer Dad a memorable day of wine, spirits, and cheese.

As always, winemakers and cheesemakers are on hand to discuss their wines, cheeses, and pairings. What could be better than a ride in the country, Maine cheese, and wine?

On Sunday July 22, 2012 Maine farms will be open to the public. Visit a farm and see what farm life is all about. Watch farm activities and demonstrations from milking to felting; pet farm animals, pick berries, tour a barn or go on a hay ride. There will be farm-raised products for sale, displays to see and samples to taste.
Join us for a close up view of a working Farm Winery. Tour the vineyard where we grow ten varieties of cold hardy hybrid grapes. See wild blueberries in production and take a tour of the winery where the fruit becomes some of Maine's most unique, award winning wines. The farm is also home to a herd of Belted Galloway beef cattle, our friendly sows, Lettuce and Rhubarb (Ruby), chickens, three cats and of course, Quincy the dog. Free product samples. Restroom facilities available.
