The Farmhouse

Cellardoor Winery, nestled in the valley between Cameron and Levenseller Mountains in Lincolnville, Maine, is about four miles inland from Penobscot Bay.  The 5,000 vines of North American cold-hardy hybrids, planted on  10-12″ of good fertile topsoil which turns to heavy clay, are surrounded by a forest with an active wildlife population. Netting is essential to protect the ripening fruit from being consumed by everything from bears, moose, deer, to gophers and songbirds. Animals and humans alike make the most of the short growing season in Maine. The challenge of growing grapes in Maine is also what makes our vineyard unique and Cellardoor Winery believes in the spirit of meeting those challenges head-on and overcoming them is present in every glass poured.

At Cellardoor there’s a sign that hangs above our door that says, “Transcend Circumstances. Sense possibility.”  That’s what they do. They find the potential in everything and everyone and shape it to become a better winery, vineyard, company, and team.. Not only do they want to set the bar for what quality and craftsmanship look like from a premier winery and vineyard, but they also want every bottle to represent their absolute personal best, and every year they strive to go even further.
