Another amazing experience at Cellardoor. This time it was for dinner with Black Goat Test Kitchen and Cellardoor Winery. This was our second dinner with the duo and both experiences were perfect. The winery closed just before the event started so we had run of the farmhouse. I love the gift shop and heading out to the deck that overlooks the vineyard with my first wine of the evening. Last night's dinner was held at the long bar in the farmhouse. Here the chefs prepared everything right in front of us. The super authentic, approachable chefs answered all our questions about the menu, local ingredients and process. Each dish was layered with flavors and textures. Every dish was regular sized, no mini tastes here, no leaving hungry. Wine served complimented each course and Bettina (Cellardoor owner) pulled a couple of extra pours of different wines just for more comparisons. Very fun! These are small, intimate dining experiences that we don't often get to experience. I saw this dinner on their website and said "why not?" Now I am going back to sign up for more! read more

My wife and I stopped in on a Friday afternoon after our Innkeepers and friend had recommended a visit. They did not disappoint. We each ordered a glass of wine and sat on a covered balcony and enjoyed the view of the grounds and vineyard. The wine glasses were very reasonably priced and the service was top notch. They offer tastings, glasses of wine, as well as bottles for your drinking pleasure as you enjoy your time overlooking the property. There is also a nice sample of cheeses, meats, and crackers to devour as you enjoy your beverage of choice. We chose the buoy white and the perfect stranger as our wines of choice. Great choice! The indoor facility is beautiful and I understand why they have events there. The smell of the fresh pasta cooking and the cozy furniture was great to see. They must have been setting up for an event. If you want to relax for a couple of hours, this is the place. There is ample parking in their private parking lot. We enjoyed our wine very much and bought four bottles to take home with us. Did I mention the bathrooms were big and spotless? read more

This place was wonderful to stop at on our way to Bar Harbor - wine was great as well given the super reasonable price. We didn't have reservations and were easily able to find a spot. We got there around 4:30 and the staff let us know we were free to hang out outside as long as we wanted however the indoor closed at 5. read more

We didn't have a reservations. Location was breathtaking. Parking is limited, we access on the backside and across the street. Margery got us settled with the run-down of their tastings/wine selections. Recommended everything but the sweeter tasting. Even stated "we like to hide this". We ordered the sweeter tasting. Jill was overheard talking to Pam (customer) with a stern and sarcastic voice, almost judging her selection of "dessert wine". That really changed the tone of our stay. We must note that the "sweet and dessert wines" are not going to be what you're used to. read more

Nice place to enjoy a wine tasting either inside or outdoors. Their building is absolutely stunning and has beautiful views. It would be perfect for special events too. As of July 2021 masks were still required for everyone. Reservations suggested for Thursday - Sunday. We didn't know this but luckily they had room to seat us anyway. It was busy even though we came during the day on a Thursday. The wine tastings were 4 for $15 and included the glass. For the tastings you could choose from 3 preset menus, and each tasting came in tiny disposable plastic containers with lids (like a condiment takeout container), on a tray with the tasting glass. I know we're in COVID but this is so wasteful. I really hope they don't do this normally. Also the tastings were very small for the price. The wines were good but most of the wines are made with grapes from somewhere else. They also carry a variety of snacks including charcuterie boards which looked really tasty! Everyone we interacted with was courteous and professional. read more

Fabulous view and great time to be had. Our server was so sweet and attentive! I'm sorry to say, I forgot her name. She was a joy to talk to! We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed our tastings, which was self guided. Next time. I think I would book a food and wine paring. This was full and in action when we were there it looks like so much fun ! Reasonable tasting wines! read more

We had an exceptionally pleasant experience working with Bettina, the owner, planning a celebratory dinner with family for our son and his wife. She was able to help us with a caterer and a florist and provided a beautiful venue and gracious staff for our event. Everyone attending thoroughly enjoyed their time in the beautiful surroundings. We are very grateful for all Bettina did to make the event such a memorable one. We would highly recommend Cellardoor Winery as a venue. Catherine and Jeff read more

We were lucky enough to get tickets to "Full Circle" dinner at Cellardoor Winery in partnership with Walkers Maine as our first ever visit to Cellardoor, and we were blown away by everyone involved. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous. The pond and surrounding area was filled with fall colors, and you can see the vineyards in the background. The barn itself is pretty much original and beautifully restored / maintained. Everything from the chandeliers to stools is beautiful inside. The staff was so amazingly friendly and attentive, and all the fellow guests were also so welcoming to us out of towners. We hear this was their first event back after Covid, and it was beautifully done. The wines were beautifully paired with each app, entree, and dessert. Each course and app and wine was amazing!!! We appreciated the Chefs coming out to talk about the swordfish and the short rib preparations. The reserve red was so incredible - I wish I had bought some bottles to enjoy for the occasional after-work glass of wine. I wish we lived nearby to go there often, but for now, it's just a beautiful evening during our honeymoon! Thank you Cellardoor team for everything!!! read more

Great winery with various wines. Nice tasting flights. Charcuterie boxes to pair. Lovely scenery of the vineyard below and mountains in the distance read more

Piper helped us out when I wasn't sure where to go to check in for my reservation. The wine was amazing-we got three different flights and there was not one we didn't like. Mackenzie was sweet and so friendly -even told me where my husband was parked and waiting for me as I paid for some bottles to bring home. The view was incredible-this is a winery that is a must visit if you know anything about wineries! read more

My husband is not much of a wine drinker so despite the fact that we visit Camden regularly, he has previously been lukewarm about going to Cellardoor for one of their wine tastings until this year. We had a rainy day and our outdoor plans needed to change. I suggested that we go to Cellardoor for a wine tasting and much to my surprise he happily agreed that it was a capital plan. We arrived in the early afternoon on a weekday and found there were a number of people there but it wasn't crowded. There was just a nice, happy ambiance of chatting, convivial wine-tasters. The winery itself is in a stunning location. The views are spectacular and the winery itself is in a gorgeous converted barn. It is a most pleasant place to spend time. We took two seats at the expansive bar although there are other areas in which to sit. We were assisted by a lovely woman whose name I am sorry to say I didn't get. She handed us menus and a marker and told us that we were able to choose up to 4 wines per $8.00 tasting. My husband and I each chose 4 reds although there is what looks to be a nice selection of white wines. The woman helping us poured each wine in succession and explained them nicely. My husband and I both loved the Super Tuscan the best. After we had tasted all 4 of the wines we each ordered a glass of the Super Tuscan. The full glasses of wine cost $8.00 which is quite reasonable. We weren't rushed or hurried along. We were able to savor the wine, relax, look out the windows at the beautiful grounds and have a wonderful time. We probably spent about 90 lovely minutes in there. We purchased a couple of bottles of the Super Tuscan to take home with us. As we were leaving we walked around the rest of the building. There are really pretty spaces which you can rent to host events or weddings. There is a small gift shop as well. Buy the time we left the rain had stopped and there was a lovely light fog lingering which hung over the property. It was simply stunning. I do recommend that you check out Cellardoor and enjoy a relaxing, no pressure wine-tasting. Check out the property too if you're interested in a venue like this for any events you might be hosting. read more

First off the venue, WOW! Beautiful hillside tasting room overlooking their pond and vineyard. Absolutely picturesque. Their wines were good, especially their Reds. They also grow some grapes that they utilize in some of their wines on site. My favorite part for here is that they allow bottle service. Sit on the deck, patio, or down in the pavilion or vineyard. They also offer private wine and food parings and private wine tastings. Staff were very friendly and prices were fair. read more

Cellardoor has one of the most stunning views I've ever seen at a vineyard. We were lucky enough to catch the start of fall color change and gorgeous sunny day. Covid has shifted their operations quite a bit it seems but we felt as though they did a great job. They do require reservations and they took about 24 hours to respond to my email request. You are allowed to pick from pre-selected tastings or enjoy a glass of any wine for $10. The glasses are yours to keep and the samples are dispensed in takeout condiment containers. They also have premade platters of cheeses and fruits for purchase. The wines themselves were lack luster. We did the September tasting and the red tasting and didn't enjoy a single wine that we tried. We had given ourselves time to spend and enjoy perhaps another glass but opted to leave soon after finishing our tastings. Little depth of flavor or uniqueness to the wine. We also missed out on being educated about the vineyard itself and where their grapes are sourced. read more

The view is 10/10. The wines itself are pretty good and the women working were friendly and helpful. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a seat outside. I can definitely see this place getting busy though, so I would book a reservation in the future. We elected to buy a separate cheese and crackers and they have boards and tools so you can cut your own. I thought that was great since we didn't want to buy a pre made box. They both tasted fantastic as well. The only thing I really didn't like is the plastic cups. Seems wasteful and cheap and I didn't like getting wine on my hands just to open them and pour my own wine. I still gave 5 stars just for the view and cheese. read more

Cellardoor Winery - a hand holding a glass of wine - Wineries Near Me - Lincolnville, Maine

I think the place is poorly managed. The wines we sampled were good and reasonably priced. . In fact, we bought several bottles. However, there was a lot of waiting. It seemed like there were a lot of people on staff, but only a few actually working. We considered ordering a glass of of wine and something to eat, but decided not to because everything was so slow. I was annoyed in particular at check out when a group suddenly decided that they wanted to sample something. They did so at check out, forcing everyone in line to wait. This place was highly recommended by a friend, but, honestly I was very disappointed. read more

This winery was fabulous! We shut the place down. The decor was upscale and inviting. The employees were helpful with tastings and pairings. We loved the board/card games left out in the sitting areas. We played cards while sipping our wine. We had a great time. I can't wait to go back. read more

Loved this vineyard!! Make sure to make a reservation as it is required! The hostess gives you the lay of the land at the door and then you proceed upstairs to get your tasting. Because of covid, you pre purchase your tastings and they bring them out to you on a tray with descriptions of all of the wines. We sat on the balcony overlooking the vineyards which was perfectly shaded from the heat of the sun. I tried both the red and white flights and loved the white one more! We met the owner as well who was very friendly and accommodating! The inside of the winery was gorgeous; a beautiful place to have a special events dinner or company event. They also had just finished the pavilion when we were there which is out by the vineyard. We ventured down the path (you can drive as well) where we found a bunch of picnic tables and adorandack chairs to relax. A couple groups were taking pictures in the vineyard which is always fun! Overall, relaxing beautiful experience that you don't want to miss. Can't wait to come back! read more

This winery is by far one of the best I've been to. I have tasted wine across the US, France, and Greece and this one is definitely in my top picks! Cellardoor winery prides itself on kindness, friendliness, and hospitality and I'd say they exceeded their own expectations. They even accommodated us even though we did not have a reservation like we were supposed to. So happy they were kind enough not to turn us away, and invite us in to drink their amazing wine. If you are in the area or heading up to Bar Habor, you must stop here! You will not regret it. Not only is the wine superb, but the views and environment are incredible. read more

Beautiful space, tasty wine. We did the white flight and then bought a bottle each of the tower and the perfect --- (the rest of the name escapes me). It felt safe given Covid--we did sit inside but there was lots of space. The area around the winery is really scenic. One thing I'm not sure about is accessibility--we had a stroller but weren't directed to an elevator or an accessible entrance, but that may be due to covid protections. read more

Oh a winery in the middle of Lincolnville, Maine? What! How cute is this place. The winery is pretty much a huge barn that they modernized but kept all the original wood from back in the day. We weren't sure what to expect, but after pulling up and seeing the barn from the outside which I didn't even know was a barn before, I was pretty impressed. The inside is even more gorgeous and the owner has great taste. The new chandeliers are beautiful and the things they sell in there are also very nice. i got myself a set of pineapple coasters which I fell in love when I walked by. We had booked a wine lovers tour package with our inn and it included a VIP tour with Cellardoor Winery and that tour was led by Jill and she was such a sweet heart and very good tour guide. To keep this short, definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. The wines are fantastic. If you would like to read a more in depth review, check out my blog on my profile page :) read more

What a difference a few years makes. Back then I had a wonderful normal wine tasting at a bar with a wine pourer who explained each wine and provided great pours. Now you wait in line at a cash register, told zero about the wine, and given tiny plastic containers of different wines (red & white both stored in refrigerator) to take outside to dump in a wine glass. Felt horrible after taking visitors there after getting their hopes up that this was like a Napa winery! Talk about shocked. So sad about this as it's a beautiful place with great views. Looking forward to trying Savage Oaks Winery in Union. read more

Ahh, my home state of Maine. The roads leading to the winery are Corvette friendly. This winery is right outside the beautiful Oceanside city of Camden (maybe 25m out). The winery is in Lincolnville Maine. To my surprise Maine had a couple of good wineries AND they are using estate grown grapes (hybrid from Cornell). The wines are good, the facility is beautiful and the pourers are very friendly. read more

When I visited Maine I made a special trip to this establishment based on a colleague's recommendation. I am so very glad I did. Check their website for open tasting hours so you won't be disappointed. This is a stunning property immaculately maintained. The wines, made mostly from Washington grapes, are exceptional. I would love to come back to try more (and ship a case or two back home)! Paired with a simple cheese platter, they shine as brightly as the gorgeous Maine countryside. read more

We were told to come here by a local when hiking at the state park. What an awesome way to end the day. This winery overlooks a lake and their small vineyard. It is breathtaking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to do the wine tasting you have to sit st the bar. Lisa was wonderful. We tried 4 wines for $8. It was truly enjoyable. A must do if in Camden. read more

Very classy quite and establishment. We were lucky and found that it opened up just because of the holiday weekend. The women that were at the bar helped out alot and were very knowledgeable about the wine. One bartender was very honest and me with my selection. Usually they tell you "what you want to hear" and say eveything is good, she didn't and I appreciated that. We also ate at cafe miranda's, which is located in the same building and the food was great. We were able to watch it as it was being prepared and the chef was able to point us in the right direction, which is very helpful for people who are coming from out of town. read more

Had a nice tasting here on a busy Sun. Could have also tasted wine with donuts from a local shop but as much as I like donuts, that just wasn't a combo that sounded good (esp when seafood was on the agenda). Tastings were 4or 5 glasses for about $11 and the gal was very informative. Really enjoyed them but we only got one bottle (priced a little higher than the Finger Lakes where i just visited). the space is gorgeous, both inside and out. The woman at the gift shop was sweet too. Worth a visit. read more

We visited the winery today and the staff was fantastic! We liked 5 out of 6 wines which is pretty amazing for a state not known for wine. Many of the grapes were sourced from California and Washington, were all very good. We tried the late harvest and all of us enjoyed it. If you are in Maine and enjoy wine experiences, I would definitely recommend going to Cellardoor.. read more

Cellardoor used to be our favorite winery when coming to Maine each year but this year it was a bit of a disappointment. The atmosphere was not like it used to be. They no longer do wine tastings and you have to buy a flight of wine and there is no flexibility within the flight packages to change any of the wines. They also used to do the tastings at the wine barrel bar and now you have to go and purchase your wine and someone will seat you at the bar. There is no interaction with the staff in explaining the wine and the few people that there were around the bar seemed bored. The manager was also less than polite when it came to suggestions about the atmosphere there. Also note, expect a considerably older crowd and the fun and engaging atmosphere is gone. read more

Came here for a wine tasting and loved it! The property is amazing and the service was great.

I would tell you to come here even if the wine sucked. That's how incredible the view is from the immaculately adorned hilltop barn-turned-winery/event space, which would be a fabulous spot for a wedding reception or grand party. But guess what...the wine here is fantastic and mostly features blends of grapes grown in California and Washington state. The Prince Valiant (cab, malbec, cab franc, merlot blend) and local Maine blueberry wine were outstanding. My wife and I grabbed a glass and were encouraged to stroll the grounds -- we agreed that we hadn't seen such beautiful views since our college days in lower Appalachia. If you have time, you must walk to the vines and seek out the two reclined chairs in the middle of the field to soak in a true "vacation moment." See my photo for what I mean. When driving north of Camden, this place is not to be missed. read more

Cellardoor Winery - Relaxation at its finest. - Wineries Near Me - Lincolnville, Maine

This was a stop on the Maine wine trail adventure. It is a beautiful setting on the coast of Maine. The building is lovely and adored with lots of fun wine décor, beautiful stained glass and an elegant staircase. The tasting area is a circular bar that seats about 14. If they are busy you may have to wait your turn to get a seat. There are even jam samples upstairs, some made from their own wine. You get 4 wine samples complimentary and may buy additional or a single glass. The experience left something to be desired. The bartender was calling for back up because she felt so busy. Another lady came to help and had very little interest in anything other than pouring all the wines and getting out of there for the next group. I was hoping for some wine talk, perhaps about what other patrons have enjoy or what wines may suit my taste or about the company. Instead, the lady behind the bar was busy rolling her eyes when started with a sweet wine rather than the traditional order. i'm hoping the next visit will be better. They provide a list of their wines with a grease pencil to mark which wines you want to try. The list provides details about each wine, including the flavors and some of the ingredients. The wines were all quite nice. The dessert wine C'est de l'or was lovely a lovely port style wine with maple. The perfect stranger was a white wine with fruity flavor. The sweetheart was semi-sweet red wine made with grapes and tasted like drinking grape juice, but for adults. I left with a few bottle for home. read more
