Another stop along route 1 and one that is not to be missed! My first trip here and I am already looking forward to the next. Due to being a Monday and past the typical tourist season we were the only ones briefly besides one other couple from Texas who were a joy to chat with. The bartender was extremely nice and had such a vast knowledge of the distillery and even telling us about some soon to come limited spirits. The distillery is a sight to behold as it is utilizing a 1800's barn and has a ton of character opposed to some of the industrial forward spots. Also compared to a lot of other distilleries their cocktail menu is huge with lots of options for each and every spirit. The bartender described it perfectly as a hidden gem and said they are the busiest during rainy times of the summer. I can definitely see this as a great rainy day stop. While I have not been to many distilleries this has become a true new favorite. Some of the best cocktails I have had recently by far! Add this to your spots to check out.

Blueberry Bourbon Smash

Finally stopped in to Wiggly Bridge! Last year, my boyfriend and I noticed the distillery along route 1 and have said "we need to try it" every time we pass. This weekend we finally made it a point to try. It was around noon on Sunday and we were the only ones in there until another family came in. Super personal and intimate experience with the bartender, Jonah. He was incredibly knowledgeable and can tell he loves his job! My boyfriend did the tasting & I chose to order a cocktail. We appreciated that they provide one complimentary tasting of a spirit before ordering it in a cocktail form. Definitely, can understand why the Blueberry Smash is their most popular cocktail. The history here is so neat, especially when it comes to legacy. The owner's grandsons were running around the barn & actually bottling the spirits themselves!

What a fun stop! We were not able to do the tour, but enjoyed the tasting. Sitting at the bar was fun and our bartender was very knowledgeable about all the product that they produce on site. We even met the owner! They are turning out quite a variety of small batch spirits here, and there is really only one way to see what you like, and that is to try them! There is a small gift shop adjacent to the bar that sells branded items, as well as a selection of the spirits made on site.

We last had Wiggly Bourbon on my birthday 4 years ago in Kennebunkport. Now, on our way back to Mass from Bar Harbor, we made this place a special destination. One thing about distilleries, is that you don't have to be complacent with going to another brewery for a beer, they had a delicious chin and bourbon. Sitting on the front porch, eating delicious snacks and having a sip of a cocktail seems like a great adventure when in the middle of a long drive. . I also really like the fact that there is a physical destination you can go to after visiting the brewery to see the actual weekly bridge, which gave this place bonus points. We definitely like to go to places that are not crowded, so this was a refreshing turn from going to all of the seafood touristy places that a lot of people like to go to. So, you will get snacks, but not a meal. You'll get a good drink, but not a sad place to drink it. I cannot wait to go back here, and really wish we had more distilleries out where I live in Massachusetts.

First off, Jonah our bartender was incredible. Perfectly maid painkiller and delicious pear infused mule. We will absolutely be back. Hoping they have food to offer soon.

My family and I attended a distillery tour at Wiggly Bridge led by owner Dave. He was extremely knowledgeable and sociable, engaging with each member of the family. This small distillery has amazing award winning spirits ranging from bourbon, blue agave, gin, vodka and rum. The welcoming and accommodating staff along with the barn atmosphere and great drinks made for an awesome experience that I would highly recommend!

Great small location. The bar staff was very nice. Support local business There is also glasses and clothing.

Always great cocktails and great service! Shannon and Jules were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Spicy Paloma, which was a special, and the Small Batch Bourbon Fig Manhattan. Each crafted well and tasted delicious. Then. We ordered The Forager which included gin, maple syrup and thyme - it was surprisingly complimentary. We have been here a couple of times and love the barn and atmosphere!

Oak barrels, with icy tops

Ok, this place has changed my taste in whiskey. They have elevated my pallet for refined whiskey and I can no longer drink the lower class whiskey on the shelves. The bourbon we tasted was extraordinary. You'd think white whiskey is a nonstarter for people who love whiskey, but it was so interesting, surprisingly smooth and has some sort of natural sweetness. Oh, should have started with who our tour host was, the owner! Yeah! Dave who actually owns more than 8 businesses, gave us three hours of his time to explain in detail about the distilling process, the stills (which by the way Dave and his son made), and the ingredients that go in there. Dave was an open book about everything ( of course, except any proprietary information such as temperatures, timing, the cut they take from the heads and tails (feints) Their vodka was so smooth, but has the wiggly bridge distillery personality. They also had interesting rum and tequila that won the bronze award. We got to taste a shot from the barrel that they were checking in the Rick house....oh my goodness was that hood...it was caramel'y, with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, mild oak, maple syrup, peach, plum. It will be bottled by April - May 2023 so if you don't want to miss out on this remarkably smooth whisky with a bunch of personality. Dave was a wealth of knowledge and just a fun person to spend three hours with. Other than the good alcohol, the tour, the ambiance...he gave us a lot of advise on tricks for successful business, life, monetary stability, family, future, philosophy...and on top of that, he made us some amazing cocktails!! My cocktail was a fig marmalade Manhattan with orange zest, walnut bitters, and most importantly the small batch Bourbon - absolutely best Manhattan I have had. What a wonderful day spent with the family of Wiggly Bridge Distillery, just felt like we were with friends. Will definitely come back here again!

This spot has everything. Craft cocktails with talented bar staff, a cozy and warm atmosphere, free housemade chips and dip, fantastic live music (slide guitar and mandolin!) Highly recommended. Check the hours - they close by 7pm.

Blueberry bourbon smash

A very cool little gem! These drinks were absolutely delicious! They go the extra mile crafting them with fresh ingredients and all the alcohol was made in house. Bartenders were extremely knowledgeable about all things behind the bar, and very pleasant to chat with. We will be back!

Delicious White Whiskey based Bloody Mary.

Place was packed but thankfully we snagged a high top table inside. They even had some live music going on which was great. Service was friendly and quick with multiple servers checking in with us and other parties. Busy but they did not seem overwhelmed at all. Top notch service during our visit. In the past they had food trucks for food but within the past couple months have opened up their own wood fire oven and food menu. Think wood-fire pizzas, fries, smash burger and other options. Cocktail wise they have a huge variety of seasonal options and they are mostly broken up into categories including even spicy options. My wife went with their Lavender Haze, a lavender gin based drink while I went a unique savory option of Baby Carrot, a vodka based cocktail that was definitely orange like carrots and even had carrot garnish. Both were phenomenal with my wife finding a new favorite with the Lavender Haze. After trying those we decided on splitting a chicken pesto pizza. It came out cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of char & crisp. The crust was soft and pillowy enough so that my wife who typical skips out on eating the crust but she enjoyed all of her crust. Really well made pizza and look forward to trying even more versions in the future. Before leaving we wanted an additional cocktail to end the night. I went with the espresso martini which they offer black or with cream. While my wife got a Tiramisu Martini which was kinda a riff on the espresso martini. I did order the espresso martini with cream but it still was quite stronger than the majority of versions I've tasted. My wife's drink was the superior dessert cocktail. Overall we enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Especially keen on seeing both the fall and winter cocktail menus! A must visit distillery.

Absolutely fantastic- cannot WAIT to go back. Food great, drinks great, service fantastic! I have…read morebeen seated inside at high top and outside at marble table and would recommend both.

I recently visited Sweetgrass Winery & Distillery and had a very enjoyable experience. One of the…read morebiggest draws was their $1 tastings, yes, just one dollar for a taste of their ciders, wine and spirits, which is really fun and makes sampling without commitment super easy. The service was great, our server, Courtney, was exceptionally friendly, helpful in guiding us through the selection, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. I want to note, as a point of context, that in September the production facility of Sweetgrass's main operation in Union suffered a devastating fire. Despite that, the Portland tasting room remains open and functioning, which is a testament to their resilience. On the tasting side the variety was solid, and the $1 price point made it easy to try a bunch of things. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. If I were to pick one improvement, I'd say the tasting pours felt a bit light compared to some other spots I've been to....not a complaint, just an observation given the price point and expectations. In all, Sweetgrass is a strong pick if you're looking for a laid-back, local winery/distillery stop in Portland with friendly staff (shoutout to Courtney) and wallet-friendly tastings.

Sweetgrass Winery & Distillery is a farm winery and distillery that opened in Union, Maine in 2005…read more It was founded by husband and wife Keith & Constance Bodine. Keith has been in the alcohol business since 1992, and he earned his MS degree in Food Science and Enology. Constance has been called the heart, soul and brains behind the business. She spends most of her time in the fields, gardens and barns that produce the various ingredients used for making their wine and spirits. Sweetgrass is Maine's first farm winery & distillery; using over 70,000 pounds of Maine-grown fruit and grain each year. The distilled spirits are hand crafted in old world tradition with a copper alembic, still capturing the full flavors of their gin, rum, and traditional apple brandy. A secondary tasting room and retail shop opened on historic Fore Street in the Old Port section of Portland in February 2014. In September 2025, a debilitating fire destroyed the Union facility. The Old Port location remains open, but the future of the Union location remains uncertain. My extended family and I visited Sweetgrass's Portland location this past summer while we were vacationing in Maine. While exploring Old Port, we walked past their window and I said, "Hey, this looks like a cool place!" We went inside and signed up for a tasting. For just $10, customers can choose any five wines, ciders or spirits to taste. The five that I chose included "Maine Hard Imperial Cider" (Dry Cider), "Blueberry Smash" (Semi-Sweet Dessert Wine), "Back River Gin", "Cranberry Gin", and "Apple Brandy". The latter was easily my favorite of the tasting, but unfortunately they had no more bottles for purchase. I plan on ordering some online in the future. I am so happy that I discovered the Old Port tasting room by chance. I felt really bad when I learned later on that the Union location burned down. I'm happy to hear that no one was hurt and I hope that they are able to rebuild.
