    If you're looking for a high quality tasting room on sixty acres of beautiful country in Maine, this is your place. If you think cider is too saccharine sweet and simple, this is your place. If you don't want cider, and instead prefer high end custom, unique cocktails, this is your place. If you don't want cider, cocktails or wine, but beer, this is your place. If you want a staff that isn't just pulling taps but can give you context and history of your curated choice, this is your place. If you want a unique getaway, close to but just far enough outside Portland it's not overrun, this is your place. In short, if you like high quality beverages served by a high quality staff in a high quality venue, this is your place. There's a reason that the majority of the ratings are five stars. It's that good.

    Bucolic setting with tons of open space, a great barn with seating and friendly chickens

    Go out of your way to get here. There literally is something for everyone. We met the owners when we got here and learned about their beautiful place. They are so knowledgeable about ciders, beers and can make a mean mixed drink! We will be back and already making plans to. By far one of my favorite places in central Maine!!

    Been years awaiting this trip to Absolum cider and despite the 5 hr trek, it was worth the drive. My wife and I are huge cider fans, and stop in at cideries whenever given the chance. Absolum is in our top 3. From the working farm ambiance, to the delicious cideries, full bar of unique liquors and variety of beers and wined this was everything we couldve wanted and more. Looking forward to cracking our souvenir bottle on a special occasion!

    Amazing place with great cocktails, cider and more. They are dog friendly and super nice. Highly recommend, you must stop here if you're in the Winthrop area!

    Hidden rustic gem with a large amount of inside and outside space. Excellent selection of unique home-brewed ciders that are amazing! They additionally have a large selection of charcuterie platters, wine, specialty ice ciders, and beers on tap. If you're a cider lover you MUST try this place!

    Paradise found! And even though I'm tired of saying it, what took me so long to get here?! Amazing owners, fermentors, serving succulent ciders with varieties and mixtures (wines, etc.) in a pastoral rustic, yet comfy, setting. The small beer list is also surprisingly interesting. But then they also have local charcuterie available in their deli case to go or eat in. I looked at the prices and thought it looked like Portland menu; however, he proceded to drop off the ENTIRE local sausages, wheels of cheese, and loaves of bread on our live edge table!! Gave us knives and said "enjoy, dig in." Wow. But then he told us we are welcome to bring our own food for outdoor picnics. And then we could bring our dogs. And then food trucks also visit regularly. And there are firepits. The entire campus is heated by a wood boiler from scavenged downed wood, too. Oh boy, we are going to spend some time here!

    This spot produces Ricker Hill hard cider and those ciders were some of the first hard ciders I…read moretried many years ago. Despite that, this was my first actual visit to their tasting room. It's very much off the beaten path but an absolute worthy spot of taking a detour for! The dirt roads were very well maintained though I must say. Once you arrive they have a giant parking lot and then once inside you step into a beautifully designed rustic space. If the weather is nice they have some absolutely stunning views you can take in outside while enjoying your beverage. During our visit, I will say a large portion of the space was in use for a party/event. Despite this the staff were very warm and welcoming to our party and even tried to create a private lounge like space for us. I very much appreciated the effort they put to make us feel welcome. I wish the weather would have been a little nicer to enjoy outside! I got their vanilla hard cider while my wife got their blueberry hard cider. Both were phenomenal. They also offer flights for only $10 and even have suggestions for some mixing of ciders including a fan favorite mix of blueberry and maple to create a blueberry pancake. I have had this blend previously and it is amazing! A spot worth adding to your list to visit for the breath-taking views and delicious drinks!

Upon arriving I was torn between that and the filet, asparagus and roasted potatoes. In the end I decided to bite the bullet and spend $56 on that since it sounded delicious. Boy what a mistake. My medium well done steak was well done. The asparagus was sub par and there were 4 tiny roasted potato pieces as well as pickled mushrooms. Everything was so dry! I asked for some bleu cheese dressing but all they had were crumbles. I asked for a soda to wash it down. The water was warm. I never got the soda and proceeded to eat the meal because I paid almost $60 for it! My daughter's girl dinner was cute with a tiny salad, Alfredo, a cosmo and tomato mozarella in small martini glasses. She ate it all and was still hungry. When offered dessert at $12 we opted to stop for a huge ice cream on the way home. Am I glad I tried it? Yes. Would I ever have a need to return with Sedgley Place down the street? Absolutely not.

    What a amazing experience. My wife and I went to Portland to visit Maine (we fell in love with it…read morea few years ago and wanted to check out Portland). She searched for things to do and found this tour and I am sure glad she did. We did the biking tour with Don and it was wonderful. Was able to taste some local mead, beer, and rum and see parts of Portland. He was extremely friendly, fun, and informative. I am not going to lie...I was a little bummed when my wife said she booked this tour instead of the earlier biking brewery tour (visit 3 local brewery's as opposed to our scheduled mead, beer, and rum tour). But it didn't matter, it was a amazing experience. In fact, our guide pointed out man local establishments on the tour that we tried the next day (cough..cough..Forage Market) and was amazed; it truly added to our Portland experience. And we have a tour for the next time we come. All in all...6 out of 5 stars for this organization. I wish I was able to post some pictures, but to be honest, I didn't think about it as I was immersed in the moment and enjoying every second of it. So when in Portland...book your tour, you won't be sorry.

Thankfully we made it for their last open weekend for 2021! Service was extremely friendly - and we learned a ton about the winery and their practices. My husband listened to a podcast about the winery (which is why we'd wanted to visit), and the owner used to plow only using a horse. They have since switched to more modern ways - but I love that their wines are all-natural and with as minimal intervention as possible. The wines themselves are fantastic!! We had a 1/2 pour of each of the six offerings (sparkling white morphos, sparkling rose morphos, Chardonnay, cab franc, merlot and a cider) and I truly was surprised to find they are all GREAT!!! The sparkling white and Chardonnay were my favorites, but the reds were nice and dry and full of flavor. The cider was also dry and tart - it is lovely! The rose morphos was a bit too sweet for me, but tasty nonetheless! We will absolutely be back next time we are in the area!
