Bathroom floor has leaves decoration on it. I meant to get a picture of this, but I forgot to, and it was too embarrassing to go back to get the pic later on because I was the only customer in the building at the time and I would've felt too weird asking to use the facilities so soon (unnecessarily) or to ask if I could take a picture of leaves decoration on a floor. The entire building has a rustic farm house look inside, but everything is clean and comfortable and not "rustic" or "rural country" in a dirty sorta way.

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!

She also ran my credit card and added the tip herself, albeit only 15% I found that a bit odd as I probably would have tipped more. We both ordered a flight to find out one of each of our choices was not available. We both picked a cider instead - big mistake. Super sweet and medicine taste. The flight was poured out of cans, taps were not being used for some reason and some of our choices were poured out of cans sitting from the day before. We were the first customer of the day and got served day old beer for part of our flight, kinda gross. Glad we stopped in but I'd pass on this one.

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!

Many varieties of Ricker Hill hard cider are available, along with wine and sweet (non-alcoholic) ciders. My favorite was the Mainiac Mac Blueberry cider, made from a blend of fresh fermented apples and fresh Maine blueberries. This drink embodies the Maine wild blueberry taste that I love! It drinks sweet and tangy, a flavorful kick for your taste buds. The panoramic vista affords 360 degree views of Sabbatus Lake, the western mountains of Maine, and Mount Washington. Beautiful scenery and delicious cider. A great way to enjoy an afternoon or evening!

Another nice aspect was the free recipe with spice packets, free chocolate tasting and free coffee grounds. All these were very tasty. So I have confidence their food was probably good, though we did not order any. The drinks were quite horrible. There were two of us who stopped in. One tried the spirit flight and the other the mead and kombucha flight. Nothing was good to either of us. I've never left a spirit behind, but this time I had to. The offerings were just terrible to taste. Hopefully they'll get some better local businesses to support their drink offerings in the future.

Think of it as a large farm with a rustic barn with roaming chickens everywhere. Even a few chickens inside greeting all the guests during our visit! The feel and look of the barn reminded me and my wife of our barn wedding! Definitely a spot during nice weather with so much space available and so much nature to soak up! Then their drink offerings are so huge and vast especially for this area of Maine. Give their house made ciders a try that are not too sweet but have tons of flavor. If cider isn't your thing then don't worry they still got you! Their drink menu is huge with beers from all over the world, wines, cocktails, and on and on. Then often they also have food trucks so grab a bite to eat or bring some of your own snacks if the food truck of the day isn't your ideal meal! The staff were phenomenal as well with their kindness and knowledge. Also often hosting live music as well so bring your friends and family for a night of drinks, live music and enjoying the outdoors. This place is a must try if you are in the area but I think it's also worth the trip even if it's a little further out! I look forward to our return trip.
