Celebrating 15 Years!
We are thrilled to announce that we’re is celebrating our 15th anniversary this year! For the past fifteen years, it has been our privilege to share our passion for wine with the vibrant community of Maine, both locals and visitors alike.
Our journey began in 2010 with intimate wine tastings and fun private events, fostering a love for wine within our vibrant Maine community. We soon expanded, launching our flagship experience, Wine Sails, in 2012, providing guests with an incredible way of enjoying delicious wines and the beauty of Maine while sailing. In 2014, we introduced our Wine & Food Walks, a way to discover the award-winning restaurants that make Portland, Maine, a nationally recognized culinary city.
We continued to add exciting and new experiences each year. In 2015, we expanded our highly popular walks to include Bourbon Walks. In 2016, we began taking customers on unforgettable Small-Group Wine Region Trips. We signed on to work with Falmouth County Club in 2017 to create and maintain their extensive wine list and host ongoing wine dinners and Bourbon tastings. As did our customers, we had a front-row seat to the concentration of talent in Portland’s excellent restaurants. We envisioned a way to help bring even more customers through their doors, so with the help of some community-loving sponsors, we created Portland Wine Week in 2018.
And then, COVID-19. There were many weeks when we thought we would lose the business whose sole purpose was bringing people together through world-class wine experiences. We were concerned for our team, community, partners, customers, family, and friends. We pivoted to Virtual Wine Dinners and Sommelier-Curated Wine Deliveries in 2020, ensuring we could continue to share our love of wine and stay connected during challenging times. In 2022, we developed our monthly Wine Club, which delivers excellent wines and perks to nearby households.
Through it all, we are incredibly grateful to our loyal customers, talented partners, and dedicated team for making these past 15 years a resounding success.
We believe that wine is more than just a beverage; it's a journey of discovery, a connection to culture, and a celebration of life's special moments. This belief has guided us throughout our journey, inspiring us to continually seek out quality-focused wines, cultivate meaningful relationships, and create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all who share our love of wine and great experiences.
We are proud to be considered one of Maine's top attractions for both residents and visitors. As we embark on our next chapter, we remain committed to what we do best: curating unforgettable wine experiences that connect people to the beauty of Maine and the world of wine.
Join us in raising a glass to 15 wonderful years! To commemorate this special occasion, we are hosting a series of celebratory events throughout the year on the 15th of every month—starting TODAY!
