Description:

Savage Oakes Vineyard and Winery is located at Barrett Hill Farm, in the rolling farmland of Union, Maine. The 95 acre diversified farm supports production of Belted Galloway beef cattle, pork, 15 acres of wild blueberries, as well as a vineyard with ten varieties of cold hardy, hybrid grapes.

The tradition of this farm dates to the 1790’s, and it continues today by creatively tying the roots of the past to progressive uses of today. In 2002, the current generation of owners, Elmer and Holly Savage, ventured into the relatively uncharted territory of viticulture in Maine. Maine’s harsh climate is difficult for growing grapes, but by utilizing an excellent site and selecting some of the most cold tolerant varieties, Savage Oakes’ vineyard has become the state’s most productive. In 2005 the first grapes were harvested and the winery established. Today, the award winning winery produces fifteen wines from grapes and wild blueberries, grown right on the farm.

A tour of the farm includes a stroll past wild blueberries where visitors see how Maine’s premier fruit crop is grown. Further on, the beautiful vineyard setting provides panoramic views of the Union countryside and the Georges River valley. See the herd of Belted Galloways grazing in the green pastures and visit with piglets or “Lettuce”, the pig whose personality has visitors returning to see her again.

Savage Oakes Vineyard and Winery may be small, but the memories made here are not.
