Vineyard and Winery - The largest grower and producer of premium Maine grape wine. 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.
