I am a wedding photographer and I always love weddings at the Vista of Maine. The sunsets are just breathtaking. There are tons of photo spots. The weathered wood by the barn, the rows of apple trees. It's really so pretty there!
Beautiful views great ciders and delicious wine. Better than that, the hostess we shall call her was a delight honest funny, and lighthearted. Came in at end of business for a quick first-time time scope out and we weren't disappointed!!! Looking forward to our second trip!!!
These photos don't do it justice, it was .freezing cold that day and the winds were rugged. I took these from my car through the windshield!!
At the very least go, have a glass, scope it out and when you get there you will be like us, trying not to squeeze the car full 😉
We just had our wedding at Vista this last weekend and it was incredible. Staying the weekend and having the farmhouses as options for our wedding party made our day so much fun! Christine and Lara went above and beyond and made us feel like family! The views are breathtaking, cider is delicious, such a welcoming environment and was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. The barn was perfect. Christine did an incredible job communicating with me throughout the day to make it organized and smooth. I wish we could do our wedding day all over and thank you Vista of Maine for creating the best memories for us! We will certainly be back and the Vista has a special place in our hearts!
What a beautiful cidery, located in Greene, Maine. Owned by Ricker Hill Farms, the Tasting Room is located in a large red barn, built in 1833 by the Hill family. Many varieties of Ricker Hill hard cider are available, along with wine and sweet (non-alcoholic) ciders.
My favorite was the Maniac 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!
Super cool orchard and tasting room with amazing views! Definitely sit outside weather permitting, enjoy a flight or 3 and take in the panoramic views!
I'm so glad we found this hidden gem while vacationing in Maine. This Vineyard and Cidery is absolutely beautiful. The lady that greeted us was the nicest and friendliest plus so helpful in suggesting the different Wines and Hard Ciders because they have an awesome selection of Hard Ciders too. I just feel bad I can't recall her name now. The Cranberry Wine is great and so is the Cranberry and Blueberry Hard Cider, tried all of the Hard Ciders and loved them all. They make the best Ciders anywhere. The View is breathtaking. Will definitely visit again when vacationing in Maine.
We had our wedding at Vista on July 6, 2019. It was nothing short of magical. The views are what initially drew us to host our wedding at Vista but they offer so much more. The staff was amazing from start to finish. They met with us and our vendors prior to the wedding for multiple tours. They answered my many questions promptly and were always willing to work on our special requests. The wedding barn is a perfect location. It rained on our wedding day and having the barn available for a plan b ceremony was a lifesaver. And the rain created THE most amazing sunset our photographer had ever seen. Having a dedicated bridal suite was a huge bonus as is having a farmhouse to rent. We rented there and stayed for the long weekend. In fact, we loved it so much we have already booked for our anniversary weekend next year. Huge props to the staff at Vista for making our special day perfect!
The beauty of Vista of Maine makes it a pleasure to return to each day to work Visitors sit and share their day with us. Each wedding couple transforms the Wedding Barn in different ways. The sunsets are spectacular.
Such a beautiful view! Delicious cider and snacks, and a pretty place to sit and relax while the sun sets. They also have love outdoor music on occasion as well as an event venue.
