Say Cheese

In our opinion, cheese is perfect for any occasion. Serve Maine-made cheeses as appetizers or dessert at your holiday gatherings, or bring cheese for your host. Check out the Maine Cheese Guild to find a creamery near you. Bonus: pair with some Maine charcuterie and some of those blueberries you are storing in your freezer!

Wine, Beer & Cider

Whether you prefer bubbles, red, or a dry white- explore the many wineries Maine has to offer. A visit to a tasting room is a fun and festive experiential gift idea for a friend. Keep a few bottles on hand for whatever festivities occur! Into beer? We all know Maine boasts some fantastic breweries- many of which use Maine-grown grains and hops! Use your next holiday party as an excuse to try a few new Maine beers. Serve flights to your guests and find your favorite new holiday brew. Round off your libations menu with some cider- perfect for any occasion. With such an extensive variety of apples grown in the state, ciders (and even some cider bars!) are becoming more and more popular.
