Sweetgrass makes 5 wild blueberry products using 5 to 7 tons of blueberries annually. As part of the wild blueberry weekend Sweetgrass will be providing a special tasting featuring all 5 of its popular blueberry products: Blueberry Cabernet Sauvignon, Maine Wild Blueberry Sangria, Blueberry Smash made with wild blueberry brandy, Back River Gin which uses wild blueberries in the botanicals and Blueberry Aromatic Cocktail Bitters. This special tasting is available in Union and at Sweetgrass Old Port in Portland. Outside and inside seating is available, no reservations required but group size is limited to parties of 6 or less.
