Breweries and Wineries

Blacksmiths Winery

William Watkins apprenticed as the South Casco blacksmith in his late teens. As the village smithy, he worked long hours, and neighbors saw sparks from his forge well into the night. He was notorious as a demanding craftsman, even making his own nails as he insisted machine-made nails were no good.

Blacksmiths Winery opened 140 years later at the same location. Come visit the original Watkins' home, and barn. While you're here, be sure to sample our award winning wines. We like to think that each one continues the blacksmith's spirit of craftsmanship.

Blacksmiths has now produced its seventh vintage of 20 different wines, including three sparkling wines, two Port style wines and both stainless-steel and small French oak barrel fermented grape wines.


Located at Route 302 and Quaker Ridge Road, opposite the Cry of the Loon Shops in South Casco. Visitors can sample the wines May 1 through December 31 daily from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sundays Noon to 5:00 p.m. January 1 through April 30 Thursday through Monday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Sundays Noon to 5:00 p.m.


Royal River Winery

In 2004, Royal River decided to turn their wine making hobby into a business. They converted a two-car garage into a production space and a tasting room. Royal River has not changed the production style and continues to make the wines in small batches. They offer three wines at this time: Ocean Diva, Big Woods Red and an Ice Wine.

Right now, Irene decided to experiment with a new product, an aperitif she discovered while visiting family in France. She is adapting the recipe to make it a true Maine product. It will be available for the holidays.

The Winery is a family venture, Erik and their nephew, Chris, are the vintners and all around producers. Irene is in charge of orders, deliveries and everything else that needs to be done. Maguy, Irene's sister, keeps it going. Annalisa, Erik and Irene's daughter is the inspiration.
