LINCOLNVILLE
Planners OK expansion of winery across street
Cellardoor Winery in Lincolnville plans to build a 9,000-square-foot winery and warehouse across the street from its current location.
The Lincolnville Planning Board approved the expansion Wednesday.
The new winery will have a large crush pad, stainless steel tanks, barrel rooms for aging wines, and a climate-controlled warehouse for storage. Christina Peet of Cellardoor said in an announcement about the project that more storage space will allow the winery to age its wines for longer periods and to experiment more with the aging process.
In 2009, Cellardoor produced 6,000 cases of wine. With the new facility, that number will rise to at least 9,000 cases.
The current facility at 367 Youngtown Road will be used for wine making classes.
