Vista of Maine Vineyard & Cidery Reviews

The vista of Maine was the absolute perfect place for our wedding! Everything was beautiful and we could not have been happier with our venue choice.

Vista was an ideal spot for our wedding. The rustic barn and stunning views were the backdrops for a most wonderful day. The staff is flexible, accommodating, and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Alicia was extremely helpful
with answering questions and setting up visits throughout the planning and prep time. The homeymoon suite was beautiful and the house was great to have for the wedding party. Having the weekend to take care of everything allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day. As a whole we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the Vista of Maine!

Still on cloud 9 after being married at Vista of Maine last Saturday. The views, the orchard, the barn - everything is absolutely breathtaking, and all of our guests were impressed with the gorgeous sunset and mountain views. We wanted a venue that was spacious and allowed for an indoor/outdoor flow with plenty to see and do. Vista of Maine was everything we hoped for. Alicia and Barbara were so helpful, checking in throughout the planning process and answering any questions we had. Can’t forget to mention they make amazing cider and apple cider donuts, which we incorporated into our big day and they were a HUGE hit. I would highly recommend this venue...you won’t regret it!!

My husband and I had our wedding here on Sept. 8th. We had booked with Alicia two and a half years prior to our wedding at a point where the venue was still being created into Alicia’s “vision.” We put our faith in the Ricker family to deliver on their vision, that we talked about during our first visit, and were nothing but impressed with the transformation! Alicia is so great and easy to work with! She was very accommodating to us, helping with nearly anything we might have needed to make our day go smoothly. The venue is absolutely stunning and, no matter where you are in the property, the views are incredible! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about Vista of Maine! We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding!! Thank you, Alicia, for everything and helping us make our dreams come true! We can’t wait to come up and visit again!

This is a hidden gem of wedding venues in Maine. My (now) husband and I just had our wedding here this past weekend and it was truly better than we could have ever imagined! Our guests could not stop talking about how perfect of a setting it was. Alicia was so helpful & quick to respond throughout the entire planning process. The views are indescribable, the barn comfortably fit our 120 guests, and the ceremony site was unbeatable. We would absolutely recommend them!

So to begin with, this was the most special spot my wife and I had found after an exhausting search throughout all of New England. The venue is perched atop a hilltop, overlooking mountains and a beautiful lake and is surrounded by rows of apple trees and wine vineyards, which made it so special. There's also an absolutely gorgeous barn that easily fit our 175 guests plus a live band. There is just so much sprawling outdoor space to take advantage of here, which is exactly what we were hoping for. But the real treat was being able to work with the Rickers who own this working farm. They were SPECTACULAR, always easily reachable and responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day was just that. A special side note - the Rickers also own their own cidery, so we included a number of non-alcoholic and hard ciders (blueberry cider?!?!!) that was a hit at the wedding. How this venue is somewhat off the radar still is beyond us, but we felt we found a special, unspoiled and absolutely unspoiled oasis within the heart of Maine! Highly highly recommend!!!

The most stunning views you will find in all of Maine!

I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Vista of Maine! The property is beautiful and filled with views of mountains for miles. It also over looks the majestic Sabattus Pond. The barn was transformed into a stunning & elegant space for our guests to eat & dance. Vista of Maine also provided the perfect end to the evening in the traditional Maine style of a large bonfire. My guests enjoyed dancing on the dance floor in the barn and also outside by the fire! It made for a truly remarkable and unforgettable wedding day!

You could not ask for a better location with the views, houses on site and the barn. It’s got everything for a barn wedding.
