TerroirSomme

TerroirSomme began in 2023 to meet a market desire for the improvement of wine related services for both personal home imbibement and business related beverage programs. Current partnerships have included special events hosted at Enoteca Athena (Brunswick, ME), Bisto Milliard (Hallowell, ME), and The Harpswell Schoolhouse (Harpswell, ME), as well as spearheading Brunswick Wine Week, which featured community involvement from local establishments such as 555-North, Pub 165, The Abbey, Enoteca Athena, Vessel & Vine, Tess’s Market, Taverna Khione, Bao Bao, and Flight Deck Brewing.

Focused on bringing quality experiences to local and international clients, TerroirSomme seeks to highlight wines and beverages that have a sense of place and purpose, including indigenous varieties, biodynamic and organic practices, historical significance and quality over quantity.
