Sawyer's Specialties

Sawyer's Specialties Wine and Cheese Shop located in Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor. Hours available on website

In the center of Southwest Harbor is the wonderful collaboration of Scott and Jennifer Worcester. Sawyer's Specialties (1996) provides Mount Desert Island and Downeast communities over 2,000 delicately, personally selected wines, a large selection of gourmet cheeses, olives and specialty products. At Sawyer's Specialties, our knowledgable staff offers several individualistic features that include

everything from wedding/event planning, to wine cellar appraisals. As foodies ourselves, we can recommend the best places to eat, drink, and hold events on Mount Desert, as well recommend the best catering services available. We look forward to hearing from you and sharing our passion of food in wine with you.

30 YEARS! 🍷 That's how long Scott has been slinging wine and wisdom in our Southwest Harbor location!

We are so incredibly thankful to all of our customers, friends, families, suppliers, and neighbors who have supported Sawyer's Specialties over the last three decades.

Swing by either store today from 10am-2pm to grab a sip of whatever bottles Alexi and Liz have open as we celebrate this milestone.

🥂 Cheers to many more bottles of wine with our island community!
