What an incredible find. The owners took time out of their busy holiday schedule to entertain some questions and wine conversation. I will definitely be stopping back here. I only wish I lived closer!An amazing selection with the knowledge and passion to back it up.

Nice shop but an eclectic section for sure. I am hoping some day to find a Maine wine seller that offers a more global selection

A chill wine bar with friendly owners and a fabulous wine selection. Saturday wine by the glass is a great time to enjoy delicious wines with family or friends. Very glad my daughter lives in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

what a phenomenal selection! i love the focus on natural wines and small producers - if we want to drink well we need to support this place and its hand picked vintners. Got me a great vouvray and a lovely pink sparkling wine for a seafood lunch. superb.

This boutique is THE place to buy natural wine in Portland. Amazing selection, owner and staff were really friendly and provided great suggestions. A MUST in Maine.

Update: I did get my refund after being able to get ahold of them over the phone after multiple tries of getting voicemail. While I still think that the situation could have been handled better (gift card was sent the same day just an hour or two before they swinged by, you could see the receipt/amount on my brother's phone), at least I got my refund. My brother said the staff was rather unhelpful, and having worked in hospitality/dealt with Square issues before - there's always way to ensure customers have a nice experience. I sent a gift card to my brother who just got engaged in Portland and is leaving back home tomorrow. The wine shop said their POS is down and would not sell them a bottle even though they already have my money. I tried calling to get a refund and get sent straight to voicemail, I hope I can get my money back. I am soooo dissapointed that they ruined this moment for my family.

Just great wines from wholesome vineyards around the world. No over processed grocery store wine. Proof over and over that you don't need to spend a lot on a great bottle of wine. Look up dry farm wines online. This is your place.

Maine & Loire is our go to wine shop in town! We love going in to find a bottle for a special dinner, any kind of gift or just for fun! The staff is so welcoming and helpful and I love the wide selection of wine and accessible price ranges! Supporting a small/family owned business is also a plus.

We LOVE Maine and Loire! This wine shop single handedly got my husband and I through the pandemic. We hunkered down in Old Orchard Beach and it was such a treat and event for us when we would call the shop to select our options for what we wanted. The workers at the shop were always LOVELY and the experience was always so safe at pick-up. This past August my husband and I got married at the Portland Court House- just the two of us- and our first stop after our I do’s was to celebrate with a bottle of wine at Maine and Loire! They even accommodated an impromptu group of 8 as our families could not resist joining. Again, we LOVE Maine and Loire!

One of the best wine shops in Maine. They have a selection that you won’t find anywhere else. Everyone is very knowledgeable and helpful and always willing to give you in a hand in picking things out. Really awesome selection of wine, ciders and vermouths and great people to help you.

Hands down the best wine shop in the Portland area. Not only will you find a fantastic selection of natural wines, but you'll also find the kindest, most helpful folks who own and run the shop. I could not recommend Maine & Loire more highly.
