Then we speak with Erica Archer, founder of Portland Wine Week. The first Portland Wine week took place in 2018 with great success. 2019’s event was even bigger, attracting the attention of travel and food writers far beyond the borders of Maine. The third annual Portland Wine Week kicks off on June 14th—and already, Conde Nast Traveler has listed Portland, Maine as one of their “Top 12 Places to Travel in June,” specifically BECAUSE of this event.
