March is Maryland Wine Month
March is Maryland Wine Month
This March, oenophiles can celebrate during Maryland Wine Month at events and by visiting Maryland's 10 wine trails.
Maryland Wine Trails
Explore Maryland's Wine Trails, they are self-guided tours––and each winery offers a different experience. When you visit a Maryland winery you get to meet the winemakers and see how your favorite wine goes from grape to bottle. Spend a day (or a weekend!) in Maryland's wine country, or simply enjoy a leisurely escape among the rolling hills and beautiful vineyards. Taste our superb wines, explore our picturesque vineyards, and take part in our exciting events throughout the year.
Antietam Highlands Wine Trail
Meander through the mountains of Western Maryland and the heart of the Civil War while visiting nine stand-out vineyards. Don’t miss Cool Ridge Vineyards, winner of the 2017 Governor’s Cup. Visit Willow Oaks, where organic fruits become unique artisanal ciders and their awards include the 2018 Governor's Cup Silver Medal winner in "Pairing."
