Focus on Maryland Wine

Each year the number of wineries opening up in Maryland increases.  While a few are closed to the public, many are open to the public. Wine tourists will enjoy a variety of different types of wine tasting experiences. Look for boutique elegant tasting rooms to the more rustic tasting rooms, each with its own charm. Other winery tasting rooms offer large spacious rooms. Many of Maryland’s wineries offer special public events and private events throughout the year.

The Maryland Wineries Association has a great informational website for wine lovers. In addition one of the pages allows wine enthusiasts to sign up to work at wine festivals.
