Are the buildings sparkling new with every imaginable feature or do they appear old and possibly renovated? Be sure to ask if the building had another prior use.<\/p>\n<p>Several of Maryland and Virginia wineries have accomplished this feat of reusing old buildings. In <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/maryland\/maryland.php\">Maryland<\/a> we have discovered several wineries that have been created using \u201cadaptive reuse.\u201d Frederick Cellars in Frederick was an ice warehouse built in 1904.\u00a0 In Manchester, Maryland, Cygnus Wine Cellars renovated and uses a building that was originally a slaughterhouse.\u00a0 Linganore Wine Cellars is located in a 120 plus year old barn. Terrapin Station Winery is also making use of an aged barn. Visitors to southern Maryland will discover that Friday\u2019s Creek Winery is located in a restored tobacco barn.<\/p>\n<p>In Virginia, <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/virginia\/vinthill.php\">Vint Hill Craft Winery<\/a> is located in what was first a barn built in the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century and by 1942 was part of a military base. Near the Chesapeake in Virginia, the <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/virginia\/hague.php\">Hague Winery<\/a> has several buildings dating back to 1835. <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/virginia\/miraclevalley.php\">Miracle Valley Vineyard<\/a>\u2019s tasting room is located on the first floor of a house built most likely in the 1880\u2019s. Likewise, the <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/virginia\/lagrange.php\">Winery at LaGrange<\/a>\u2019s tasting room is in a historic house.<\/p>\n<p>While it may or may not pay off in terms of the cost of renovating and adapting, it is environmentally friendly. Kudos to Maryland and Virginia wineries for protecting the past and looking to the future.<\/p>\n<p>Discover other wineries on the east coast that are creating wineries and tasting rooms out of old buildings.<\/p>\n<p>(Check out Regional Wine Week hosted by the\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #6a2a4c; border: initial none initial;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drinklocalwine.com\/\">Drink Local Wine<\/a> website.)<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!
