“Wine is sunlight, held together by water,” said Galileo, the notable Italian scientist and philosopher. It’s a viewpoint that still applies today. Just ask any of the Maryland winemakers at the nearly three dozen wineries in the state. Better yet, sample some of their products! Now is a great time to get familiar with Maryland wineries.
Enjoy Maryland's wineries, wine trails, events and festivals!
