More than 5,000 people attended last year's event. This is the 40th Anniversary of the Maryland Wine Festival, so we're hoping for a strong winery showing on both the Main Field and in the Explorer Village!
Fine wine, great music, fabulous food and unique crafts – The 40th Maryland Wine Festival offers all of this and so much more. More than 30 Maryland wineries gather so that guests may savor their favorite vintages, expand their palates and add new Maryland wines to their home collections.
Saturday, September 15 • 11 a.m.– 5 p.m. (Gates open at 10:00am, pouring begins at 11am).
