Ernest Hemingway observed, “Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.” If that’s true, northern Baltimore County and its outstanding wineries and vineyards offer wine lovers a civilized and inviting place to visit. Experience award-winning and hand-crafted wines at any of the County’s four family-owned wineries. Located in Hydes, Boordy and DeJon vineyards boast picturesque grounds and high-quality red and white table wines. Basignani Winery and Woodhall Wine Cellars, along the York Road corridor, produce classically styled wines from Maryland-grown grapes. Visit, take a tour, and enjoy the local flavor.
Enjoy special events and happenings at the wineries and vineyards. At Boordy, visit Good Life Thursdays and on Saturdays attend Midsummer Evening Concerts: http://www.boordy.com/events.
