November 1 - November 17
Join us along the Gunpowder Wine Trail over the course of the first three weeks of November (1st -17th) for a unique wine and cheese experience.
See below for each wineries hours of operation.
The five family owned wineries blended their locally hand-crafted wines with local Maryland dairy to create an artisan wine cheese that is a customer favorite each November!
The Gunpowder Wine Trail runs from Northern Baltimore County through the countryside of Harford County and the city of Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Susquehanna. Along the trail, you’ll find unique local points of interests like Kilgore Falls and Rocks State Park.
