We had a cocktail (Burnt Flamingo) and it was delicious!! I generally like sweet drinks, and my fiancé also likes sweet drinks but not as sweet. This was perfection! Sweet but not too sweet and just right in flavor. I hadn't had Vermouth before, so it was great to try that. However, what stole the show was the Jamon Serrano sandwich! WOWWW!!! As my fiancé said, "this is the best sandwich I've had in Baltimore!"" And pretty much every day since then, she's been thinking about that sandwich and when we get to eat that deliciousness again. Highly recommend!

This winery deserves all the awards and promotion that I've seen all socials .... However, when you know a major dmv social group (dmvdoes ) is hosting an event of 40+ people why is only 1 staff member working the whole night.? Our event experience (paid ) came with a glass of wine for all our guests. The wine was just put on a table without any explanation of the wine , grapes, or legacy. I brought several things for a raffle including the mayor bottle of wine , 2 tastings, and a wine flight for myself. There was no education or discussion about wine. Next, I ordered food and drinks before our event started and I didn't get my food until an hour after I arrived. Next , the suya was so tough I almost choked on a piece of it. The rice was decent but not a winner for me. Lastly, parking is limited to street parking or an outdoor parking lot up the street. It's a cute place to have a social event or a laid back wine meetup but definitely need more staff, wine education for visitors, and better food options.

The staff is sweet , the service is great and the decor and ambiance is absolutely stunning! Everything and I mean everything is beautiful here.

They knew their wines EXTENSIVELY and have the best customer service. The hummus plate I ordered inspired me to get the same items and make my own at home lol. The wine I had was delicious and tasted the same way it was explained to me. I'm not sure what kind of audience they are targeting, but when I went, it was mostly a 40 and up crowd (I don't mind). Aside from that, I will be back with my homegirls to enjoy more wine and food!

They close pretty early for a wine bar. My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon and had an absolutely lovely time. I love that they offer flights ($35 for 3). I tried most of the wines and really enjoyed them all, but serenity was my favorite. I loved how they incorporated goods and art from local business owners and artists. They had a small food menu with dessert flights, snacks, and charcuterie. We really enjoyed the playlist and the variety of places to sit. It was pretty empty while we were there.

I want to write an honest review while still being kind because this business is owned by such a…read morehardworking family with an admirable goal - to produce German wines that really no one else in the area is making. With that being said, there's a reason why no one is growing those grapes/making that wine. It really doesn't do well in our area unfortunately, and it shows in the wine. You then have to keep in mind that Maryland isn't exactly known for its wine country, so we don't draw in many good wine makers looking to make a reputation for themselves. It's an unfortunate situation for us Marylanders. My friends who aren't wine drinkers enjoyed their (affordable) tasting. Those of us who are more regular wine drinkers weren't looking to get additional glasses. The setting is beautiful and quiet. We were one of two groups who showed up in the 2-3 hours we were in the tasting room (that's more of a lovely, rustic event hall). Be warned - there's no walking path to the front door. You have to walk through a relatively long stretch of grass to get in. For us, it was a wet, freshly mowed stretch of grass. I'm grateful I didn't wear nice shoes and wouldn't recommend anyone wear any shoes they value here. A stone walkway wouldve been perfect but there isnt one. The wines are served in plastic cups which was fine given the modest setting. Don't expect fine glasses to swirl in. It nearly killed me when the glasses were rinsed with water between samples. They're technically supposed to be rinsed with a small amount of wine because the water will affect the flavor. I only know this from going to many wineries and doing my own tastings with friends at home. Id expect a winery to know this too. If you're looking for a quiet, low key setting to picnic with friends in the area, you should check them out. Personally, I'll stick to VA wineries (that are also 45 minutes from me and have more that suit my taste).

You get to see it all as you walk through the facilities from cooking the mash to bottling. Tours differ slightly with each tour guide, but show up curious and ready to enjoy. Outside of the tour, check out the shop for some neat gifts or additions to your bar. Also, check out the bar area for some well mixed whiskey cocktails and more. I got to enjoy the Blue Angels show from outside on the lawn. Look out for their summer and fall Whiskey on the Water event too! Think blanket, lawn chairs, food trucks, live music and whiskey styled a couple ways.

The class is about 1 hour long and you make 2 cocktails that feature their drinks. The staff is super welcoming and excited to help you learn. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything that is used as a mixer or addition to the drink is made in house. Super tasty. We made a tea based drink and then another one (see photos). Both were good. It was nice to have every single detail thought out and ready. The room where you are taking the class is very comfortable and has terrific views. We sat out on their lawn that is waterfront when we were done. Super nice area. They do have a bar that is on the premises as well. There was an outdoor bar, but it wasn't open when we were there (beginning of May). This would be a super fun place to come for lunch or just to hang out on the grassy area and watch the scenery. Parking could be an issue and you will have to pay. Keep that in mind for time management. Overall, a super fun thing to do. Highly recommend.

Booking was super easy and once that was done, I received regular emails from Vino 301 and texts until the day of the tour. We were picked up this past Saturday (4/20) at the appointed location and time. We boarded a very well appointed van with about 4 rows of seats that accommodated us all. I felt very safe on the rides to and from the wineries. Our host and driver were super friendly and treated us like royalty. Prior to arriving at each venue, we were provided some background and things we should know in advance. She more or less herded us from place to place, which was actually quite comforting. I felt very well taken care of AND seen as I was the only one on the tour not drinking, but I was provided water and other beverages over the course of the day. Oh, and the lunch we received was AMAZING. So much food! I had the roast beef BLT, which came with a bag of chips, pasta salad, and a dessert. Definitely recommend!

The prices for a drink and a small bite were fair - only $10 for a beer and side of fries - but nothing special taste wise. A buddy got wings and said they weren't worth the cost.

If you're looking for something to eat before your round, I would definitely check with the staff at clubhouse about food options first, but this is a great alternative if you're looking for a sit-down meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

We tried many wines, including: -the Crossvines Cabernet Franc-raisin and almost Nebbiolo overtones; -the Crossvines Barn Door red blend-balanced and warm with a hint of spice yet low tannin; -the Fairway rosé, which was light with great flavor and perfect with spring foods; -and the Riesling and then house ciders, with cherry and peach popular with different people. We settled on a bottle of the White Blend, the "Front Porch". It was not groundbreaking yet likable worked as a clean canvas that went with a lot of foods, not oaky, tangy, sweet, or dry. I enjoyed the butternut squash soup. I watched my friend enjoying the Farmer's Market salad and wondered if I should have gotten that instead! My friend enjoyed her burger and fries. The burger was pretty big and looked satisfying. My friend said the crab dip was really good, too. The best part for me was trying their wines while engaging with our server and the general manager. We talked about some of the events like wine tasting and menu changes and line dancing. We saw more of the gorgeous venue and bookable space for 300 indoors. It was relaxing and enjoyable and while I couldn't eat many items due to a wheat allergy, I definitely wanted to return soon and enjoy the backdrop and support a local winery.

He provided a lovely charcuterie snack for us. He was a wealth of knowledge about wines and wine making and the history of the area and the beautiful vistas. As you can see, I could go on and on!! I have already recommended Carlos and Hipstoricdc to others!! Thank you Carlos for such an amazing experience!
