This is a lovely winery located in Western Maryland. The first I visited was about 4 years ago, so I was a bit surprised to learn the winery has become reservation only. We paid $16 for a 3 hour reserved table/seating in the interior of the property, well air conditioned, quiet, calm, and a good space to gather for co-work or catching up with friends. The exterior of the property had tiny greenhouses outfitted for 6 people for $65 reservation. We ordered the Cabernet bottle and split that to have 3 glasses each. The red wine was okay, maybe it was not for me, too dry, not robust enough in flavor, I'll have to try a different one next time. The hummus dish was DELICIOUS and the truffle pizza was AMAZING. I highly recommend anyone to visit, just be prepared in advance for making a reservation. read more

We love a local Marlyand wine with actually good wines! My friend has been a member here for a few years now, and this was my second time to visit. We ended up going on the HOTTEST day of summer so far and while it was 100 degrees outside, we had a lovely time sweating and drinking wine. Someone did pass out and an ambulance had to get called so we got ice soaked towels. You do need to make a reservation to visit, so make sure you book this before you make the drive! Old Westminster gives all the shiplap and cursive vibes of the 2015s era but it works. I find it charming and adorable. My friend has driven us both times as it's quite a trek from the city, a little under an hour. The drive is stunning to the area though, very verdant and it's really fun in the winter as they have those plastic igloo houses with blankets. The wines here a little on the pricier side to I guess make up for the cost. The bottles are around $40+ unless you get the piquette, which is made from the scraps of winemaking, which is actually lovely for $28. The food here is so good - the pizzas are stunning. We love the mushroom and the prosciutto and pineapple. The Mediterranean was a miss for me, it was too much sauce and the bottom was too soggy for me to enjoy it. The salads are also solid, we loved the caesar, super crunchy pieces of romaine with a delicious crouton dressing. They do have such fun coffee drinks here and I have yet to get one! I do love their whites and their pet nats are always solid. We loved the pet nat chardonnay this year, and if you're a member you get free flights of wines, so we benefitted from my friend's membership. Old Westminster does make a wine with Cookhouse now, and I cannot wait to try it! A must visit for those getting out of the city! read more

Love when I am pleasantly surprised by an experience. This winery was impressive. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. The individual seating areas allowed for an intimate and exciting atmosphere for conversation. Though it was outside it was very warm and comfortable. The wine was very unique and they had a little something for all wine lovers. The brick oven pizza was the perfect light meal for a three out tasting. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is beautiful and the staff are outstanding they handle everyone with care and grace.

I came here with two of my friends on a Saturday morning, and I loved it so much, I brought my family back the next weekend! If this place wasn't an hour away from me, I'd be here all the time! Lol. Both times were amazing visits with amazing service. I want to shout out Beth and Melissa who were great for my different visits. I did notice that there is plenty of staff, so it's pretty easy to get something when you need it. The wine was very good. My favorite is Trio. And the food is absolutely delicious! The carrots, the hummus, the hot honey pepperoni pizza, and the crème brûlée were my favorites. I would likely order those on every visit. They were just an overall lovely visits, and I can't wait to keep coming back! read more

I've been wanting to come to Old West for forever now! I finally came by with my friend in early October to celebrate our birthdays. It's important to note that reservations are highly suggested and it's a pretty far drive from Baltimore city (about 50 minutes). We were seated outside on the covered patio which was a little chilly, but luckily they supplied blankets. Nice touch! The service was pretty friendly and attentive. We each got flights so we could try a fair amount of wine. I got a mixed flight and preferred the whites over the reds. The reds were a bit too bold for me however, the Albariño ended up being my favorite by far. They also have a sparkling Albariño which was even better. I was pleased to find out they offer gluten free pizza, since the wood-fired pizza is famous here. However, the gluten free crust left A LOT to be desired. It was almost like a communion wafer with sauce and cheese on it. However, the macarons were delicious and I'd get those again, for sure. Overall, this spot is absolutely gorgeous and a welcome escape from the city. I will definitely be back. read more

Great winery! Highly recommended! Visited yesterday with some girlfriends, and it was apparently "National Drink Wine Day." Woot!! Reservations are needed in advanced and I mean months in advance. A reservation fee is required. It's definitely worth the visit! I've been wanting to come here for months! Ample on-site parking. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thanks Diana and Jenn! We got very warm in our greenhouse. Maybe I shouldn't have worn such a thick sweater! I enjoyed the "Just For Fun" flight, and it was pretty good. We ended up getting a bottle of the terracotta and the albarino. Food options aren't extensive but decent for a winery. Most of us got pizzas. There's charcuterie and other apps. The potato leek soup was popular with our group. At the end we got coffees and teas to go! I can't wait to visit here again. Perhaps for a date next time. Going to make a reservation now!! read more

Grab your girlfriends and head to this gorgeous and beautifully hidden winery. My goodness! Where can I begin with this fabulous winery!? The food was fantastic the brick over pizza tasted phenomenally. And the gluten free option was fantastic. We order a couple pizzas to share among us for the table. The mocktails were delicious and my friends enjoyed their wine . If you are looking for a mini girls getaway this is the oasis for you . Can't wait to visit again with my girls. read more

The greenhouses are SO CUTE!! I loved getting a little private spot to celebrate early valentine's day. The greenhouses are perfect for a date night or a girl's winery trip. The pizza was mid in my opinion hench 4 stars but the hummus bowl (portion was huge) and the leek soup was pretty good. Service was great. Our waitor came to check up on us very frequently. Almost too frequently haha. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience! read more

I am so excited to write this review! This place is somewhere I've been wanting to visit for a while. I found them on Google, then Yelp, and most important to some... Instagram. Unlike some establishments, this place looks exactly the same as it looks online, probably even better! They have a superconvenient parking lot right there at the winery. The winery is easy to find and has a welcoming entrance. There's a hostess stand as soon as you enter. That's where Kenzie greeted our party of 4 and was very nice. She took us to our gorge reserved table on the patio. Diane came over to greet us. 30 minutes later, Dawn took over. We had plenty of food and beverage options to choose from. I did a double order of the bread for the table, and we each ordered wine flights. I love the way our table person came out and explained a lot to us, and then when our wine person (AJ) brought the wine over to us, he explained the wines as well. - 2 Flights of: Just Whites (2022 After Hours, 2022 Salt, 2022 Trio) - Artisanal Bread - Glass: Trio - Flight: Just the Faves (2022 Albariño, Tapestry 77th Edition, 2020, Cabaret Franc) All of the wine options were impressively good. Amazing quality of taste. I didn't really get a chance to eat food items there, as I'm allergic to almost everything on the menu. The menu was seasonal, and I'm looking forward to next season's menu being more kind to me. Either way, I'm definitely returning. The customer service by Kenzie, Diane, Dawn and AJ was remarkable. Highly highly recommended! read more

Rented one of the greenhouses for my birthday. We were running late, but the staff was very understanding and made sure we were relaxed when we arrived. It was unseasonably warm that weekend so the greenhouse was a little too warm, but there helped us cool it down as much as possible. But the greenhouses are adorable and we didn't notice sounds from the other groups. The food was very good for a winery, most bring on food trucks. Service was friendly and we were checked on enough but they also just let us be and enjoy ourselves. As far as the wine, they're easily the best winery in Maryland. They gave us a free sample of the Salt and we ended up being a bottle. Also recommend the orange pet-nat. The staff is very good at offering recommendations, so while the flights are good, I'd recommend talking to them and choosing a bottle. You can't go wrong! read more

Had a great time at Old Westminste Winery! I came here on a Sunday with some girlfriends. Please make your reservations in advance as they were booked! Great service from Erin.

The aesthetic is awesome. Lovely heated outdoor greenhouses. The service was above and beyond they have so many servers and management actively checking on you, you won't go without anything. The food came out very fast. We got almost everything on the menu lol .... All farm to table which is always fresh and delicious. Lots of gluten free options. My only hang up was there no wine tastings at all which I feel is a disservice to the winery because tastings lead to buying bottles in which none of us bought a bottle ..... I did try the classic flight in which I enjoyed the 3 wines but not enough to look for them afterward to purchase. I then ordered an old fashion which was more ice than old fashion. The pizzas were absolutely delicious I tried the hot honey pepperoni and prosciutto and pear ..... 10/10. I also order the mushroom soup it was good just wish I had more mushrooms they were just a few as garnish. I do recommend it's a lovely gathering spot or date location. Just be prepared to blind buy the wine you're going to drink .... read more

I understand why this winery is so popular! I went for a friends birthday dinner after having it on my list for a while. She rented one of the larger gathering greenhouses for her party and it was so beautiful! You are able to reserve for up to 30 people and have a prefixed food and drink menu for your guests. The service was great; the waiters and waitresses checked on us frequently. I truly had a lovely experience! Whether going to have a larger party or a small evening out, you'll enjoy it. Reservations are recommended. read more

Old Westminster Winery has been on our list for a while. We originally weren't able to celebrate a friend's birthday in a cabana due to them closing for bad weather, and this was our make up for that. The cabana's have more than enough space and we were able to seat 6 comfortably. Be warned there are a bit of bugs flying around, but the cabana's have a fan and once we turned that one our food and drinks were no longer a target. We tried so many items from the wine flights, cheese board, hummus plate, salads, pizzas, desserts. Everything was amazing and had good flavor. The wine was good and the other cocktails they make, like the pumpkin espresso martini are all amazing. It is a bit of a journey to get there from DC, but it is well worth the visit. read more

An absolutely beautiful experience. The seasonal menu had some heavy hitters. My absolute favorites were the Honey Chèvre Toasts (goat cheese YUM!) and the Sun Dried Tomato & Arugula Pizza (we ordered another before even finishing the first). The Hummus Bowl gets an honorable mention. We probably couldn't have gone wrong with anything we ordered. Everything was fresh and we enjoyed it all. Everyone at the winery was kind and attentive which makes the service five stars! We had a wonderful evening celebrating my best friend. read more

My only complaint about this place is that it's not closer to NoVa, so I can't go as often as I'd like! We went here for our anniversary and were very impressed by the food, wine, and ambiance. We had to make a reservation quite a bit ahead of time, so I am not sure how it would work to try and get a table without one - I think it would be difficult, as they are so popular. We were seated in their heated, semi-outdoor space attached to the main winery sales room, and had a little couch area to ourselves. We each got flights, which I thought were very generous pour-wise, especially compared to some other DMV area wineries. We then each got an additional glass, and took home two bottles after the meal - the Pepper and the Salt, which are their red and white blends. Both were reasonably priced. The food was excellent - we got a variety of apps to split and then the corn and poblano pizza, which was incredible. It tasted very farm-to-table and was very seasonal, meaning their menu has probably already changed in the few weeks since we were there - but I think I would recommend almost anything off of this menu. We'll definitely be back with friends to book one of their little private outdoor spaces. I can't wait to try it! read more

First time visiting and we will be back! The experience was great from start to finish. The staff were courteous and attentive. The grounds spectacular and the porch a perfect spot. Special mentions to Diana and Maddie who took care of us during our time at the winery. We tried two different types of flights-Just For Summer and Just The Reds, along with pizza and dessert. The gluten-free pizza was tasty as was the regular crust. The desserts, cheesecake tart and macaroons finished the experience delightfully. Lastly it was refreshing to not be rushed through a meal and just savor each moment. We highly recommend a trip to the winery. You will be delighted! read more

Old Westminster Winery - Just getting started with our flights! - Wineries Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

According to their website, Old Westminster Winery is a family agriculture business established in 2010. In addition to the wines they grow and produce on their farm, they offer wood-fired pizzas made with the best local ingredients, curated cheese & charcuterie boards, salads, soups, and baked goods. Standout wines for me include the 1) 2023 Albariño, made from their local 100% Albariño grapes, is a very light and dry finish with hints of peach, apricot, and grapefruit and 2) 2023 Honey, a blend of 60% Voigner, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Chardonel grapes sweetened with locally grown wildflower honey. Needless to say, this wine was subtly sweet with strong flavors of honey, peaches, and lemon curd. Both wines pair well with a light summer salad or a grilled fish/poultry meal. Overall a great experience! read more

Truly loved my experience at Old Westminster Winery. The staff was great and kept the wine and food coming. Everything was extremely timely. I tasted several wines that I liked. The one caveat is that we feel like we drank a lot of wine but didn't get tipsy. I usually don't prefer to drink wine when I go out to eat because I get tipsy/sleepy. Since the here probably won't get you tipsy or sleepy, if you are someone who doesn't like how wine makes them feel, perhaps you may really enjoy their wine. To eat, we all got the sausage and onion pizza. I think a slight change to give it some more flavor would be to add some pepper (or another seasoning or garnish). The glazed cake was pretty good. Not too sweet and more on the drier side. The vanilla macarons were soooo good! I wish I had a bunch. My friends that got the potato and leek soup also enjoyed it. I really liked my experience here and would come back. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful. My friends and I reserved a holiday greenhouse and had a great time. Natalie, our server, was so sweet and shared the history of the land and the owners' family story. It felt good to support a family business that is dedicated to producing food and wines from local sources without all of the preservatives. Our group of five enjoyed a few flights, mulled wine, pizzas and macaroons. I started with the Just Reds flight and each selection was phenomenal. As good as the flight was, I enjoyed the mulled wine even more! It was like a warm sangria. If we're able to go back soon, I'll probably just stick to the mulled wine. I had the sausage and onion pizza, which I really enjoyed. One of my friends suggested drizzling balsamic glaze on the pizza and that made it even better. We also had the maple macaroons- too sweet for me but they were still pretty good. read more

The Old Westminster Winery after one visit has easily become one of my top 5 vineyards in the D(M)V. It's is a relatively short drive from Washington DC, and you suddenly find yourself in a beautiful setting with picturesque views. We made sure to make a reservation before visiting, and there was also lots of signage reaffirming that all guests must have reservations! So, to avoid disappointment make sure to have a booking. My friend and I both sampled two different wine flights, which were recommended based on your individual preferences. I prefer medium body dry Sauvignon Blancs- and I had the 'Just the Faves' selection which was great. From the seasonal menu, we had the Sumner Salad, the Peach, Burrata and Prosciutto and the Street Corn wood fired pizza. The pizza was the absolute highlight of the meal & a favourite of both of ours. There's nothing more enchanting than a family owned and run vineyard, and you certainly get that feel and vibe at Old Westminster Winery. I'm looking forward to going back again and trying more of their wines on offer. read more

We had a great time in the greenhouse. The wine was delicious, I would recommend a flight; if you're a dry red wine drinker like me I would recommend taking the Rev home with you. To be honest I wasn't expecting much food wise because usually wineries are hit or miss on food but I was wrong. The mushroom soup, hot honey margherita pizza (non-pork eater), and cheesecake were all delicious and I don't think it was the wine talking. We weren't in love with the skillet cookie but the ice cream on top helped us forget that. In the end they gained a new club member which means wine bottle discounts and free greenhouse rentals on top of the shipped wine 6 times out of the year. Also excellent service from our server Kia!!! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here! Note - you do have to make a reservation which is at least $15 for the table. Not a fan of that & wish they just took reservations without charging but it can definitely get busy so I can see why. The service was good - they were definitely checking on us to make sure we had enough cold water on the hot day. I got the Mediterranean pizza & we tried one of the caramel chocolate tarts. Both were good! I had a strawberry mocktail with was ok - glad to see nonalcoholic & caffeinated drinks on the menu. The menu definitely had something for everyone!

We had a great experience at Old Westminster Winery. Labre was amazing--attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and perfectly on point with her timing. Oki (if I got his name right) was also wonderful and added to the overall positive vibe. The ambience was great, the wines were enjoyable, and the atmosphere made for a really nice visit. The only thing keeping me from giving a full 5 stars is that I wish there were more items on the menu. Otherwise, it would be an easy 5-star experience. read more

I cannot recommend this spot enough. I came by today with my family. I have been wanting to come for years, but never seemed to find the right time! After making a reservation in advance, I was able to book a greenhouse for my family. The service was top tier. From start to finish, we were greeted warmly and directed to our greenhouse. And the service was friendly and kind. Despite our large group, slightly chaotic and filled with kids, our server was incredibly friendly. The ambiance inside was wonderful! So intimate with beautiful decor. And the menu was lovely. Filled with delicious and seasonal bites. I wish there were a couple more kid friendly options, however I get it with the ambiance of a winery! Highly, highly recommend this for a nice outing with a group! read more

I started going to Old Westminster years ago during my time at McDaniel College! I fell in love then and have continued to bring new and old friends back to enjoy the delicious food, high quality wine, and lovely ambiance and service.

Just Go! Who knew this cute and quaint winery existed?! I booked online about 30 days in advance. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and the waitress went over the origin of the different wines. I am not a drinker but decided to try a trio. I paired the trio of wines with a pizza and salad. The food was excellent and extremely fresh. After the meal, I tried the chocolate tart and coffee. I enjoyed everything. The ambiance is beautiful. The women's bathroom has a changing table - which is important to me because I brought my little one. After dining, we took a stroll along the small walk path. I definitely plan to visit again soon. read more
