Discovering the wine region of Maryland

Maryland is an American state on the eastern seaboard, located between Virginia to the South and Pennsylvania to the North. It covers 32,000 km², from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to the coastal plains of the eastern Part of the state. The Chesapeake Bay, a large inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, dominates Maryland's coastline, almost splitting the state in two. The range of grapes grown in Maryland is remarkably diverse - the result not only of the diverse Climate, but also of 350 years of experimentation by the state's winemakers.

Well-known vinifera grapes perform well here, with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as prime examples. Barbera has also made it from Piedmont in northwestern Italy to Piedmont in Maryland; it thrives in the Warmer regions alongside its warm climate partners, Sangiovese and Viognier. Seyval Blanc and Chambourcin hybrids are also grown. Maryland now has over 250 acres of vineyards and over 75 small wineries.
