THE PATUXENT WINE TRAIL
Calvert County is known as the Pleasant Peninsula, and you will soon see why after experiencing the sublime pleasures of the Patuxent Wine Trail. Part of historic Southern Maryland, Calvert County offers stunning water vistas and beautiful rolling farmland that soothes the soul. The region's soil and climate are also a close approximation of the famed Tuscany region of Italy, and local wine makers are creating sumptuous award-winning wines to rival those anywhere.
Every aspect of the region's natural wonders is on display at the five wineries on the Patuxent Wine Trail. In Northern Calvert County, Fridays Creek Winery is situated on a working farm near the narrow reaches of the Patuxent River. Head south on the trail to Running Hare Vineyard to find rolling hillsides full of vines in tableau straight out of Europe. Farther south, at Perigeaux Vineyards & Winery, take in the scenery amidst lush woodlands between the Patuxent River and St. Leonard Creek. The southern tip of Calvert County features Cove Point Winery just south of the verdant Calvert Cliffs State Park near the Chesapeake Bay, and Solomons Island Winery on Hungerford Creek near the lower Patuxent River.
Roam through the tour and sample superb wines in a restored tobacco barn, in the folds of a gently sloping vineyard or along the banks of a pristine creek. You will be treated with warm Southern Maryland hospitality and take home a wealth of memories.
