Best Wineries Near D.C., According to Eater Editors | Eater DC
"Roughly 60 miles outside of D.C., find Big Cork Vineyards at the end of a winding drive through the hills of Rohrersville, Maryland. Its sleek, USA Today-endorsed tasting room features a grab-and-go market with a variety of cheeses, fresh bread, crackers and charcuterie available for purchase (check their Instagram ahead of time for specials like pre-selected cheese boards). Children and dogs are both welcome, and one-hour tasting tours with sips of special releases are $50 per person (or $20 for just tastings at the bar). Nestled on 100 rolling acres among the Blue Ridge Mountains, its award-winning farm grows 18 grape varietals and produces more than 25 types of estate wine. Hours are Thursday to Monday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and until 9 p.m. on Fridays, with a monthly summer concert series in the works." - Tierney Plumb
