Looking for your next great wine adventure? Sample a variety of Maryland’s vinicultural offerings this weekend at the Great Grapes festival near Baltimore.
Great Grapes! Wine, Arts and Food Festival
June 13-14, 2009
12 noon - 6 pm
Oregon Ridge Park
Cockeysville, MD
Celebrate Maryland wine with tastings from more than 20 wineries (200+ wines!). The festival also include local culinary favorites, organic farm products and local cheeses, cooking and wine pairing seminars, loads of handmade crafts and live jazz, blues and oldies music on two stages.
Where the heck is Cockeysville?! It’s off I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway) near Towson, MD. If you’re making the drive from Virginia – or even elsewhere in Maryland – and want to spend the night, you can find more than just a no-tell motel in Cockeysville. The Marriott has rooms available for $129 (http://www.marylandhotels.com/cities/Cockeysville/hotel/49233/) and the Embassy Suites has 2-room suites for $139 (http://www.marylandhotels.com/cities/Cockeysville/hotel/46406/).
This event is brought to you by the same folks who organize the Great Grapes festivals at Reston Town Center (VA), so you can expect a similar scenario.
Festival tickets are $18/advance online (through June 11); $22/at the gate. Kids 12 and under are free. Visit www.uncorkthefun.com or call 800-830-3976 for more information.
Think globally. Drink locally.
