The long drive through the vineyards that leads visitors to the tasting room...Dew-laden bunches of Chambourcin ripening on the vine...Wine-stained casks aging next year's award-winning Cabernet... The festivities of holiday parties in the cellars... Maryland's wineries and vineyards are beautiful sights in all seasons. And the scenery only gets better as the activity begins at harvest and into winter. See the winning photos from the the current and past Maryland Wine Photo Contests.
