Experience the Beauty, the Magic, and the Flavor of the Patuxent Wine Trail.
The Patuxent Wine Trail presents the wineries of Calvert and St. Mary's Counties, bounded by the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. The birthplace of Maryland, the area is rich in history and flavor, home to many historical landmarks, lighthouses and quaint waterfront towns.
The region offers stunning water vistas and beautiful rolling farmland that will soothe the soul. The area's soil and climate are a close approximation of the famed Tuscany region, and local wine makers are creating sumptuous award-winning wines to rival those anywhere.
Every aspect of the region's charms are on display at the seven wineries on the Patuxent Wine Trail. Roam the trail and sample superb wines in a restored tobacco barn, on the slopes of a rolling vineyard or along the banks of a pristine creek. You will be treated with warm Southern Maryland hospitality and will take home a wealth of memories.
Vintage Southern Maryland!

About the Winery
SLACK wines are made for food. Smell the minerals rise, taste the freshness in your mouth, and then think what food you might want to pair. If you're born and raised on the Chesapeake, there's a simple answer to food: Maryland seafood.You can be anywhere in the world and find Maryland seafood on a menu. We're fortunate at SLACK Winery to have that seafood just off our docks and available year round. Our wines are perfect complements to Maryland oysters, blue crabs, rockfish and soft shell clams. Pink Shoals is exceptional with Hanora's Crab Cakes (the best crab cakes ever). Yellowlegs is terrific with Johnny Murphy's Corn and Oyster Casserole and Nana's Clam Chowder. And Slack Barbera makes summertime heirloom tomatoes taste like a slice of heaven. Dessert anyone? Try our Danny Boy Danny. SLACK wine, like Maryland cuisine, is informal, fresh and memorable.Join us for the pure pleasure and simple idleness that a special glass of SLACK wine allows.
