Gunpowder Wine Trail Associations 2023 Wine Cheese Event

Join us along the Gunpowder Wine Trail over the course of the first three weeks of November (1st -19th) for a unique wine and cheese experience. See below for each wineries hours of operation.

The four family owned Maryland wineries blended their locally hand-crafted wines with local Maryland dairy to create an artisan wine cheese made from Maryland milk and Maryland wine.

The Gunpowder Wine Trail runs from Northern Baltimore County through the countryside of Harford County and the city of Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Susquehanna. Along the trail, you’ll find unique local points of interests like Kilgore Falls and Rocks State Park. Restaurants abound with a range of choices and visitors often extend their stay at one of the many bed & breakfasts, inns or hotels along the way.

The wineries on the trail include Fiore Winery & Distillery, Harford Vineyard, Mount Felix Winery, and Royal Rabbit Vineyard.
