What is a Maryland Wine Explorer?
A Maryland Wine Explorer is any enthusiast of Maryland wine who creates an account on the Maryland Wine Explorer page. This account is free to create and allows you to purchase Maryland Wine Explorer wines directly through our site.
With more than 100 wineries around the state—each releasing new wines with each vintage—it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the local wine scene without personally tasting your way through thousands of miles of our wine trails. As a Maryland Wine Explorer, the journey is brought directly to your door.
Opportunities to purchase wines using your Maryland Wine Explorer account include:
- Access to Maryland Wine Flash Sales
- Access to Curated Maryland Wine Packs
- Access to Maryland Wine Explorer Club Subscriptions
What Are Maryland Wine Explorer Flash Sales?
The Maryland Wineries Association hosts several exclusive wine engagements each year. Following these engagements, we may have a limited number of cases of fabulous and exclusive wines that we want to share with you. In these instances, wines are likely to be offered as “flash sales” to Maryland Wine Explorers. We’ll offer unbeatable pricing on these hard-to-get wines. Act fast, though! Once the inventory is sold out, we won’t be adding new inventory of these bottles.
As an introduction to the 2020 launch of the Maryland Wine Explorer Club, our first set of flash sale wines represents selections from the “Stay Home and Wine Down” virtual tasting event we hosted in July 2020.
What are Curated Maryland Wine Packs?
Our wine packs are hand-selected and represent a wide variety of wines, all made in Maryland. These wine packs showcase the terroir and grape varietals that make each of the state’s growing regions unique.
In addition to the quarterly red and white wine packs, we offer packs of wine highlighting holidays, seasons, and other notable occasions. What is a celebration without great-tasting wine?
I don't know what wines my friends/family like. Do you offer gift cards for sale?
Absolutely! Although the gift card recipient is not able to use the card to subscribe to the club, they can use the card for the Red, White and Themed packs regularly offered for sale, as well as Flash Sale wines that pop up for sale. Purchase a card HERE.
