Happy National Wine Day! What better way to celebrate than with an exploration of local Maryland wineries? Save the date for a full calendar of summer events at wineries near Baltimore. Better yet, plan your summer getaway at Gramercy Mansion and check a few vineyards off your Maryland Wine Passport during your stay. Bring a bottle of your favorite wine back to the Mansion to enjoy on the treetop deck, poolside, in the quiet shade garden or on your suite’s private porch!
