Have plans for this weekend? No? Me too! Looks like we have our choice of events:
TONIGHT – if you’re getting a head start on your weekend, I can recommend Boordy’s Good Life Market. Wine, burgers, local products, and live music from 4-8. And you don’t even have to pull out your tux.
If one night of wine, food, and music isn’t enough, Layton’s Chance is hosting a Happy Hour and buffet – with karaoke! – from 5:30 to 9 on Friday. It sounds like a good, low-key affair – at one of Maryland’s newest wineries.
Also Friday night, Legends Vineyard is coordinating a cruise on the skipjack Martha Lewis from 7-9. Gotta love them for going above and beyond the typical wine-tasting-and-food routine. Information is a little sparse online, but reservations are required, and a phone number is listed.
Eastern Yacht Club holds their Bayside Blues and Wine Festival Saturday from 1-7 in Middle River, featuring blues, zydeco, rhythm and blues, Maryland wines, and beautiful views of the bay. (via East Coast Wineries)
For the landlubbers among us, a little more inland is the Briggs Chaney-Greencastle Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market in Silver Spring. Open from ten til two on Saturday, they’re hosting a tasting of international foods and Maryland wines. (Note: The listing on VisitMontgomery.Com says it’s free, but I’d trust the admission information from the Market’s website: while admission to the market is free, the tasting is $15, or $10 in advance. )
There are tons of other events going on this weekend, and occasionally during the week: this is just a sampling. We won’t post an event round up every week, so I suggest bookmarking Maryland Wine’s Events Page and the calendar page of your favorite winery. Enjoy!
