Elk Run Vineyard and Winery

Elk Run Vineyard and Winery, nestled in Frederick County's rolling hills, has earned over 800 international, national, and regional awards, solidifying its position as one of the top 100 wineries on the East Coast and Maryland's most acclaimed winery. Founded by Fred and Carol Wilson, Neill Bassford, and associates in 1983, Elk Run combines new world research and technology with traditional old world practices to produce high-quality wines from high-quality grapes. The vineyard's unique soils of schist and shale allow for deep roots and good drainage, while its 800-foot elevations protect against frost danger. Practicing sustainable agriculture on 25 acres, the winery achieves varietal character, structure, balance, and color in its wines. Visitors can enjoy a tasting experience at the cozy log cabin-style tasting room, where they may also interact with the friendly resident dogs. Reservations are required for groups of eight or more, and advance notice is appreciated for large parties or bus arrivals. With its intimate atmosphere and breathtaking views, Elk Run Vineyard and Winery offers a relaxing and enjoyable wine-tasting experience.
