The Vineyards at Dodon

The Vineyards at Dodon is a 555-acre working family farm located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, owned by the Dodon Land Trust and managed by Polly and her six siblings as trustees. The winery's philosophy centers around blending traditional farming with modern science to achieve exacting winemaking standards. Their approach emphasizes the importance of their relationship with nature, evident in their commitment to preserving farmland through a trust agreement that restricts significant changes to the property. This effort is further reinforced by an easement agreement with the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation, which limits non-agricultural uses on most of the land. The winery offers a seated tasting experience, available by reservation on Fridays from 4-8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-6 p.m., as well as guided tours and tastings every Saturday and Sunday. The Vineyards at Dodon also hosts events, such as the Regenerative Viticulture Conference, and has a Wine Club that connects members through shared interests in wine and nature. Their website features articles on topics like regenerative viticulture, environmental conservation, and the intersection of agriculture and social justice, reflecting their commitment to sustainable practices and community engagement.
