Whether you want to taste your way through the region’s best wine, pick out a bottle for your next group getaway, or bring some friends together for a night on the town, Prince George’s wineries, wine bars, and wine experts have got you covered. You can book a private event, join a local festival, and so much more. If you’re a wine lover, you’ll love this region.

Try one of these five wine-focused experiences in Prince George's:

 

  1. Sip and snack at a classic neighborhood wine bar. Era Wine Bar in Mount Rainier is a friendly, open space to enjoy expert-picked wines from around the globe. Order the stuffed welcome dates, goat cheese crostini, or the pan-seared rockfish — or any of the other carefully crafted menu items — to match your choice from the equally curated wine selection. Pop by during Wine O’Clock, the bar’s version of a happy hour, for great deals on favorite pours or signature cocktails.

 

  1. Follow the path of the region’s best vineyards. The Legacy Wine Trail is a collection of the region’s best wineries and vineyards. If you take a few days to visit each vineyard on the list, you’ll taste wines from Clyopatra Winery & Vineyard, Janemark Winery & Vineyard, Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards, Trueman Vineyards and Winery, and Two Lions Vineyards. Each one offers something different, whether that's a special wine, a gorgeous backdrop, or a strong cultural connection.

 

  1. Join a wine festival or event. Keep an eye out for festivals and activities happening at nearby parks and wineries. The Unwine Festival at the end of September in Upper Marlboro is a chance to taste local wine and beer. Relax at Patuxent River Park, listen to local bands, shop with local boutiques, and enjoy a meal from a local food truck — all while exploring the wineries and breweries of the region.

 

  1. Get the perfect wine recommendation. The Girl & The Vine is a small, locally owned and operated wine shop, bar, and patio in Takoma Park. The shop focuses on responsible and sustainable agriculture, and it boasts a unique wine inventory that shifts with the seasons and global production. You can also stay for a glass and enjoy sandwiches, salads, and snacks — including kid-centric dishes for its youngest guests.

 

  1. Book a private experience with an expert. Let a master take the lead and book a day with Vino 301. The wine concierge team will take your group on a wine tour through the best of Prince George's — and you’ll do it without the stress of coordination, driving, and planning. The group will coordinate your winery and vineyard selections, make recommendations, book your transportation, and bring your meals. All you need to do is be ready for the fun.
