Maryland is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions on the East Coast. Spanning from the Chesapeake Bay to the Appalachian Mountains—and inland across rolling hills and fertile valleys—Maryland's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a wide array of terroir. The cool waters of the Chesapeake Bay play a major role in moderating Maryland's vineyards, sending breezes and chilly air inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the bay, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail. Maryland's growing wine industry is crafting exceptional wines that reflect the state's unique and dynamic environmental conditions.
