Hours: Year Round

Berrywine Plantations/Linganore Winecellars is a family operated vineyard and winery nestled on 230 acres of picturesque rolling countryside, 4.5 miles northeast of historic New Market, Maryland.

Established by Jack and Lucille Aellen in 1971, our first 6 acres of vineyards were planted in 1972 and the winery opened in 1976 in the lower half of a 19th century post and beam barn which previously housed the farm's dairy operation. Using Lucille's father's hand winemaking equipment, we processed 6 tons of grapes our first year. In 1977, we held Maryland's first wine festival as a way to introduce our first vintage to the public. In 1978, to meet consumer demand, we introduced the state's first semi sweet grape wines, an off shoot of our German-Swiss winemaking heritage. With the knowledge and experience in the production of these lighter style wines came the introduction that same year of our honey and pure fruit wines.
