We began planting our vineyards at Thanksgiving Farm in 1998 on rolling hills historically used for growing tobacco. We now have 13 acres in vineyard. We grow only Bordeaux red varieties - Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot - which support the annual production of our dry red Meritage wine. We received our commercial winery license in 2006 to become the first commercial winery in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

All of our Thanksgiving Farm brand wines are made exclusively from grapes grown in the vineyards at Thanksgiving Farm. Our Towhee brand wines are made with juice we obtain from other locations.

Thanksgiving Farm is located 20 miles due east of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., on a gentle ridge separating watersheds that drain to the West River and to the Patuxent River.
