If you're looking for a winery experience in Maryland that feels a little more elevated, Old Westminster Winery is definitely worth adding to your list! I especially loved the private cabana experience, which made the visit feel extra special and was perfect for a date day, girls' day, birthday, or simply spending a relaxing afternoon enjoying good food and wine. The food was just as memorable. Some of my favorites were the Summer Caesar with citrus-marinated roasted chicken, Cheese & Prosciutto Board, and their wood-fired pizzas. The Zucchini Ricotta with Chesapeake jumbo lump blue crab was such a standout, and the Pepperoni with Hot Honey was another favorite. Definitely save room for dessert! The Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie and Crème Brûlée are both great choices. For wine, I recommend trying one of their wine flights. My personal favorite was The Fav Wines, featuring the 2025 Brine, Riesling, and Petit Manseng. If cocktails are more your style, the Rosé Sangria Spritz and Gold Rush are worth trying too. I also loved the 2025 Honey, which is sweet, nectary, and vibrant. It's a great bottle to take home and continue the experience. Overall, Old Westminster Winery offers much more than just wine. Between the beautiful setting, private cabanas, food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, it's easily one of the Maryland wineries I'd recommend visiting. Tip: Book the private cabana if you want to make the experience feel extra special! read more

Old Westminster Winery I finally visited Old Westminster Winery, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, this one was a little disappointing for my taste buds. Customer Service: Great Customer service, from meeting the receptionist at the front desk to getting seated at my Cabana and then immediately getting the first pour of wine. They also rotate shifts, so we had a total of 3 servers for our 3-hour time slot. : Book a reservation, as they book up very fast. Also, try a cabana; it's worth it. Food First let's discuss the wine. If you're a dry wine lover, you may really enjoy the selection here. Unfortunately, I'm more partial to sweet wine, so I was disappointed that the available wines leaned dry. I was sooooo excited to try Honey, which was the sweetest option, only to find out it was SOLD OUT . Just my luck, the wine that sounded like it was made for me was the one I couldn't get!!!!! The Pepperoni Hot Honey pizza was okay. I liked the combination of pepperoni with that little touch of sweetness from the hot honey, but overall it didn't wow me. I did love that the food came out super fast; you order and then blink, and it's coming out. Crab Dip was pretty meh for me, too. As a Baltimore native, you already know we take our crab dishes seriously!!! BUT WAIT!!!!! Because dessert came through and SAVED the day!!!! The warm skillet cookie topped with ice cream was DELICIOUS!!! Warm cookie + cold melting ice cream, woooo wheeewwww you had me at warm. YES!!!! My absolute favorite thing I tried during the visit. Aesthetics-The pictures and videos DON'T DO any justice; this is one place you MUST see in person. It's soooo beautiful; the cabanas are nice and cozy with heat inside. As it gets cooler, they also provide blankets. Parking: Free parking is available on the lot, with a short walk up to the winery. Overall, Old Westminster Winery has a nice experience, but the wine selection available during my visit just wasn't geared toward my sweeter palate. I'd be willing to return when Honey is back in stock because now I NEED to know if that's the wine that changes my mind. Dry wine lovers, this may be your spot. My fellow sweet wine lovers, check Honey availability first. read more

Beautiful establishment, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the expectations. The menu is very limited, and there were zero vegan options. It's 2026, there really should be more options for guests with dietary restrictions. Our waiter was absolutely sweet and tried to help. She even suggested speaking with the manager about vegan options, but unfortunately, the manager wasn't much help either. We also drove 3 hours to visit, only to find out the honey wine was sold out. It's a beautiful place with potential, but do better with the menu and planning for your guests. Hopefully, they take the feedback seriously because the experience could have been so much better. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TIME! Well worth our nearly 2 hour trek. Believe EVERYTHING amazing you read about this place ... it's a whole vibe, 10/10 experience, BEAUTIFUL environment, grown folk sexy cabanas, great Rosé Sangria, even better Trio (Chardonnay mix) and After Hours blend (be sure to buy a bottle!), FANTASTIC service (Kia, we are eternally grateful for your grace and hospitality), and the pizza, charcuterie boards and dainty desserts were noteworthy (pics attached). Remember it's a WINERY ... NOT a 5 star restaurant. Why people are expecting a buffet of entrees is ludicrous. I wholeheartedly declare this is an excellent choice for my eldest son's 29th birthday celebration. I highly recommend it and would definitely return! read more

Ventured here this afternoon to celebrate my aunts birthday. Was the perfect Sunday funday adventure!! Arrived on time for our 130p reservation. I arrived a little early to set up for our celebratory occasion. Our waitress Michelle was super sweet and attentive. She offered us a welcome pour of their "You are my Sunshine" which was lovely. I honestly could've done without the flight that I ordered and just had this! Our food was delicious! From the appetizers we shared to the selection of pizzas we ordered. For desserts we ordered the Lemon Tart Cheesecake, Pistachios Strawberry Macaroons and I was able to bring in an outside cake for the occasion. Which was absolutely delicious!!!!!! The almond/vanilla cake paired well with the rosè. Our cabana was clean and set up perfectly for our arrival. The grounds and views were absolutely amazing....they offer mini amplifiers to listen to music from your phones... Really was the perfect afternoon for a perfect occasion. Looking forward to my next wine adventure!! Cheers to more life! Happy Yelping!! read more

Fabulous experience celebrating a friend's birthday over the weekend. A cabin was rented out and our host did an amazing job having 16 of us to take care of. The pepperoni and hot honey pizza was a stand out for a majority of us. The hummus was good and I loved the chocolate chip cookies! I don't drink alcohol so can't speak to that. I heard the Honey was good (esp if you like sweet whites) and others liked the Chardonnay (I believe). The staff were friendly and we had no issues. I would recommend for large events as everything was a great experience as a guest! read more

OMG. How come I didn't know about place ? This place is amazing!!! I can't believe we have this kind of winery in MD. I went there for my friend's birthday and was so surprised how nice it is. Servers were amazing and made us feel so special. Their food is prepared so freshly and wines were delicious. A definitely perfect place to celebrate special occasions. You always have to make a reservation and I recommend booking one of the cabin. It's so cozy. Can't wait to go back !!! read more

My friend rented a patio cabana. If you are a wine club member, you can get this for free. Our server Jenni was attentive and fun. We each had a Fav Wine Flights which was great to try a few different wines. We all shared a Caesar salad, and the Pepperoni and hot honey and prosciutto and pesto pizzas. They were both great but I liked the Pepperoni and Hot Honey more. I really liked the Trio wine - it's not a traditional Chardonnay based wine. We also really liked the crème brûlée! It's a beautiful venue. read more

Love this venue! Went here during February. We reserved one of the 7-12 greenhouses and our event went so well. The greenhouse has good natural lighting. The pizzas were tasty too. Good heating, even a fan for the summer. Be careful of the heating element because we burned one of our balloons that touched. Muddy on the parking lot in February after a few weeks of snow and rain so dress appropriately and wear the right shoes. Highly recommended! read more

This place is truly phenomenal. The greenhouse cabana is a must! The greenhouse is $65 for 2-4 guest. It's well worth it. Beautiful intimate experience. And prefect for a date night.

My overall experience at Old Westminster Winery was positive. The cabanas are worth the cost. They provide the perfect setting for an intimate gathering with friends.

I will never stop talking about how great this place is for special gatherings! I hosted a wonderful bridal shower here in the space for 12+ and it really was spectacular. Great service, beautiful venue, and good food. My only comment is that the wines they stocked the bar with were mid (not their amazing Pet Nat or Rose) but they were willing to bring down additional bottles for us. read more

I came here with some friends for brunch, and we rented one of the private cabanas. They have heaters as well, so the cabanas can be rented year round. The food here is farm to table and the ingredients are sourced locally, and the everything tasted fresh. Our server was friendly and she greeted us with welcome drinks, which I thought was a nice touch. They don't have many cocktails, but the one that I ordered was tasty. My friends enjoyed their wine flights as well. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I highly recommend checking this winery out. read more

An adorable winery with fantastic selections for every palette, good food, and friendly service. We celebrated a birthday at Old Westminster in the small house rentals. Inside, they've thought of everything: blankets, heaters, fans, and a little speaker you can connect to. Jen was our waitress and she made it fun, gave out great recommendations for the women new to wine, and just made it a fun experience. The food was good and the wine selection was awesome. I don't love that the dry red tasting is only available to members but understand it makes a good business model. The petit Verdot was excellent! This is a great spot for a girls night or a romantic date night! I highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Recently visited for a Saturday morning cabana reservation. Easy to book online through their website. From the DC metro area the drive was about an hour and half/60 miles. We chose to book a scheduled rideshare there and back. There is free parking and the winery opens at 10 am we were able to walk the grounds and interior winery until our reservation. The cabanas are neat and private which views of the farm with lighting, fans, and heaters. Our visit was fairly a warm day so it was nice to have the fan but overall you are shielded from the sun and able to enjoy an interior/exterior atmosphere. There was a little food debris on the chairs/floor but not messy and the cabana was very neatly designed and furnished. The staff is very courteous and attentive with Matt being our guide through the available wine offerings and accommodating our menu requests. He provided amazing service and recommendations that really made our visit special. Our reservation was for three hours which is more than enough time to taste the wines, enjoy the menu and purchase wines after. We enjoyed the red wine flight, a complimentary glass of their 2025 Rosé, and rose sangria as well as starters of hummus and Caesar salad and pizzas. The chef was accommodating to our party for a request for no diary which we really appreciated. The Caesar salad was crisp and savory and the hummus was earthy and filling. My favorite tasting was the rosé and the Cabernet Sauvignon and I love their wide range of offerings. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend reservations. Already looking forward to my next visit! As of May 2026 the cabana reservation is $65 with food/wine being separate Free parking $$ read more

Great experience overall. So glad we made reservations and went. Drive was beautiful, vineyard was ever more amazing. As a wine lover, I was very impressed by their wine selection. Staff was friendly and super knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I wished I could remember the name of our adorable server. From start to finish, she was so attentive and accommodating. She started us off with a glass of their "You are My Sunshine" sparkling rose, which was fantastic. We rented a table on the porch. We had beautiful views of the grounds, very open and breezy. Ordered their Hummus Plate and Margherita Pizza. 10 out of 10. Had a glass of their Cab Franc (which was only supposed to be for members). WOW. We will be back. read more

My son and his wife took me to Old Westminster Winery for Father's Day, and although I hadn't visited in a few years, I was thoroughly impressed. Since his wife is a member, he rented a private cabana, and the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful -- relaxed, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a special occasion. Our cabana seated six, and we had plenty of space to enjoy the afternoon.The hummus appetizer was outstanding, the wood‑fired pizza was excellent, and the wine was even better. I especially enjoyed the Red Rev, which was smooth, balanced, and easily my favorite of the day.I'd recommend Old Westminster Winery to anyone who appreciates great wine and a welcoming, private setting. read more

Such a fun place to get wine and good food. We were able to reserve a spot at the private cabanas and it is so lovely. We went when it was pouring rain, but the cabana was still warm and did a good job of keeping the rain out of our cabana. The food here is farm table so the food is super fresh and flavorful. You can even see them making your pizza through a glass window. We got the flights and were able to try the different wines they had to offer. We dot the cheese and meat board, several pizzas, carrots, and the hummus. The pizzas were really good and had a ton of toppings on them. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is by far the best Maryland winery that I have been too. I think these wines can compete with other well known areas, and the professional awards show it. The servers have always been knowledgeable when I have been, and they are able to provide recommendations and suggestions based on your own taste and preferences. They give you a complimentary pour (they call it a splash) of a wine not on the menu that you can buy by the bottle at the beginning of your reservation. The wood fired pizzas are great, and their food menu changes seasonally. I'd definitely recommend this location to wine experts and newbies alike! read more

We're very grateful that they were sensitive and accommodating to our needs and consequently made adjustments to our booking. We will see them in the fall and are very excited. read more

Old Westminster Winery is definitely worth the drive out! The farm it's on it's beautiful and the actual dining areas are so beautifully decorated. You can sit in the glass patio or in mini green houses during the colder months, so you can enjoy the sunlight while still keeping warm, which is a must in the cold! As soon as we arrived, aside from noticing the beautiful property and space I noticed how friendly and welcoming all the staff were. From the busy hosts being so welcoming to the servers being SO knowledgeable. I came out knowing so much about the winery and wine in general! For food everything we got was AMAZING! The pizzas were so well cooked and the pear prosciutto and Gouda pairing was so unexpected but perfect. The hummus gets points for being pink and for it generally being one of the most flavorful hummuses I have had in a while! Of course the main event is the wines, with the membership you receive four flights free each month, we were able to try all three available which was perfect because they were all delicious! My favorite flight combo was the classics. If you live around the area and would go monthly I definitely think the wine membership is a great opportunity to get free green house or patio bookings, free wine flights, and 10% off all other wine purchases! read more

My friends and I have been talking about this place for awhile, especially since there's been all this rave online and due to the awards that they've received. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for the private cabanas. The cabanas, the winery, the decor, is something out of a magazine. 10/10 on their design and making this a place where I could sit for hours with a glass of wine and great company. I didn't take a picture of the margherita pizza, but it was a 12" Neapolitan style. Chef's kiss all around. I could have eaten about 3 more of these. By no means am I some kind of wine aficionado, but I very much enjoyed the red wines and the sparking rose. They were on the dryer side which is exactly what I was looking for. I did try a few of the whites, but not my thing. I don't like white wine from a lot of places so no knock to them. Would I come back? Absolutely. I want to try more of their food and maybe do a pairing of food and wine next time with some friends. read more

This place is one of my favorite places in Maryland-- the food, the wine, the outdoor spaces-- everything. You will need a reservation to go but it's definitely worth it. The wine is so tasty and delicious and you can either get bottles or a flight based on your preference. The menu periodically changes but includes coffee, appetizers, and wood-fired pizza-- all of which are very delicious. They have made their outdoor spaces equipped for all seasons and that makes this a great destination to celebrate something special year-round. Check them out if you have not already! read more

SPECTACULAR! If you can bear the drive, definitely worth the trip. Took my lady and a few of her friends here for her birthday and everyone has an amazing time. Was able to book about 3 months in advance for a greenhouse for 6. The greenhouse was very spacious and decorated well. The only negative I can think of is cloudy weather is needed. If the sun is out in full force, I imagine the greenhouse will get too hot. The glimpses of sun we had, made us open fans and all doors. We ordered the following and EVERYTHING was a 9 or 10 out of 10: Espresso martini: 9/10 Winter Caesar salad: 10/10 - incredible Cheese and prosciutto board: 9/10 extra money might be needed Truffle and mushroom pizza: 12/10 one of the none pork options and the mushrooms were perfect (ordered 2) Pepperoni and hot honey pizza: 9/10 wish it was a little less spicy Margherita pizza: 9/10 nice cheese and thin crust Carrots and feta: 10/10 wish feta was a little thicker Old fashioned: 10/10 perfect Wines- so instead of doing a flight of whites for each person, decided to get the full bottle of each and saved a lot of money. 2023 Riesling: 10/10 not like all of the other rieslings have had before 2023 Albariño: 10/10 first time trying and we loved it 2024 honey: 10/10 sweet but so good read more

I've visited Old Westminster Winery twice now and it's such a great setting to unwind on the weekend. My partner rented us one of the outdoor greenhouses both times, which are so beautifully decorated. The service was fantastic - the staff members were so friendly, attentive, and eager to answer any questions we had about the wines or menu items. The cheese and charcuterie plate is delicious and definitely worth the price. I love that the winery has gluten free options for the charcuterie plate as well as for any of the pizzas on the menu. The wines were also tasty and overall, we had a great time! read more

My book club and I had an amazing experience at Old Westminster Winery! When we arrived, we were greeted and seated right away. The grounds were beautiful, with tons of hydrangeas and other flowers. We reserved one of the little greenhouses and were allowed to decorate, so we brought a few bouquets and other small items for the tables. I'm not a huge wine drinker, but decided to go with the summer wine flight and loved all 3! The honey wine was so refreshing on the extremely hot day. I also had the Caesar salad and pepperoni hot honey pizza, and both were 10/10! Service was also amazing! The indoor tasting area was cool, clean, and the staff in there was also kind and welcoming. Really good experience! read more

I've been to Westminster Winery many times at different times of year and it's always a blast. The wine is great, service is great, and we love the pizza. I came on a Friday night in February, renting a greenhouse with my girlfriends. We had server Casey and she was awesome. We each got flights and split some pizzas. The greenhouse is so cozy and has little heaters in it. The flights are about $30 so not cheap but tasty and change all the time. I love the pizza - is crispy and has great toppings. We stayed in the greenhouse for about 3 hours and had a blast. In the summer, it's a lovely outdoor space too. Plentiful free parking on site. I wish there were more restrooms (only 2 stalls!) and more food options besides pizza - it makes it hard to come more often. I also wish they had some more sides. Overall, it's a beautiful winery with great wine and could be great for all kinds of events!! read more

Old Westminster Winery is a vibe. I've been fortunate to see it grow to what it has become today and I think I know the secret sauce. The wine is great - the food is delicious but what really makes OWMW stand out is the service. Everybody is so delightful and helpful. We have had no hiccups dining there. When we had to change a reservation last minute, the team worked with us to make it happen.

I would like to express my sincerest appreciation to the team at Old Westminster Winery. We had the pleasure of being greeted by Rachel and spending time with Keith yesterday (both of whom welcomed us like family). My aunt and my nephew are new to the winery, and Keith welcomed them with open arms as well. We are going through a challenging time at the moment and planned the visit yesterday to decompress. We were able to do that and so much more with the help of Rachel, Keith & and the team. Keith...THANK YOU for your kind words, calming presence and warm smile...you gave us laughs, peace, acceptance and some much needed joy to continue the celebration of life. Yesterday was extremely challenging and you have no clue how much your presence meant. I appreciate you for pouring into us (pun intended). Thank you all for what you do...and (most importantly) how you do it. read more

Another great trip to the winery. We tried a bunch of great food off their menu and had a great time! We stayed in the lounge greenhouse which offered a nice amount of space so for 5 people we weren't crowded at all. The table is maybe a little small with all the glasses and decor but you make it work. We tried the bacon and mushroom and pear and prosciutto pizzas along with the charcuterie board and glazed carrots. Everything was fantastic. read more

Loved this place. It has a beautiful setting, friendly people, and tasty wine. At one point they came around with a sample bottle just to give people something else to try. This is the type of place you can go with a small ground and just sit and talk and have small plates. I can't wait to go back int he summer. I did join the wine club, so that is another thing I am anxiously awaiting. What they do, they do well. It is a little off the beaten path, but worth the drive. read more

Old Westminster is my favorite winery in all of MD. I came to celebrate my birthday with friends in one of the summer cabanas. Reserving the cabana was done online, with a small fee. It can hold up to 6 people. Our waitress was helpful and informative of the various wine and food selections. We decided to order a board, couple of bottles, a handful of pizzas and desserts to share. I love their brick oven pizzas! It's made well, light, fresh ingredients and yummy. I love this winery because of its good food, wine selection, flight options, great service, easy parking situation, well constructed structures to sit in and picturesque! Also pet-friendly if you want to bring your furry friends. read more

If you're traveling from the DC area, be ready for a driveeee to get out to the Old Westminster Winery but just know that it will be worth it once you arrive. The winery is breathtaking when you arrive and a very relaxing experience. It looks like they newly renovated the outside and whoever came up with the design... shout out to you. You did your big one. There are small outdoor spaces (maybe 12) where you can dine outside with up to 10 guests without being in the sun. They had pumpkins and fall decorations scattered throughout. There's even a little event space off to the side that looks like it would be beautiful for a wedding. The wine itself I thought was ok here. The only thing that I would've gotten again was one of their rose's. Everything else was either too sweet or I was just not a fan (their orange wine). I ordered the sausage and onion pizza and thought it was kind of mid and lacked seasoning. There are plenty other wine and food option so maybe there are some other gems that I have yet to try here. I thought the service was pretty good, everyone was friendly. I'm not sure that I would seek out another visit to Old Westminster Winery but would definitely visit again if I were in the area. Thank you! read more
