Port of Leonardtown Winery

Repurposing the former State Highway Administration buildings, the SMWGC entered into a lease agreement with the Town of Leonardtown in 2009 to operate the Port of Leonardtown Winery making it the first commercial winery in St. Mary’s County. The tasting room opened in May 2010 as a promotional outlet for our locally grown grapes and locally produced wine. Currently we have 12 cooperative vineyards from St Mary’s, Calvert, Charles, and Kent counties. Our winemaker, Lauren Zimmerman, continues our tradition of high standards for our award winning wines. Our selection of fine wines continues to grow as we add new selections to our already outstanding list of wines. Since opening in 2010, we have won over 150 awards including multiple Best in Class awards & many international medals.
