Really enjoyed this winery. Is a beautiful facility, and would make a great wedding venue, or for other special occasions. Even though we showed up near closing time, the staff were more than willing to provide the tasting, and were polite and helpful the entire time...and they ended up staying open a bit later because of our visit. Being from Kansas, I haven't ever had muscadine wine, but found most of these very enjoyable.

First off, when we were driving to the winery, it seemed off the beaten path...but when we got there, it was amazing. There was great parking, plenty of space at the bar for tastings, but that wasn't even the most impressive part. There is a pond there, complete with swans, and LOTS of seating. There was seating under various pavilions, as well as inside, but also many tables to set out on the lawn. There was live music available, and food options as well. This could have easily been a day-long hangout as it was so relaxing and beautiful. As for their wines...they were ok. I did however, really enjoy their unique sparkling almond-flavored wine and the '57 Chevy.

Nice winery. Their wines were good, really enjoyed the vignoles and the semi-dry red.
Baltimore Bend Vineyard (written Jul 02, 2017)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
This was a cute little winery, and our server (the mayor of Waverly???) was very friendly. Really enjoyed many of their wines. As I look through my list and notes, and had many that I could have easily purchased, but had to limit myself!! ;) I generally have been a sweet wine person, but am now more midway, the semi-sweets and semi-dry's, but here at Baltimore Blend, I really enjoyed the C2 (C squared), which is Norton and Chambourcin grapes. It is aged in stainless steel, which I prefer over the oaky flavors. Very nice wine! Others that I enjoyed were the Encore, Last Minute, Cirrus, 2015 Vignoles, and the Joli Vin.
