Cool Ridge Vineyard

“Visited today. What a great experience. Gary and Suzanne, husband/ wife who own and run the place, did the tasting. First, what a great couple. The tasting room is in their home and is the nicest place I've been. The wines were all very good to outstanding. We left with 8, the couple with us also 8, plus we had a bottle there. Every wine was well explained as to its making and what to expect. The attention to detail and personal service were exceptional. But you have to make appointment. Google is misleading. Not the owners' fault. It's their home and a small winery. But well worth calling ahead.”

“Had a wonderful tour of the vineyard followed by a lovely time in the tasting room. The owners Ger and Suzanne are the most gracious hosts. They explain each wine and provide a personal snack tray that complements the wines beautifully. It’s the most personal and intimate experience you’ll get and the wines rival Napa Valley. Hands down the best wines we’ve tasted in Maryland. Highly recommend!”

“The best winery experience on the east coast...frankly better than any experience I've had in Napa or elsewhere. The owners are incredibly welcoming and personable. The wines are beautifully crafted.”

“The best wine in the state of Maryland. The owners/winemakers are a real pleasure and treat their customers with the utmost hospitality. Note: Appointments must be made to visit.”

“Gary and Suzanne are welcoming knowledgeable hosts with extensive wine making knowledge and the wines to prove it. Each wine we tasted was complex and beautiful, wonderful examples of high quality from their estate winery. I too wish they weren't only open by appointment.”
