Who doesn't love a good wine tour? You get to drink and learn about what you're drinking. And usually wineries are set in beautiful locations, with sweeping views of fields with vines and farms.
I recently took a tour of Linganore Winecellars near Mt. Airy, Maryland. I had a Groupon! I had been there in the summer for one of their famous festivals before. This time I was going on Halloween weekend and the weather had taken a freak twist of fate and decided to snow... Very odd for Maryland on Halloween.

I realized that snow and autumn leaf colors make a beautiful picture! You just don't see it very often.
Linganore Winecellars is located in the Linganore American Viticultural Area, which means it's a very good place to grow grapes for wine. So they have estate wines there and none estate wines. If you haven't had their wine before, they have a variety of regular dry reds and whites, in addition to a popular line of fruity wines.
The tour of the facilities is free to all visitors. I was told if you take the tour on a weekday, you'll see the magic at work, with workers processing the grapes after harvest. I recommend a visit to Linganore if you haven't been before. It looks like they have a lot of outdoor seating for the warm months, but there aren't many seats inside.
