For festival information, click on the wine festival logo in the left sidebar of the museum website. Local wineries participating include Linganore Winecellars, Black Ankle Vineyards, Elk Run Vineyards and Frederick Cellars. For a complete list of participants, after clicking on the festival logo, go to the “At the Festival” tab and scroll down to the “Wineries link”. I can’t link there directly because every page on the website just takes you to the main farm museum page.
