    Crow Vineyard & Winery, now celebrating its 14th Year of Wine Farming, has always had a special philosophy regarding holding off-site events. “We have always recognized that our diversified farm, now a successful vineyard and winery is a very unique place to visit so we hold events at our farm and rarely do off-site events.” per Judy Crow Owner, Crow Vineyard & Winery.

    Crow’s approach to wine making reflects its authentic farm roots and an artisan sensibility, from growing their own grapes to staying true to their unique terroir, and their on site events focus on these aspects. So it was a no-brainer to be a Host VIP winery at the 2026 MD Crafted event in Centreville. “As the VIP host winery at this festival we have the perfect spotlight to illustrate what ‘maryland crafted‘ means at a very basic, authentic level.” according to Michael Zollo, Crow’s winemaker.

    The collaboration between Crow and Jana Howley, Executive Director Maryland Wine – a featured event sponsor, helped create a unique, pre-event wine tasting experience for the 2026 festival at Centreville. Bringing further insight as to the collaboration and the artisan wine crafting of Crow Vineyard & Winery, is a special podcast created by the Wine Coach, Laurie Foster.

  • Crow’s Farm Diversification Model catches eye of Governor Moore

    On a small corner of Kent County a family farm is supporting a very important part of the Maryland economy and tourism.  The Crow family, owners of a 3rd generation 365-acre farm, are real pioneers in the Maryland wine industry. Their vision to diversify the farm in a way that shares the farm winery experience with tourists from around the country is certainly paying off.  In June of 2023, Governor Wes Moore and Secretary of Agriculture, Kevin Atticks visited Crow Farm so they could see firsthand the  farming diversification and sustainability model that the Crow family respectively promotes.

    “Behind the Scenes” Wine Seminars at Crow

    At Crow we believe the ultimate wine experience is sharing how we make wine with those who wish to get a hands on experience with our authentically driven farm vineyard operations. As farmers, we are completely transparent about how we respect, till and cultivate our lands. Now a successful farm vineyard and winery, we seek to share how we craft wines that are 100% sourced from our farm vineyard.

    To this end, we conduct educational and interactive “Beyond the Glass” wine seminars each year where participants get an inside look into our operations and can participate in our winemaking.

    As the owner of Crow Vineyard & Winery, Judy Crow fields a lot of questions about her wine’s provenance and production. But it wasn’t always that way.

    “When we first got into business, nobody asked that question,” Crow said.

    In the seven years since she and her husband, Roy, opened their Eastern Shore tasting room, they’ve seen interest in their farm and wine production process take off. Now, customers believe “it’s really important to see the connection between the growing of the grapes and making of the wine,” Crow said. “The general public has a thirst to be engaged with the agricultural community.”

  • What Role Should Vidal Blanc Play in the Future of Maryland Wine?

    By

    written by Aaron Menenberg for The Cork Report

    “There is a tension in the Maryland wine market. On one hand, consumers want the wines they know – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and the Vitis vinifera like – while on the other hand, Maryland doesn’t necessarily produce versions of these varieties that meet consumer expectation.

    Early last year, I had a Vidal made by Maryland producer Crow Vineyards that blew away my expectations for the variety. Unlike many other white vinifera varieties, Vidal is a good grape for the state’s challenging and varied climate, and when made like a serious wine it can, brace yourself, be a serious wine.”

    It has always been our intention to share with the public our sincere expression of who we are as local Kent County grape growers, and to create the best Maryland wine we can make.  We chose Barbera as it is known in the Piedmont area of Italy as the “Farmer’s grape” and the Barbera wine is enjoyed at dinner.  As farmers who enjoy growing Grass-fed Angus beef, we felt that the Barbera grape was a good choice for us to grow.  As visitors come to our farm and tasting room they are not sure if they want to try the Barbera, as it has a soft color, and once we encourage them to just give it a try they are blown away with the floral nose and the delightful flavor.
