The Dog And Oyster Vineyard

Open: Year-round

History of the Vineyard

In 2011, the owners of the Hope and Glory and their son Mark Hollingsworth, had an opportunity to acquire an existing vineyard where Mark had been its vineyard manager. The decision was made to rebrand the business and to take control of the winemaking which had previously been contracted outside. 

The area is very much like Bordeaux with sandy soil and a nearby estuary (Chesapeake Bay). And it is just as lovely. With over 6 acres of Vinifera and French American Hybrid vines, we offer two whites, Vidal Blanc and Chardonel, and two reds, Merlot and Chambourcin.
