Mission Statement

Maryland Wine Compass exists to inspire and guide wine enthusiasts and travelers through the diverse and growing wine regions of Maryland. We are dedicated to unlocking the art, history, and heritage behind every bottle by showcasing local wineries—from small, family-run vineyards to well-known industry staples—and the scenic countryside they call home. Through thoughtful articles, immersive podcasts, and curated wine guides, we bring Maryland’s viticultural story to life in an educational and engaging way. Our mission is rooted in connection—between land and bottle, drinker and maker, story and taste. We believe the best way to learn about wine is to experience it: to visit tasting rooms, speak with winemakers, and explore local varietals firsthand. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned connoisseur, Maryland Wine Compass is your trusted companion on the journey. Join us as we navigate Maryland’s wine trails, one glass at a time.

Hi my name is Briana and I am a CPA and audit manager at a public accounting firm. Ian and I have been very passionate about Maryland wine since moving here in 2013. We have been to over 60 Maryland wineries and have tasted wines from numerous others at the festivals we regularly attend. We are excited to share our experiences with you.

Hello my name is Ian. We are working our way through the WSET program and writing about it along the way. We have tasted wine and visited wine regions all over the world but found something special in Maryland. Maryland is an up and coming region for great wine making. Our goal is to help promote Maryland wine and share our journey with you.
