Port of Leonardtown medals from Maryland Winemasters Competition

Although neither of the county’s two wineries are more than four years old, both have an impressive show of medals from state, regional and even international competitions. As their reputations grow, so too, does the number of visitors to both Port of Leonardtown Winery and Slack Winery. “Both Slack and Port of Leonardtown have earned multiple golds and ‘best in class’ honors in their first few years of production,” notes Kevin Atticks, Maryland Wineries Association Executive Director. “This is further proof that St. Mary’s County – and Southern Maryland, in general – is prime viticultural land.” Port of Leonardtown Winery is one of the few collective wineries in the nation. Slack Winery is the state’s only inn and winery.
