We are an Appalachian
mountain winery, vineyard, and farm market nestled in the
scenic Laurel Highlands along the Maryland-Pennsylvania border,
20 minutes from Deep Creek Lake in extreme western Maryland.
At Deep Creek Cellars, we make wine one way, and one way only:
by hand. In every part of the craft, we emphasize the low-tech
and the no-tech. We believe humans can tell the difference
between genuine craftsmanship and an industrial approach.
We know the hand-made can be tasted on the palate and felt
in the heart.
A Real Country Getaway
Our family-run winery and vineyard
is perched on a steep hillside 20 miles from the nearest
stoplight at the crossroads of a three-state outdoor
recreation wonderland—join us for a wine tasting
just two hours from Pittsburgh, three hours from the
Washington or Baltimore beltways, and a short day's
drive from Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, or Charlotte.

With so many residents of the East Coast seeking vacation
experiences closer to home, in areas without the urban
hum, where the stars shine on a pitch-black sky and
rushing streams seem to slice every landscape, the Deep
Creek region's popularity grows every year. Yet, so
far, the area remains unspoiled. |

Few areas of North America offer as many
varied opportunities for hiking, camping, mountain-biking,
world-class white-water rafting and trout fishing, plus
downhill and cross-country skiing -- as well as just plain
relaxing on the deck beside an alpine lake. Wilderness-rich
Garrett County has one of the largest black bear populations
in eastern America and is renowned as a bird-watchers' paradise,
while adjoining counties in West Virginia and Pennsylvania
are similarly rugged and scenic. Yet, all the amenities
of home are close at hand, too, with fine restaurants, shopping,
and plenty of activities.
Wines
of True Value
A rustic setting, however, does not mean
plain wines. In an era when wine consumers seek more value
than ever in the marketplace, most of our bottlings are
snapped up by patrons who know Deep Creek's dry but fruity
blends and specialty dessert wines can always be counted
on. Since 1997, our wines have delighted visitors from around
the world with their irresistibly lively flavors at modest
prices. Deep Creek Cellars counts friends from China, Japan,
Korea, India, Indonesia, Australia, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia,
Argentina, Israel, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt, as well as allies
from Canada, Russia, Ukraine, and the European Union!
In our vineyards, where sustainable agriculture
benefits our customers and the Earth, you'll find the classic
European Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, and unusual varieties
such as Traminette and St. Croix. All of our efforts express
the bold fruit yet elegant textures typical of mountain
viniculture.
Unique
Farm Market and Gift Shop
Check in with us, also, for locally produced
goat cheese and other tasty treats, as well as estate-grown
berries, orchard fruits, and specialty vegetables sold in
season. And to complement the artisanal nature of our wines,
the work of regional artists and artisans is for sale in
our tasting room. You can also find a good selection of
quality wine accessories. Please, stop by and enjoy the
view -- at 2,100 feet, yet so easily reached!
