In just a month, Wine Village in Baltimore will return to the Inner Harbor, with an expanded season that begins on Mother’s Day weekend.
Taking place at the West Shore Park at the Inner Harbor, this year’s season will include more dates, more wine, more vendors, more drink selections, and new foods, beginning May 8 and running through June 1.
Previous favorites will return, like the historic carousel on the waterfront, as well as refreshing slushies, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. The Arts & Crafts marketplace will be there again with local and international vendors, and so will the live entertainment featuring bands and movie nights. Also returning is discounted parking for all visitors.
New this year are extended dates beyond Memorial Day, a larger selection of local and international wines, a Maryland-focused wine booth with 30 different wine selections, and a new partnership with Baltimore’s own M8 Beer. For the first time, there will be a full-time vegan booth with vegan brats and crispy fried blooming onions, plus a Baltimore Snowball booth, including boozy varieties!
By very popular demand, organizers added a slushie booth, which will have a Baltimore-inspired “Black Eyed Susan Slush” and a sweet and spiced “Peach Cobbler Slush.” The new Baltimore Lemon Stick cocktail will no doubt be a hit, as will the Pineapple Paradise booth serving cocktails in cored pineapples.
“We are thrilled to bring Wine Village back to Baltimore for its third year,” said Wine Village CEO Thomas Bauer. “The overwhelming support from the community in our first two years has been incredible, and we’re dedicated to making this year’s event even more memorable. We’ve expanded our wine and food lineup to appeal to a broader audience while maintaining the favorites that have become traditions to our visitors. We’re also proud to support the local small businesses at Wine Village who showcase the city’s rich and vibrant culture and talent. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Wine Village.”
There will be beach chairs and blankets, and benches placed around the European Wines area and on the lawn.
The collaboration with M8 Beer, a local brewery based in South /Baltimore, will bring a lineup that includes Czech Mate Pilsner, Hammerhead Hefeweizen, Dockers Lager, and Slim Dusty IPA.
A new grilled kebab booth will serve ground beef, chicken, and steak on a stick, providing a non-pork option for all visitors.
Thursday nights are free movie nights, from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. For all the Orioles fans, there will be live screenings of the games on big screens throughout the event space during hours the Wine Village is open.
