Make Your Own Wine
This is something only true wine lovers would want to do, but what could be better than producing your own quality vino. If in your travels you find yourself in rural Howard County, Maryland, don’t skip Tin Lizzie’s Wineworks located in Clarksville. It’s an unusual winery because you won’t find a tasting room and you can’t buy wine at the facility, which is almost unheard of, but what you can do is make your own wine.
Customers are lead through a step by step process. There are four planned sessions over the course of ten months. Each session is about an hour and a half. The first session is crush and ferment. Seven to ten days later, it’s time to press and transfer the wine into barrels. Four months later in the third session you will rack the wine and taste it, and in the last session, which is approximately ten months later you will bottle and label your wine.
When you go through their process, you are really making the wine yourself. You pick the grapes, the quality, the source of the grapes, the type of oak and the amount of wine you wish to make. Individuals or groups can make a full barrel, half barrel or quarter barrel. What a great way to really get into the wine making process, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor.
