Cool reggae vibes paired perfectly with your favorite Maryland wines for a fall afternoon unlike any other.
At Linganore Winecellars, we’ve never believed great wine (and great vibes) should come with a rulebook. As one of Maryland’s OG wine pioneers, we helped shape the local festival industry long before it was trendy. Our philosophy is simple: craft great wine, price it fairly, and create memorable experiences you'll want to mark on your calendar months in advance.
Our festivals have become the unofficial HQ for reunions, celebrations, and those long-overdue “we need to do this more often” moments. Fifty years in, and we’re still pouring, still partying, and still saving you a spot on the dance floor.
We've got a lineup that will make you want to party with us all weekend long. (And yes, those wine-fueled dance moves will end up on our Facebook reels later - we promise you look great).

There's no shortage of great drinks to be had at the Autumn Reggae Wine & Music Festival! With over 40 wines from Linganore Winecellars, craft beers from Red Shedman Brewery, and a handful of seasonal speciality beverages, you're sure to stay hydrated all day long.
Don't miss out on fan favorites like Spiced Apple Wine (served warm on those chilly fall mornings) or Mountain Red (hello, adult grape juice!). Maybe you're in the mood for something a little drier - may we suggest Seventh Rosé or Retriever Red? Not sure? Hm. Guess you'll just have to come to the festival and try them for yourself.
Is my ticket refundable?
We get it, times are tough and you don't want to lose out on that extra cash. However, due to production costs, we are unable to offer refunds on tickets purchased.
Okay fine, but what should I do with my unused ticket now?
If you know in advance you're no longer able to attend, we recommend listing your ticket for resale with our verified resale platform, Tixel. From there, other fans can purchase your ticket and you'll see the money hit your account once your ticket has been purchased!
I have a friend who wants to use my ticket instead - is that okay?
Most certainly! You can simply gift your ticket to a friend or family member, no need to change the name on the ticket. Just be sure they bring a valid 21+ photo ID for any drinking ticket types.
Oh man - looks like rain in the forecast. Is the festival still on?
The party continues, rain or shine! In the event of inclement weather, we recommend bringing a pop-up tent or umbrellas to keep yourself dry. But hey, once you've had a few glasses of wine and the music gets going, you won't even notice those rain drops! Note: Refunds will not be made for inclement weather. If tickets are not sold out, fans can request in advance to transfer their ticket to the opposite day should they wish.
We're making this a family affair - do my kids need a ticket?
Children aged 17 and under do not need a ticket, and are free to attend! Young adults aged 18-20 must have a ticket to enter the festival grounds. You can find these on the ticketing page under General Admission titled 'Age 18-20 | Non-Drinking'.
Are pets allowed at the festival?
While we normally love to host your four-legged friends, we do not allow pets on site during festivals. Service Animals are always permitted. Please note, the Dog Park is closed Friday-Sunday on festival weekends.
