Maryland and Virginia Wineries
About Our Winery
28712 Kemptown Road, Damascus, MD
For nearly 30 years, we have lived among the rolling hills and peaceful farmlands of Upper Montgomery County, Maryland. Our appreciation for wine deepened as we toured local and international wineries. We wondered why there were so many wonderful wineries out there, but only a few in Montgomery County. After some thought (and a glass or two), we made the decision to educate ourselves on the art of winemaking. We attended Wine Camp (yes there is such a thing), then joined Maryland Grape Growers and Maryland Wineries Associations. In 2013-2014, we planted a 1-acre, test vineyard with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The project became a family affair, and during our harvest 2 years later, we had 4 generations working the land. Then the most amazing thing happened, we made wine! And the result exceeded our expectations. The following year we acquired our farm which is now 61 Vineyard. Our Tasting Room opened in October of 2021. We currently are growing Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, Chardonel, Albarino, Seval Blanc and Sangiovese.
Why 61? Well, it was a good year! The name derives from the year we were both born, 1961. In the wine world, a good year is everything. And we agree that this was a really good year!

Mead is possibly the oldest fermented beverage we humans have enjoyed. Mead does not require agriculture to be made and is therefore the most simple fermented beverage out there. What we strive to do is to bring mead out of the renaissance festivals and onto your table, to your tailgating, BBQ, summer and winter events.

Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard has been embraced by wine enthusiasts since it opened in 2006 for its award-winning vintages that reflect precision and passion in the science and art of winemaking. Grown amid the unique microclimate at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain, the winery’s 22 acres of vines are French vinifera clones grafted on American rootstock and were carefully selected by world-renowned viticulturist Lucie Morton.
These vines produce grapes that we hand-pick, cold-soak, cold-ferment and age in stainless steel or French oak barrels to produce our Bordeaux-inspired reds and crisp whites that continue to be recognized for their uniquely creative flavors and memorable finishes.

Reds: Cabernet Franc Reserve, plus our signature Bordeaux-style blends: Comus and EVOE!

About Our Winery
15200 Baden Naylor Road, Brandywine, MD (301) 535-9126
Owned by husband and wife, Jane and Mark, Janemark Winery & Vineyard is located on a farm in rural southern Prince George’s County Maryland that has been a part of the family since 1877. Janemark Winery & Vineyard is located in beautiful southern Maryland only 25 miles from Washington, DC.
Janemark Winery & Vineyard has two vineyard locations. JWV was initially developed on land that has been in Jane's side of the family after arriving to the United States of America in 1714. When the family settled in Baden, the land was used as a tobacco farm until 1969. In the spring of 2013, Jane & Mark, along with their two sons, Sam & Alex, planted all of the vines in these fields, which include Albarino, Vidal Blanc, and Chambourcin.
JWV’s vineyard at 15200 Baden Naylor Road was established in 2014. It became known as Four Degrees Vineyard because the row orientation is four degrees off from its intended layout. This vineyard is home to our Barbera, Albarino, Petit Manseng, and our tasting barn.
We are proud to produce Maryland estate-grown varieties and share our love for wine-making and knowledge of wine with our customers. We opened for public tastings in March 2017.
