Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard

Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard is committed to producing fine Bordeaux-style wines. Our unique soil and microclimate create ideal growing conditions for our carefully selected grapevines. We are 35 minutes from Washington, D.C., in the rolling hills of Comus, Maryland, within the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain and its conservation and recreation areas.

Owners
Mike and Carol McGarry, Jim and Lois McKenna, Dan and Randy O’Donoghue, Phil and Kathy O’Donoghue

Winemaker
Carl DiManno

Wines
Whites—Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio
Reds—Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot
We grow Malbec and Petit Verdot for use in blending. Comus is a blend of all five reds and we will soon produce a Circe and a Bacchus (Comus' mom and dad) with all the ingredients.

Hours
Wed–Sun, noon to 6 pm
Closed Easter,Thanksgiving, Christmas Day & New Year's Day

Winery Events
We have regular barrel tastings (maximum of 40 to 45 people) primarily for Case Club members (free to them) and $18 to nonmembers. This includes a meal. We will have a “stomp” in the middle of harvest time, and we celebrate our winery anniversary in mid-May. Being a jolly place, we give a free glass of wine to any birthday celebrant, along with a rousing rendition of the Happy Birthday song. We are in the process of developing a formal wine club, which will offer many special events for participants.
