et in the rolling hills of Frederick County, our tasting room combines two things that are a must for a special event today:  aesthetic beauty and environmentally-friendly practices.  The tasting room, which can accommodate 100 people, features sweeping views of the vineyards and was built using a multitude of materials grown or gathered on the farm, including wood, stone, straw, and clay.

The interior of our tasting room includes a hand-crafted bar, an inviting fireplace, one-of-a-kind curly maple tables, a caterer-ready kitchen, ADA-compliant bathrooms, and 1150 square feet of floor space.  The site also features a covered breezeway of 430 square feet which can be enclosed, to create a cozy sunroom on bright winter days.  The facility also features a delightful covered porch furnished with rocking chairs.  The exterior of the tasting room includes a living roof, solar paneling, and easily accessible parking. 

Perfect for an intimate or small-sized event, Black Ankle Vineyards’ tasting room is an exceptional venue that will create a memorable occasion for those with discerning tastes.
