Serving local wines supports your local community and economy.  Not to mention that you are creating a smaller footprint for your wedding in shipping your wine.  Think about all of your guests coming in from all over the country. Most couples want to serve local crab specialties in Maryland as “Maryland is for Crabs”!  Why not pair your crab cakes with a local Maryland wine?

Keep in mind that you can also have your wedding at some of these wineries and vineyards.  If you are a wine connoisseur, you have probably already thought of this.  Even if you are not into wine, you will find that wineries are some of the most beautiful places to have weddings!
