The
Maryland Wineries Association is toasting a move into a larger space that will give it the room it needs to store supplies to host more events.
The group moved into a 1,200-square-foot warehouse space at 1940 Greenspring Dr. in Timonium. That’s double the size of its former Timonium office, which had been getting cramped for the three-person staff, Executive Director Kevin Atticks says.
The new office is located in a warehouse building with a loading dock that makes it easier to bring supplies into the office.
“We’re excited to have more space to be productive,” Atticks says.
The association is hosting more marketing events and needs the room to hold inventory. It just wrapped an event series called Eat, Drink, Go Local that pairs chefs with local wineries.
“The motivation was to connect local wine to the local food movement to bring more chefs and wineries together so they all got to know each other,” Atticks says.
The association is celebrating a major win in Annapolis. It lobbied hard for the recent change in wine shipping laws that allows Maryland consumers to order wine online.
