    Rustic but charming winery in a farm setting in rural Montgomery County, Maryland. Far away from the hustle and bustle of Washington, DC (and even nearby Rockville, MD), and down a winding, narrow road and a narrow bridge, one finds this pleasant winery. Set among farm fields and the lush countryside, there are several buildings including a main tasting room where business is conducted. As locally-owned wineries have sprung up with some scale in recent years, people have gravitated to unique experiences close to (or far away from) home. In many of these cases, customers don't truly expect wine that's excellent unless they're located somewhere where that's truly common. Some customers like the Rocklands wine well enough that they become club members with allotments provided quarterly. This also allows for a slight discount for the tastings. Among the standout aspects of Rocklands: -A staff that's welcoming and good natured. -Plenty of seating options including inside the tasting room and in a nearby barn as well as outdoors with some shaded from the sun. -Food trucks parked nearby. -Free parking about 50 years from the tasting room. -Charcuterie-type selections for purchase from a refrigerated section in the tasting room. Cutting board and knife are provided. The wines are in the $30 range-ish and run the gamut from wines to reds as well as sparking and some other beer/wine hybrids. There's no admission per se, but one will want to purchase either a bottle (bottles) of wine or try one of the flights to get an idea how/whether their wines align with a given palate. As mentioned above, this location is all about the experience. When the weather is lovely, a glass or two of wine seems to pair quite nicely. What could make it five stars? Better wine for one. While rustic is charming, some more elegant or comfortable seating options would be nice, perhaps a more upscale barn themed building offering tastings.

    What a wonderful experience. I love their core philosophy of food, nourishment and engagement. At Rocklands Farm they are true "farmers first." Everything leans towards more organic and natural processes. AND they have wonderful partners! You can buy fresh meats, flowers and of course, wine! 🍷It's a beautiful, family friendly, casual atmosphere to enjoy a lovely day in the Montgomery County Agriculture Reserve.

    It is SUCH a quintessential hidden gem! Very friendly staff and beautiful farm with delicious wines. All the workers were very knowledgeable and passionate about wine and winemaking. All the wines fully ferment and thus are all dry wines. There are few wines that are more fruity and give a perception of sweetness but do not actually contain any residual sugar! Private tours are available on weekends for free! :)

    Rocklands Farm Winery is the best! Today was my 3rd visit to Rocklands with a group of non-vino friends. From the start of our tasting we felt right at home as if we were family. Ty, our tasting host, was beyond knowledgeable of all the wines and helped our group branch out by tasting and comparing the wine offerings. We came for a tasting but Ty made sure we left with an education. I was so impressed with Ty that I ended up becoming a wine club member. Ty even took our group on a private tour of the winery and the grounds making the experience that much more special. Thank you to Ty and all the other amazing Rocklands staff who make Rocklands Farm Winery such a special place for my friends and I to have a much needed weekend get away.

    Rocklands Farm is a hands-down my favorite Maryland winery! The wine is always excellent - and I appreciate their commitment to low intervention, sustainable production. The staff, however, is the main reason to visit. Everyone who works here - from the family who owns the farm to the management team, the tasting room staff, the winemakers, and every last team member I’ve ever encountered - is friendly, knowledgeable, and super-helpful! Every time we visit, they greet us like family and make us feel welcome and special. In addition to the amazing people, Rocklands is in an absolutely beautiful location with a wonderful rustic farm atmosphere. The tasting room is in a lovely barn with plenty of space to peruse their wine selections along with a selection of snacks and gift items. Over the past couple of years, they have added numerous different options for both indoor and outdoor seating - with coverage from the summer sun and heaters and fire pits available so that you can enjoy the farm in cold weather, too. I can’t recommend Rocklands highly enough! If you haven’t visited yet, you’re missing out!

    The service and hospitality Adele gave us was impeccable! We immediately felt welcomed and were able to get help with choosing our wine flight. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was quiet, peaceful and a beautiful day. Will definitely come back!!!

    Been here twice and have always had a great time! Like everyone said, the staff are attentive, and the wine selection is great 😃! My BF and I also particularly love the Argentina steak food truck - check their website to see dates they are there!

    My wife and I discovered Rocklands Farm Winery in July, and we have been back three times since. The staff is gracious and knowledgeable, the grounds and tasting room are beautiful, and the wines are unique and delicious. We even had an opportunity this week to work with the Glenn family and the farm employees to help harvest this year's Gruner and Chardonnel grapes. A wonderful experience. Highly recommended place to visit often.

    We had a great time here and enjoyed our flights - we got two flights of pick your own three. I liked three of the six, but not quite enough to buy any bottles. We also purchased some crackers, hummus, and almonds to snack on while we were there. There were a lot of people there, and they had seating option spread all around the property. It was fun people-watching, but music would have been nice.

    My family visited for the first time on Mothers Day and it was a great experience. Plenty of space to have a picnic. The staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly and pleasant to talk too. The wine selection was nice and fairly priced. Would definitely come back.

    Was here photographing a wedding a bit ago. Loved the venue. Great for medium sized weddings. If youre looking for a barn/farm style wedding in Montgomery County, this is the spot to be! Great place to be on the weekend too to enjoy some sun. ig@jsasuphotography

    This place is by far the best winery i have been to. And it’s kid friendly!! They do wine tasting. When you do go ask for Glen. He is amazing. He knew some much about the wine and even gave my son a free juice. We did the wine tour and the own Greg gave us the tour. He allowed my son to cork his own bottle, took him to see the chicken coop, and his wife’s beautiful garden. We did go back during harvest time and we were able to taste the difference stages of the wine. There are plenty of seats around and you can reserve some seats also!

    This is a great escape from hustle bustle of the city. They have a free winery tour on Saturday’s where they explain nicely how they create wines with least intervention. The whole vibe of the place is very nice. There is ample of seatings and lot of food options. Greg who was our tour guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. Its a must visit place and yes the wines are worth every penny.

    I love this winery so much, it has quickly become my favorite. It's a little off the beaten path but is so beautiful and a fun place to walk around and relax. They make excellent wines! Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their wines and are eager to answer any questions you may have about them. They have a lovely outdoor and open air area. It makes you feel cozy and warm even if it's a little chilly. They also have live music on Fridays! Such a treat to come to Rocklands.

    I visited this winery with some friends, and it was a really nice place! There was one incident that occurred, but Sarah, a manager, was SO helpful in making sure everything was corrected and made good. She stepped right in and made sure we were taken care of the rest of our visit. We’ll definitely be back! The wines we tasted were great, there was something for everyone in the group! Prices were fair, vibes were out of this world!

    Lovely winery for hanging out outdoors. Tons of space and they have areas/covered barn that you can rent out for private parties. They also have an indoor venue but why would you come here to stay inside? 😂 They have preselected wine flights available for $16 or choose your own for $18. Also glasses and bottles available for individual purchase. Wish I had taken photos.

    This is my happy place this summer! Since we’d discovered it in July we have come at least 7 times. We had a couple dates here, we brought friends. This weekend we grabbed a table at the upstairs barn and had a boardgame & wine day. Enjoyed the cider, enjoyed the whites and the rose, enjoyed food from the vendors and the ice cream, spent 4.5 hours. We will definitely be back many times.

    I got there after dark. There were signs that led to the parking lot. It was Completely dark!!! Luckily my friends were there and met me outside… Once i got inside the band was playing and it was really nice. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. I got to taste the wine before i purchased. There was a food truck with paella. I had the seafood paella and it was pretty good…We had such a great time! It was really cold inside however…

    Beautiful setting, lovely to sit amongst the trees and enjoy wonderful wines. They have some snacks available for purchase (cheese, crackers, meats), but also have a schedule of food vendors that are on site some days. Wines are delicious, a bit on the pricey side (24+ per bottle) but great selection from the farm. The pizza vendor they have on site some days is amazing, delicious - must have. Check their site for food vendor and events schedule. You are also able to bring your own food and picnics to enjoy with their wines. Explore the property, so many beautiful areas to sit and enjoy the country atmosphere. They have reserved areas for adults only and for families. A definite recommendation for locals and those visiting the area.

    Absolutely love everything about this place. The farm is so beautiful and inviting, and the staff are so accommodating, knowledgeable, and they make you feel like family! The wine is also so so good. The Montevideo is my favorite!

    We celebrated our daughters first birthday at Rocklands. We arrived right at noon and grabbed a table in a big field. The wine was delicious, the staff was so helpful. Kids were able to run around the field with great abandon - we didn’t even make it down to the playground area. Staff came by twice just to ensure we were having a pleasant time and ask if we needed anything. This was such a perfect day and we are so grateful Rocklands is family friendly

    The wine is outstanding. The environment here is absolutely incredible! Staff are extraordinarily helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and professional. The setting is serene, very peaceful. Oh, and I mention the wine?… It’s a must-have!
