“This years' festival promises to give you blues from the sultry and sexy to the foot stompin´, fun lovin´, laughin´ and more.”

Great Shoals
On Stage:
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening or celebrating special times, Great Shoals has a place in your glass. Our hand crafted sparkling wines will mark any occasion with tiny bubbles.

We blend fruit from regional sources to create brut sparkling wines using the traditional méthode champenoise. Each bottle of Great Shoals Sparkling is filled with distinctive and complex flavors melded by the champagne process.

Operations of Great Shoals Winery are based in Mount Vernon, Somerset County, MD, along a sandy bank of the Wicomico River, not far from Great Shoals Light on the Upper Tangier Sound of the Chesapeake Bay. www.greatshoals.com


Aliceanna Winery
On Stage:
Aliceanna Winery started in 2008 as a small venture between friends, sharing the tiny workspace of one and the wine making knowledge of another. The winemaker has beenmaking wine since 1998 and learned from his grandfather, Carl Cagno, who began at the age of 14 in 1934.

The winemaker's grandfather, Carl Cagno, learned to make wine in 1934 at the age of 14 from his father, Vincent Cagno. He was taught because his older and younger brothers were uninterested in winemaking. Carl and his father made hundreds of gallons of wine in their basement over the years, and Carl remembers his father taking orders from their friends and neighbors. Carl, now 91, continues to make wine each fall and sometimes in the spring. He has passed on his winemaking knowledge to his two grandsons.

Erik, at age 16, began by watching his grandfather teach his older brother winemaking. At the age of 18, he realized he wanted to know more about winemaking and began learning from his grandfather. About 10 years later, after relocating to Baltimore, Erik began to pursue making wine commericially and Aliceanna Winery was born. www.aliceannawinery.com
