GBCC's 98th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH VINO 301

GBCC Members celebrated our Chamber's 98th Anniversary with a half-day winery outing hosted by Vino 301 at Black Ankle Vineyards. During the private coach bus ride to the winery, our Concierge, Cristina, shared wonderful information about Maryland's wine history and culture. Upon arrival at the vineyards, Vino 301 provided gourmet lunches, and Black Ankle offered a wine tasting experience. Finally, the group was invited on a behind the scenes tour of the bottling facilities and cellars. It was a picture perfect day - thank you to our hosts, and CHEERS to 98 years, GBCC!
