Spirits Of Maryland: Southern Maryland
Celebrate Maryland’s distilling heritage at the Spirits of Maryland: Southern Maryland pop-up tasting event!
Hosted inside the PAX River Naval Air Museum, this one-of-a-kind experience pairs local spirits with local history, featuring award-winning whiskeys, rums, vodkas, gins, and more — all made right here in Maryland.
Start your day with Whiskey University’s educational seminar, Maryland’s Whiskey Legacy. From 12:00–1:00 pm, attendees will explore the state’s historic role in shaping America’s whiskey industry and discover how Maryland’s distillers are fueling a modern revival.
Then, enjoy one of two tasting sessions:
Early Session: 1:00–3:00 pm

Late Session: 3:30–5:30 pm
