Wine and Grape Grants

The Governor's Advisory Commission on Maryland Wine and Grape Growing is seeking grant proposals from anyone trying to increase the production of wine grapes in the state.

Grants are made through the Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund, which was established in 2005 to promote the production and consumption of Maryland wine and the production of grapes.

The grant can be used statewide for marketing, research, advertising, retail and festival promotions and educational seminars. Funds available this year total $147,000.
