Elk Run Vineyards | Maryland Wedding Venue in Mount Airy, Maryland

Elk Run Vineyards is a Maryland wedding venue in the rolling hills of Frederick County. It’s a working winery on a historic property dating to 1756, producing estate wine since 1983, and accumulating over 650 national and international awards along the way.

The Setting

The outdoor event space at Elk Run sits directly adjacent to the vineyard with rows of estate-grown grapes stretching to the horizon. Then there’s the rolling Frederick County countryside beyond, and the kind of quiet that makes guests exhale the moment they arrive. A hexagonal tent with a wooden dance floor overlooks the vineyard for approximately 75 seated guests. A pavilion with a stage accommodates live music or a DJ. And acres of vineyard backdrop give photographers something to work with in every direction.
