We go to Bull Run for kid friendly, but also used to be members at Chrysalis and went there many times with our kids. Barrel Oak is also great (and very dog friendly).

If you like beer, Wheatland Spring Farm + Brewery is also great, has picnic tables out on the lawn area where there's plenty of space for kids to run around without bothering other people.

I don't even drink and I clicked on this link hoping to find the name of the winery we went to years ago with friends, which had the most awesome playground made of enormous tires. It was in Poolesville, that I recall. Anyone know??

Was thinking it would be fun to go back now that my younger kid is old enough to play on the structures, and the food looked really good. They had food trucks I think. I didn't try the wine so that's not the draw!


Rocklands, probably. Don’t remember the tire thing, but it’s been a while.

We liked Antietam creek winery, combined it with some hiking at the battlefield. They have live music events, sometimes food trucks, picnic tables with fire pits & s’more’s kits. They have a menu, but we didn’t eat, had wine & kids did s’more’s.

I've been to a few that are definitely set up for kids to run around outside.


+1 paradise springs is great! We also like chrysalis. Also, we go to wineries all the time with kids, it’s really not a big deal and others do too.

NP and funny - Lone Oak Brewery actually *has* a playground for kids. You know, so they can run around and have fun while their parents enjoy a beer or two and talk with friends. It’s really not that hard a concept. It’s also not the same thing as pouring wine into a travel mug and bringing it with you everywhere you go.


Yes, companies have realized the prevalence of mommy wine culture and now offer playgrounds at wineries. Doesn’t make it okay.


Do you always engage in all or nothing thinking? That’s problematic.

I’ve been to a few MD/VA wineries over the years and it’s not like they’re booze feats. They’re typically pretty outdoor locations where people can try some wines as they might over dinner at a restaurant.


If you can't tell the difference not sure what we can tell you. Anyone who calls other people who are making common sense comments "Sanctimonious" sounds like an alcoholic to me.


If you’re getting sloshed a winery maybe you’re he one with a problem


+1 PP absolutely cannot control themselves when it comes to drinking and therefore assumes everyone has trouble just having a little and then stopping drinking.

On the MD side, Sugarloaf Mountain is right there which is a very nice hike, then the winery is just down the road. They bring in outside food vendors so I'd call/check their social media, but they also are friendly to outside food. They have lawn games too.
