Venue Spotlight: Big Cork Vineyards | Maryland Wine Country Weddings & Events

When you’re looking for an event venue that combines beautiful scenery, great food and wine, and a setting that feels special from the moment guests arrive, Big Cork Vineyards in Rohrersville, Maryland is hard to beat.

Located in the rolling hills of Maryland wine country, Big Cork Vineyards offers a beautiful backdrop for weddings, corporate events, celebrations, and other special occasions. With sweeping vineyard views, inviting indoor spaces, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, it is a venue that can be transformed to fit a wide variety of events.

And, of course, there’s the wine.

A Beautiful Setting for Any Season

One of the things we love about Big Cork Vineyards is how naturally beautiful the property is.

The vineyard provides a gorgeous backdrop for an outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, while the changing seasons give the property a completely different feel throughout the year.

Imagine a summer celebration surrounded by lush green vines, an autumn wedding with warm seasonal colors throughout the landscape, or a cozy gathering where guests can enjoy the vineyard views with a glass of wine in hand.

The scenery does a lot of the decorating for you.

Spaces That Can Be Customized to Your Event

Big Cork offers several spaces that give you flexibility when planning your event.

The tasting room provides an inviting indoor setting with large windows that bring the surrounding landscape into the event. The terrace offers an opportunity for guests to enjoy the outdoors, while the expansive lawn provides plenty of space for larger gatherings, tents, entertainment, and outdoor receptions.

That flexibility makes Big Cork a great option for everything from an intimate celebration to a larger wedding or corporate event.

You can create a day that moves naturally from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing while taking advantage of the different spaces throughout the property.

Wine Country and Great Food

Of course, one of the biggest draws of hosting an event at a vineyard is the opportunity to incorporate wine into the experience.

Big Cork produces its wines on-site, giving couples and event hosts the opportunity to pair their food and beverage selections with locally produced wines.

And that’s where the menu becomes especially important.

At Simply Fresh Events, we love creating menus that complement the setting and give guests an experience that feels cohesive from beginning to end.

For an event at Big Cork, that could mean a relaxed cocktail hour featuring seasonal bites, a beautifully plated dinner, or a menu designed specifically around the wines being served.

The goal isn’t simply to provide food. It’s to create a menu that feels like it belongs at the venue and becomes part of the overall experience.
