Plein Air: Windridge Vineyard

Windridge Vineyard is a family owned farm winery situated on the Piedmont plateau of Maryland.  Views are vast and colorful in the fall.  We will enjoy a morning of painting together in this spectacular spot while it is closed to the public.  This is a rare opportunity!
