About Blue Mountain Wine Crafters
Blue Mountain Wine Crafters is a boutique winery in quaint Funkstown, Maryland. We buy choice grapes from vineyards right here in the mountains of Washington County and make delicious, award-winning wines on site.
We believe in supporting other local small businesses by buying local fruits, cheese, candy, popcorn and peanuts to serve at the winery. We also sell local candles and honey.

Our Story
Tim and Cindy Rowe established Blue Mountain Wine Crafters, LLC in September 2014. A retired Dental Hygienist, Cindy worked in the field for more than 30 years while Tim is a Certified Safety Professional working in his field for nearly 30 years. Together, they also have more than 20 years of experience making wine. They wanted to pursue their hobby of wine-making and expand their interest in beer brewing with the community.
In December of 2014, Cindy and Tim met with the owner of The Cracked Cork (the store’s former name) in Funkstown, MD, and took over the store. Among other things, they wanted to carry on the hometown, small business atmosphere, and share the passion for wine and beer making.
In May of 2016, they moved to 117 East Baltimore Street also in Funkstown, and became a winery, offering Blue Mountain Wine Crafters wine for tasting and bottle sales. The grapes from all their wines come from right here in Washington County, MD at a nearby vineyard, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
A Tradition of Service
Cindy and Tim are so happy to have met so many nice people in running their business. They hope to continue meeting new friends and enjoy the many friendships already made.
Stop by the store for a tasting or enjoy a glass or bottle of wine. Above all, feel free to share your stories, ask questions, and see what Blue Mountain Wine Crafters can do to help you become a better vintner or brewer. Or, make your own with us!
