Things to do in St. Michaels, Maryland (MD): The Best Food & Drink
Calling itself "The Heart & Soul of the Chesapeake Bay," the town of Saint Michaels, Maryland retains the look and feel of a 19th century seaport. Walk on red brick sidewalks past the Victorian homes and boutique shops of the historic district, or head down to the pier in search of famously fresh seafood. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum preserves the history of Saint Michaels, with restored examples of "bugeyes" and "skipjacks," unique boats developed by the fisherman of Chesapeake Bay.

The barista was very knowledgeable and "walked" us through the various selections offered by Lyon's Distellery. We had fun tasting the many varieties, and purchased several.

I LOVED this spot. It feels a little tucked away and hidden, which is unfortunate considering it offers the best wine in St Michael’s. Make sure to seek it out, as their barrel oak Chardonnay is some of the best I’ve ever had. I love this place so much I’m willing to make the two hour drive alone for a wine haul. They have a wide variety of wines and ciders to please just about everybody!

Although Covid has placed restrictions on most all businesses St Michaels found a way to still deliver a very enjoyable expeirence. The "flights" offered a chnce to see what you wanted to take home at an agreeable price. Before this place I'd never tried a wine slushy. Now I make them at home with wine I bought from the winery. A cool day trip!
