The visit included a discussion of the founding and history of Perigeaux’s vineyards; soil and climate conditions for growing grapes in Southern Maryland; Perigeaux’s sustainable agriculture and wine-making philosophy; an overview of the agro-tourism industry in Maryland, with a focus on the Patuxent Wine Trail; and future plans for the expansion of the vineyards and winery at Perigeaux.
