The Wine Collective, the urban winery tucked inside Union Collective in Baltimore's Medfield neighborhood, is calling last call on its tasting room later this month. The bar will stay open for a final run of public events and tastings, with March 15 set as the last day for general customers. For years, the space has poured house-made wines and vermouth, plated pintxos, hosted cooking classes, and put on live music, turning into a reliable neighborhood hangout.
What the Announcement Said
The owners broke the news on the winery's Instagram account, inviting regulars and first-timers alike to "come for a last glass" or load up on bottles and vermouth before the doors close after seven years in business. The post mapped out a short farewell tour of live music and events, including shows scheduled for March 11, March 12, and March 15, as reported by The Baltimore Banner.
Made in Baltimore, Served at the Bar
The Wine Collective produces its wines and line of vermouth in a sizable production space, then pours them in a cozy tasting room that pairs the bottles with Spanish-style pintxos and tapas. The operation has also offered workshops, cooking classes, and custom crush services for other winemakers. According to its own site, the tasting room has been a go-to for local wine fans and a regular host for special events and tastings, and The Wine Collective lists its address and hours online.
A Home at Union Collective
The tasting room sits inside Union Collective, a converted hangar building that gathered a cluster of makers and small businesses along the Medfield and Hampden corridor. The mixed-use setup helped create a makerspace-style environment where the winery could run a tasting room alongside other food and craft tenants. Local business listings and community guides point to the project’s role in bringing new life to the West 41st Street block, as outlined by Made in Baltimore.
Owners' Note to the Community
"This place became something far greater than we imagined," the owners wrote in their closing announcement, a line that summed up what the cooperative set out to be for the city and its supporters. The message, shared on Instagram and reported by The Baltimore Banner, went on to thank partners, staff, and the wider community for years of backing the project.
Final Tastings and Practical Info
The last public weekend in the tasting room is set to feature live shows and classes, with the team urging customers to check the website for the latest hours and event updates as the closing date approaches. For reservations, bottle purchases, and any last-minute information, the winery provides contact and booking details online along with a phone number for the tasting room. The Wine Collective will post ongoing updates and practical information.
