Black Ankle Vineyards is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Maryland countryside. As you traverse the undulating hills and take in the panoramic views, you can already sense that an extraordinary experience awaits you. Established in 2002, this family-owned winery has quickly earned a reputation for producing exceptional wines that reflect Maryland’s rolling landscape. Mt. Airy is about 75 minutes north west of Baltimore Maryland but is a world away. We make Black Ankle an annual June tradition with the family.

In 2023 we took a family trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. We’ve been to WDW several times, but this was by far the most fun ever.

I am a Dayton Ohio based travel photographer, and my Disney photos are below.
