Since opening in 2017, Broken Spoke Winery has been shaped by owners Rob and Thea Hall, whose Delaware and Chesapeake City roots meet in a farm-centered gathering place. Rob brings experience as a winemaker and chef, while Thea draws on her agricultural background to guide the tasting room and events. Their Earleville winery is known for inviting guests to slow down, meet the farm animals, and start a conversation.

Opened in November 2012, the adults-only winery pairs its dry and sweet wines with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.SMITHSBURG, MD
