A wine tasting at the bar, planned around your group
Stem & Vine is a plant shop, a bar and a gallery at 326 N Charles St in downtown Baltimore, and a wine tasting here is booked ahead for your group.
At the Botany Bar, gold shelves of bottles stand against a floral wall and plants hang overhead. You choose the date and the headcount, and the team plans the tasting around both. A birthday, an anniversary, a team gathering or other special events can all take one. The guided wine flight is three wines poured in sequence, with someone walking the group through them, and it adds $13 a guest to a hosted bar package.
We aren't a winery with a tasting room and a pour schedule. The Botany Bar, the shop's wine bar, shelves its wines and spirits by region, the way the plants are, and the drink program centers Black-owned and women-owned makers. Every drink at a tasting comes through our bar team, since outside alcohol isn't permitted.
How many are you bringing?
Choose the size closest to your group and your request starts with it. Add a date if you have one, and the team confirms the room once they have both.
