The Urban Winery

Overview

The Urban Winery in Silver Spring, MD is the closest winery to our nation’s capital and the first winery in our region in an urban environment.

The Urban Winery was created with the understanding that wine is a social occasion. Our wines are best enjoyed in the company of friends and family, a concept deeply instilled in us by owner Georgia Callis’s father, Anthony “Bole”. Georgia began making wine at an early age, learning the trade from her father, a Greek immigrant carpenter who started making wine in the 1970’s in America. As Georgia advanced from crushing grapes with her feet as a child, to creating her own wines as a young adult, she meet Damon, a Marine, who was determined to marry her. Bole encouraged her to invite Damon over to make wine. It was not only a rite of passage for dating his daughter, but a tradition that has passed from generation to generation, a true test of loyalty and family. Eager to impress Bole and win the hand of his daughter, Damon took them up on the offer and winemaking became a treasured hobby.
