Like many Italian immigrants, Bertero Basignani’s grandparents, Annunziata and Scandiano Bechini, brought the practice of home winemaking with them from Italy. Following in their footsteps, Bert aspired to carry on the family tradition. In 1972, while still a student at Towson State University, Bert bought 10 acres of farmland in Butler, Maryland. In the back of his mind he envisioned someday planting a vineyard to make his own wine. In 1974 he married Lynne and they knew they wanted to share their passion with the world together.

In 2017 Bert & Lynne opened their winery for intimate weddings of 65-75 guests. The grape vines and willow trees create the most picturesque backdrop for your special day. For more information, please inquire today!
