Running Hare Vineyard Reviews

Running Hare Vinyards was the best location for me and my new husband to get married at. We can have everything in one place. Wedding and reception

We had our sunset wedding at the pavillian. It was beyond beautiful and the view of the winery was spectacular. Venues event planner Talyor was amazing, very friendly and so helpful. This was the perfect place for our day.
Thank you Cheryl & Taylor

Running Hare is so beautiful and I highly recommend this venue. My husband and I could not have imagined a more picturesque setting to get married in. My favorite spot at the venue is the garden tunnel where we did our first look because it is the most idyllic location. The Tuscan Events Center is huge and spacious, and all of the French doors open to the portico area so it is the perfect indoor/outdoor venue. My only negative thing to say is that when I was planning my wedding they did not have a hired wedding coordinator. The owner and GM were very responsive to all of my emails and still helped with my questions, but I didn’t know if I was going to have a day of coordinator until a few days before the wedding. They might have hired someone since then though, and I still highly recommend this venue because we had the most beautiful wedding we could have imagined!

Running Hare Vineyard was the absolute best wedding venue for my husband and I. From the first time we visited RH we knew it was something special and not like most venues. It is beyond beautiful. The Tuscan villa is not something you would normally find in Maryland. I would definitely recommend RH. It is not only beautiful but working with Kim and Taylor was pleasant. Taylor updated you on things and was timely with emails which created less stress for myself. I would give RH and the experience of having my wedding there 10/10!

Running Hare Vineyard was the perfect place for our wedding. It was gorgeous and so convenient to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at on venue. The bridal suite was absolutely adorable as well. They had great recommendations for vendors and everything went perfectly. Taylor was so easy to work with and very responsive with all of our questions leading up to the wedding day!

We got married on June 2, 2019, and we both agreed that we couldn't have chosen a better place to get married. The venue was simply beautiful, and all our guests agreed that Running Hare and the wedding was gorgeous. As other brides/grooms have mentioned, there is plenty of parking next to the ceremony site and a walkway leading up to the reception site. The Bridal Suite was also an added plus, and the timeline went without a hitch. You do need to purchase wine, but the Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, and Rose were well-loved by our guests.

Taylor was wonderful to work with, and I highly recommend using Ken's Creative Kitchen as the caterer (on their approved vendors list). Trust me, you won't regret it.

I do want to mention to brides that if you are having a June outdoor wedding in Maryland to be prepared for the chance of rain! We got lucky and were able to avoid the rain during the ceremony (we got the lucky rain and a rainbow during the reception!), but the forecast definitely had me stressed leading up to the date!

Running Hare Vineyards has the best of both worlds. A quaint outdoor spot for an intimate ceremony and an indoor reception area with breathtaking views. The portico was a great place for the pre-reception cocktail party. The views of the vineyard from the reception villa are amazing, especially with the sun setting.

We just got married last Saturday! It was cold and sunny the day of but it was still beautiful. I highly recommend getting married here in the fall because the foliage made the pictures and video that much better.

Running Hare Vineyard was the perfect venue for us. A little piece of Tuscany secretly nestled in suburbia, the venue and ceremony site are incredibly gorgeous. When we first booked in 2016, Barb answered all of our questions and allowed us a tasting after we booked. The wedding coordinator is now Maura and she is amazing. She took us through another tour with family, a final walk through, and tastings for family as well! She also worked through my many questions and requests and was SO easy to work with throughout the wedding process. Our first look occurred in the new beautiful, (tastefully) overgrown grape vine arbor - we couldn't have chosen a more beautiful and intimate spot. The vineyard was in full bloom for all of our pictures, and I can't wait to see them! Overall, this venue was perfect for us on our big day.

We absolutely LOVED everything about Running Hare Vineyard. We had made several site visits prior to seeing RHV and had a few more in mind, but after our initial visit and meeting with the owner Barb, we knew this was the place for us. Running Hare exclusively works with Maryland Country Caterers, which is often a turn off for a venue, but after speaking with Dave of MCC for the first time on the phone I felt completely at ease with working with them. Barb was absolutely fantastic work with -- very kind and enthusiastic, always professional and quick to respond to any emails or phone calls. I also had every bride's worst nightmare -- 100% heavy rain in the forecast for your wedding weekend. As soon as I knew it would be inevitable that there would be at least some rain on our big day, Barb and our amazing team of vendors (which was predominantly comprised of Barb's recommendations) went straight to work in contacting one another to work out a plan to make everything wonderful and reached out to me to let me know they had everything covered and not to worry... and boy did they deliver! While we still got a bit of outdoor photos, we opted to have the ceremony indoors so our guests were sure to be comfortable and they did such a brilliant job of making the indoor ceremony magical and gorgeous. It was definitely better than anything I would have imagined after having to make the call to opt out of their gorgeous outdoor site. We adore the entire Running Hare Vineyard and extended team and can't wait to visit again this summer to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere some more.

Words can't express how happy we are to have selected Running Hare to celebrate the Union of our marriage with our family and friends. The vineyard is absolutely breathtaking and Barbara was so sweet and wonderful to work with. Our wedding day was amazing and working with the exclusive catering company was a dream. They also helped make our wedding day unforgettable. We recommend Running Hare not only for their wine but for anyone who is looking for the perfect venue. We couldn't have asked for more!

Running Hare Vineyard was the perfect place to hold a wedding. The views were stunning, the venue was beyond beautiful, and the reception hall was perfectly decorated for a wedding. Barb the owner was very professional to work with and I appreciated her personal touch of stopping by at the wedding and wishing me and my husband the best. The location was incredibly romantic and my family has said that they will be talking about this venue for a long time. I loved how we were able to get married amongst the vines and walk in the vineyard for pictures. It was a beautiful and unique location as many vineyards don’t allow you to walk in between the rows of vines. This is a wonderful location and I would recommend it to everyone.

Where to start .... the whole experience was absolutely wonderful. RHV is absolutely the venue where dreams come true. Barb truly cares about her brides and their big days. This care shows in the great details of the building and ceremony site. She is highly responsive on email and phone for questions or concerns. She has a absolutely fantastic listing of vendors in which are held to high standards and expectations.

If you are looking at vineyards I would more than highly encourage you to visit RHV in person to tour the facility. You will feel that you have a private vineyard and your day will be stunning.

This hobby gone wild is the dream come true that made my wedding perfect.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the vineyard. The property is stunning and the villa is breath taking. Our wedding was magical and we have Running Hare to thank and I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding.
Advice for future brides - you will not regret choosing RHV as your event location.

We had the most magical experience at Running Hare for our October 2024 wedding! Having lived in Calvert County my whole life, I had no idea this gem of a venue existed until recently. Now it’s somewhere my husband and I love to go to, to listen to music + grab drinks, so we knew it was the perfect place for our special day!
The staff at Running Hare went above and beyond to make our wedding day flawless. Our coordinator Taylor was incredibly attentive, helping us through every detail of the planning process + keeping us organized.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding. Running Hare made our day truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend it to any couple!

I have nothing but great things to say about Taylor and her team. Taylor and her team were super responsive with any question or request we had for our big wedding day. The day of planning on the venue was great despite having to move the ceremony indoors due to the rain. I highly recommend planning an event/wedding here. The wine, vineyard and staff are worth it !

Running Hare Vineyard is an absolutely stunning venue! The staff was incredibly helpful and willing to work with us to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. They are very easy to contact and work with. I would definitely recommend having your wedding at Running Hare Vineyard.

We loved our wedding at Running Hare! Taylor was amazing throughout the entire planning process by reminding us when payments or details were due and giving us plenty of time to get it to her. It took away the stress of having to remember every little detail of our contract. They were responsive and helpful from the moment we showed up for a tour. The location is beautiful and everything looked perfect on our wedding day! Taylor even got a light fixed that we noticed was broken on the evening of our rehearsal. We saved so much money on decorations because of how beautiful the location is. My only negative is that they don't give you much time to get ready in their bridal room (2 hrs prior to ceremony), so you do have to make other arrangements for that.

Taylor at Running Hare Vineyard was very professional and responsive. She helped make my venue search easy and fun! I am very detailed oriented and like to check and double check logistical details. Taylor was very patient with me and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.

The venue speaks for itself! It is beautiful! I could not have picked a better location to have my ceremony and reception at. It went off without a hitch and my guests LOVED the wine.

Its is a great space, has pleasant staff and the Vineyard will provide an awesome backdrop for your professional photos. It made me feel like I was in Europe. If you are looking for elegance with a touch of rustic, then this is the right place for you. You won't be disappointed!

Our wedding at Running Hare Vineyard on April 27, 2019 was amazing! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful! We used the pergola to have an outdoor ceremony and then went into the Tuscan Villa to have the indoor cocktail hour/reception - we had the best of both worlds! There was enough parking for all 110 guests and even though there was another wine event at RH. The other band did not play 30 minutes before our wedding and we didn't hear a peep during or after our ceremony.

The management was great. Taylor was a joy to work with always answering questions even when she was off. She was there the day of just to make sure that everything ran smoothly. For the price you can't beat it.

The Villa was amazing to use as well. We had an 8-piece band, photo booth, cake area, and 4 food stations, 110 guests and there was plenty of room to move around.

The best part was that our dog (chocolate Lab) was allowed to be on the property at the ceremony to be the ring pup. RH worked with us to allow him to get pictures at the end as well.

The pictures were great and the entire event was amazing.

Don't hesitate to book your wedding at RH!

There is literally no word in the English language that I can use to properly embody this venue!! It is simply breath taking and such a dream to be married in the vines of the vineyard and celebrate your nuptials in the Tuscan Villa. Accompanied by the GORGEOUS chandelier that is literally out of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Phantom of the Opera" combined!

Taylor, the site manager, is an absolute joy to work with and really makes sure all of your questions and needs are met. She weaved in and out the day of the ceremony only popping up when you realized you needed her and was ready to do anything you need!

Seriously, book this venue. It will be the talk of your guests for MONTHS. It was a non stop discussion of how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything was orchestrated with their list of recommended vendors. It literally was my dream venue for our wedding day!

Running Hare was an amazing venue. They were willing to give me as many tours as needed and were extremely accommodating.

Running Hare was the first and only wedding venue that we visited. I fell in love with it. They made planning very easy and recommended the perfect caterer to help make our wedding day perfect. You have to buy 4 cases of wine but we didn’t mind. Our guests drink lots of wine and the caterer made a delicious sangria with their Jack Rabbit red. It was a magical day and worth every penny.

Our experience with Running Hare Vineyard for our daughter's wedding on Saturday, November 12, 2016 was amazing. The ceremony site was so beautiful with the fall foliage as the backdrop. The main events building set the stage for the Tuscan vibe that the happy couple was seeking. The uplighting made for a welcoming atmosphere for family and friends in attendance. The Riesling and Sangiovese wines complimented the meal perfectly. Barbara was amazing. She answered every question I had in a timely fashion. Thank you so much for helping us put on a wonderful event.
