Bordeleau Winery

Bordeleau Vineyards & Winery sits along Wicomico Creek south of Salisbury, Maryland — its name translating to "The Water's Edge," a nod to the property's defining natural character. Founded in 1998 when co-owner and winemaker Tom Shelton purchased the farm in Allen, Maryland, Bordeleau planted its first vines in 1999 and earned its commercial license in 2006. Over the years, the estate has grown to encompass more than 13 acres of vineyards producing varieties from Chardonnay and Vidal Blanc to Malbec, Petite Verdot, and Viognier. The winery hosts a range of private events — from bachelorette parties and bridal showers to corporate gatherings, anniversary celebrations, and nonprofit fundraisers. Two event spaces are available for private use: the Banquet Room, which seats up to 65 guests with views overlooking the vineyard, and the Tasting Room, accommodating up to 65 guests and available Mondays through Tuesdays or by request on other days. Outside catering is permitted, and only Bordeleau wines are served on-site.
