A new wine-tasting room is scheduled to open next month at Stone House Square in Hagerstown's North End — and owner and Manager Lorie Dixon can't wait.
Dixon said the Olney Winery Tasting Room's opening is planned for June 3 and 4 in the stone house at 12810 Shank Farm Way.
Renovations to the building should be completed by next week, she said.
Dixon said she also will be hiring and training staff, with six to eight employees to get the business started.
The winery is based in Olney, but its wines have been featured at festivals throughout the state.
That was how "we found out we have a lot of people (in Hagerstown) who really like our wines," Dixon said.
Dixon said she had originally planned to open a similar business in Wisconsin but decided to join Olney Winery instead. The winemaker has been operating since 2012.
"They were doing well in Olney and wanted to branch out," she said. "We found the stone house, and it was the perfect spot. There's a lot of ambience and a lot of parking."
Tentative hours will be noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; noon to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Special events are being planned for the week leading up to opening.
"I'm really excited. I can't wait for it to happen," Dixon said. "Everybody's been great."
Apparently, she is not the only one who is excited.
"My Facebook page has gotten quite a lot of followers," she said.
