THE MARKET
Discover a curated selection of fine foods at our upscale grab-and-go market, where convenience meets culinary craftsmanship. From gourmet cheeses and artisan meats to handcrafted spreads, savory dips, and freshly baked breads, every item is thoughtfully chosen to perfectly pair with our award-winning wine. Satisfy your sweet tooth with decadent chocolates and exquisite desserts, perfect for gifting or savoring yourself. Whether you're building the ultimate charcuterie board, planning a picnic, or simply craving something extraordinary, the Tasting Room at Big Cork Vineyards brings the best of gourmet to your fingertips.
MASSA PIZZA
Authentic Sicilian Style, Unforgettable Flavor
Craving something hot, hearty, and full of flavor? Look no further. Massa Pizza brings the bold, rich tradition of Sicilian-style bakery pizza straight to our oven. Each pizza is handcrafted with care, using only high-quality, all-natural ingredients — from fresh produce to premium meats and cheeses sourced from renowned makers like Grande and Bel Gioioso.
Our thick, airy crust is what sets them apart: hand-formed, fermented for 48 hours, then hand-docked in extra virgin olive oil for unmatched depth of flavor. The result? A light yet satisfyingly crispy bite with every slice.
CRAFT BREWS
Have you heard the word? BIG Cork is now proud to pour craft beers from our Maryland neighbors at Rockwell, Monocacy Brewing and Brewer’s Alley.
Love wine, but have a beer aficionado or two in your group? Now you can all come to BIG Cork and drink local! Stop in – as we plan to rotate our local selections all season.
RESERVE A TABLE
Witness the bigness in person
Perfect for small gatherings up to six people, celebrations, or intimate afternoons, this feature ensures reserved seating on our picturesque, covered vineyard terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains. Guests can relax and savor BIG Cork’s award-winning wines alongside our gourmet pizzas, while taking in one of our scheduled live music performances with BCV’s beautiful vineyards as the backdrop.
While we offer the option to rent a table, we still have ample non-reserved seating available to our guests. Don't have a reservation? Come on over, our staff will be happy to help you find the perfect spot!
