About Crush

Crush owners Bob Laggini and Janet Besanceney and their staff will offer us organic wine from Gemtree, a vineyard that is leading the greening movement in Australia. In addition,they will offer a selection of organic cheeses.

All of Crush's food is made from the freshest ingredients, with as much of it as possible being organic.

Crush Winehouse is fashioned after the many traditional wine bars scattered throughout the Italian countryside, where family owned social spots serve as the gathering place for local residents and tourists alike. Crush is the only wine bar in Annapolis offering retail sales of all of their wines, essentially allowing customers a 'try-before-you-buy' opportunity. So don't worry about finishing a bottle at Crush -- you can take it come.

And remember Crush is an eCruisers Annapolis restaurant shuttle Member Restaurant so you can call the dispatch number at 443-481-2422 for a ride to or from.

Chesapeake Green Living Festival

Save the new date!

Saturday & Sunday
, June 19 & 20
Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds
Crownsville


EXHIBITOR SPACE STILL AVAILABLE

We changed the date and location to bring you a bigger and better festival with  more outdoor space, more activities for kids, and more fun and education.

On Sunday, Father's Day, dads get in free when accompanied by their children.

Annapolis Green is a co-producer of the first annual Chesapeake Green Living Festival - a Chesapeake-centric show about all things Green in this area. We've changed the date and location of the festival to make it bigger and better!

The Chesapeake Green Living Festival is about creating a marketplace where green commerce can increase the bottom line while healing the planet and educated consumers can affordably incorporate Going Green into their daily lives. It's about home, Earth, you, and The Bay.

Plan to join us for this first ever Chesapeake Green Living showcase.

Information about the festival

We expect at least 3000 people to attend so consider spreading the word about your Green business. We are actively looking for vendors and sponsors, both businesses and non-profits! Interested?
