Things to Do in Bel Air

Boordy, owned and operated by the R.B. Denford family, is the oldest winery in the Baltimore area. Stepping onto the Boordy property is like walking through a delicious wormhole into a nostalgic past where everyone had wine. Confront tipsy ghosts in the 1830s stone wine cellar as you and a friend, loved one, or sentient android sample the available oak-aged cabernets, vivid chardonnays, seyval blancs, and more. After whetting your taste for vino, you'll get to drink an entire glass of non-reserve wine and even take home a Boordy wine glass for at-home elixirs of coffee and orange juice.

Charm City's founder Kim Manfredi has instructed the Baltimore Ravens since 2004 and brings her 22 years of mat experience to courses that range from beginner-friendly Level 1 classes to advanced Level 3s. In beginner-yoga classes, a slow pace and careful verbal instructions impart the basics of breath awareness, mental concentration, and dodgeball mastery. Charm City’s signature Hot Vinyasa–style classes take place in 85- to 90-degree rooms, designed to loosen up ropey limbs to make stretches deeper, more effective, and more impressive to any inflexible invisible friends you may have. Other styles taught at Charm City include Ashtanga, which emphasizes dynamic postures, and prenatal yoga for those stretching for two.

CBS Baltimore lauds Robin Hood Paintball as one of the best paintball arenas near the city, but the year-round, 10-acre facility is actually eight arenas in one. Here, players clad in protective gear race around the airball field's bobbing inflatables, duck behind the wood-spool field's namesake spools or wrap their opponents in giant piles of unused thread. Elsewhere, they sneak through the tall trees and verdant brush of three wooded fields or storm the arena's towering castle. Thorough safety orientations prepare each player before they enter the facility, where referees keep watchful eyes over every game to ensure everyone's safety and compliance with the rules.
