i. Biography
Lisa Hinton has built a career around steadiness more than display, and around place more than flourish. As winemaker at Burnt Hill Farm in Clarksburg, Maryland, she works with estate wines and thoughtful nonalcoholic pairings in view. Since 2011, she has also held the winemaker role at Old Westminster Winery, giving her work a clear line: one craft, two addresses, and a consistent focus on wine shaped for site and meal.
The Climb
Winemaking at Old Westminster Winery has been Lisa Hinton’s line of work since 2011, and that long run points to repetition, judgment, and care rather than spectacle. At Old Westminster Winery, her practice reads as measured and exacting, built through the daily discipline that defines production work over time. The result is a style that treats listening to the wine as part of the job. Burnt Hill Farm adds a second post without changing the underlying approach. As winemaker there, Lisa Hinton brings the same quiet authority to another vineyard setting, and the dual role gives the work a straightforward shape: two places, one point of view. Across both posts, the emphasis stays on wines rooted in their surroundings and on pairings that make room for more than alcohol alone.
Today
At Burnt Hill Farm in Clarksburg, Maryland, the estate setting frames Lisa Hinton’s current work. The focus remains on estate wines and thoughtful nonalcoholic pairings, a combination that asks for precision on both sides of the menu. In that register, the wine and the nonalcoholic offerings are treated as equal parts of the same table. For Hinton, the role is less about title than about how the meal is read from the cellar outward. The estate provides the context, but the work extends beyond the glass to the full dining experience. The aim is coherence: each pour and each pairing serving the same overall standard.
Recognition
