The sustainable wine country-inspired restaurant Sixty Vines is set to open this fall in Gaithersburg, its first Maryland location.
GAITHERSBURG, MD — Sixty Vines, the wine country restaurant, will make its Maryland debut this fall at 231 Rio Boulevard in Gaithersburg. A specific opening date for the business has not been announced.
Guests can discover 60 wines on tap from wine regions around the world, paired with chef-driven dishes like wood-grilled steaks and hand-crafted pizzas designed to share among friends.
The restaurant will span just over 9,000 square feet with a light-filled dining room, a bar that opens to the patio, and private dining spaces for more intimate gatherings, according to a news release. Seating includes a mix of banquettes, communal tables, and lounge areas.
“We’re excited to bring Sixty Vines to Gaithersburg, a city that embraces great food and new experiences,” said Jeff Carcara, CEO of Sixty Vines, in a news release. “Our menu is meant to be shared, with dishes that make it easy to discover new flavors and connect around the table. Sixty Vines is all about creating an experience that’s as much about the people you’re with as the food you enjoy together.”
The restaurant menu celebrates seasonal flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can build their own charcuterie boards, enjoy crisp salads and hand-tossed pizzas, or choose from entrées like Atlantic salmon, pan roasted chicken, the double cabernet burger, and wood-grilled filet.
Dessert standouts include Basque cheesecake and deviled affogato.
The team is available to suggest a wine that complements each dish.
Sixty Vines’ wine on tap system offers a sustainable approach to serving wine, the business said. Each keg holds 26 bottles that are reusable around 1,500 times. This system reduces waste and offers guests the closest "from the barrel" tasting experience outside a vineyard, the business said.
By partnering with many of the world’s top winemakers, Sixty Vines offers exclusive wines not commonly available by the glass.
It also offers handcrafted cocktails with choices ranging from a spirit-forward Tequila Fix to a light and refreshing Frozè, plus beers, mocktails, and non-alcoholic wines.
Sixty Vines will offer brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 3 p.m., along with lunch and dinner throughout the week.
General Manager Paul Fitz and Executive Chef William Sandkuhler will lead the restaurant.
This will be Sixty Vines' first Maryland location, expanding its presence from Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
