GAITHERSBURG, MD — The wine country restaurant Sixty Vines will open its first Maryland location Monday, Oct. 13, at 231 Rio Boulevard in Gaithersburg.
Guests can explore 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.
“There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when people gather around a table to connect over great food and wine,” said Jeff Carcara, CEO of Sixty Vines, in a news release. “Sixty Vines was created for discovery. Every visit is an opportunity to experience new flavors and wines in a way that feels approachable.”
General Manager Paul Fitz and Executive Chef William Sandkuhler lead Sixty Vines’ Maryland team, welcoming guests for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Spanning more than 9,000 square feet, the space includes an open dining room with communal tables and a bar. The private dining room seats 24 and can host celebrations and special occasions.
Sixty Vines’ wine-on-tap system reimagines wine culture, the company said. Each keg holds 26 bottles and can be reused roughly 1,500 times, reducing waste and ensuring every glass tastes exactly as the winemaker intended.
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 menu also features handcrafted cocktails like the Tequila Fix and Frozé, local beers, and a selection of 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.
The company has restaurants in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
