A 13,000-square-foot restaurant that promises to transport diners to wine country will open soon in Raleigh.
The restaurant, Sixty Vines, offers 60 wines on tap from vineyards around the world and serves chef-inspired dishes made for sharing. It’s not tapas or small plates, which are often found on wine bar menus, but entrees such as steak, pasta and pizza, Sixty Vines CEO Jeff Carcara told The News & Observer.
“We actually struggle sometimes with maybe being too wine forward, in a manner that, you know, some people have a perception of what a wine bar is,” Carcara said. “And while we definitely are a wine bar in essence, we are a full-scale restaurant as well.”
Scheduled to open in December at North Hills, the two-story restaurant will feature a rooftop lounge and bar — a first for the brand — in addition to an airy dining room and an interior bar.
Founded in 2016 in Plano, Texas, the restaurant has locations across Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. This will be the brand’s second location in North Carolina, joining the Charlotte restaurant.
Wine menu at Raleigh’s Sixty Vines
Sixty Vines’ food and drink menus are consistent across locations, but the chain offers wines that are harder to find elsewhere.
Diners may find a white blend called Beautiful Stranger from Cadre Wines in San Luis Obispo, California, a cabernet sauvignon from J. Bookwalter Winery in Washington state or a red blend from Wagner Family of Wine in California. Wines change often, Carcara said, though there are a few options that remain constant.
Wines are poured from metal kegs, rather than bottles, which Carcara said is more sustainable because it decreases the number of bottles made, saving energy, and reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
But using kegs — each one holding 26 bottles of wine — isn’t the only way Sixty Vines practices sustainability. All of its restaurants compost.
“We’re looking for ways in construction and just how we operate every day to find ways to better protect our Mother Earth,” Carcara said.
Food options at Sixty Vines
The plates at Sixty Vines are inspired by the places where wine is produced. Albondigas, Spanish meatballs, are meant for sharing. Pizzas topped with roasted garlic puree and mixed mushrooms; spicy house-made sausage; fig and prosciutto; and the classic San Marzano tomatoes, cheese and basil nod to Italy.
Pastas, salads, proteins including pork chops and Atlantic salmon, sandwiches and burgers round out the entrees.
Carcara’s go-to orders are the beet and herbed goat cheese salad with chicken or the BLT sandwich, which he orders on gluten-free bread, for lunch. And for dinner, the New York strip steak, flavored with cracked pepper, pickled cherries, charred radicchio and blue cheese.
Pastas and pizzas range from $14-$20, and burgers and sandwiches are $14-$17. Fish, chicken and pork entrees are in the $20-$30 range, and steaks are upwards of $30.
Desserts, priced at $8, include olive oil citrus cake, sticky toffee cake, Basque cheesecake and deviled affogato, made with devil’s food cake, vanilla ice cream, coffee caramel and a shot of nitro cold brew.
Sixty Vines will also serve weekend brunch, offering classics such as French toast and eggs Benedict ($15).
Raleigh Sixty Vines location
Across its first-floor patio and interior dining room, lounge and bar, and its rooftop dining area, bar and lounge, Raleigh’s Sixty Vines will be able to seat more than 400 guests.
The restaurant will be in the Main District near True Food Kitchen and RH Raleigh - The Gallery at North Hills, which also features a rooftop restaurant.
“North Hills in particular is a very well-curated, you know, live-work-play type development that I think just suits what Sixty Vines is all about,” Carcara said.
