“A perfect late summer afternoon at 61 Vineyards! We visited as a party of five, including our 1-year-old, and had a fantastic time. The wines were absolutely delicious, and the scenic views made the experience even better. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming—truly top-notch hospitality.”

“61 Vineyard is such a cool little spot! The setting is beautiful with open fields and vineyard views, and the sunsets here are incredible. They usually have live or fun music on the weekends which makes it an even better vibe. It’s the perfect place to just relax with a glass of wine, hang out with friends, and take in the scenery. Definitely one of those chill, hidden gems that you’ll want to keep coming back to.”

"61 Vineyard has been thriving since day one—always improving, listening, and creating an amazing experience. My husband and I got married here, and as our anniversary approaches, we’re reminded just how special this place is. The staff is always welcoming, the wine is exceptional, and the atmosphere feels like home. Pam and Mark have truly built something to be proud of in the heart of Damascus."

Lena

"Celebrated my 30th birthday and they couldn’t be more accommodating. It’s the perfect combination of homey and class. The wines are also very tasty and they offer a generous wine club."

Valerio

"Great outdoor space, beautiful views, very relaxing. The winery has finger food in addition to wines. Very enjoyable."

Kia

"We followed the reviews and found our way to this quaint vineyard. When we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. The staff were great, knowledgeable about the menu and history of the vineyard. We decided to go with the flight because we were in the mood for something a little on the sweet side. They nailed it with the Spritzer. Just try it and thank me later. We'll definitely be visiting again. I hope you do the same."

Laura

"I’m so happy to have this vineyard in Montgomery County! I went there yesterday for the first time. The wine was fantastic and it is so dog and child friendly and there are lots of places to sit. Very enjoyable afternoon."

Amanda

"Such a cute family-owned vineyard. You'll see the Owners walking around making sure guests feel welcomed. Wines are on the dry side fyi. Everything is grown or sourced locally. We did their wine tasting which consisted of 5 samples as well as a charcuterie board (delicious spread btw). Indoor seating, covered outdoor seating, as well as picnic tables on the grass."

Sridevi

"Totally loved this vineyard and the beautiful views of the mountains. We went in the evening and was able to catch the sunset that was beautiful. Our hostess was super nice and walked us through all the wines and their process, which we very much enjoyed. The wine was delicious and we were surprised to have such quality wines for such a young vineyard. We especially loved their sparkling wine from 2024. It was beautifully balanced; I would highly recommend it if you love some bubbly. They also have some good whites & reds."
