One of the largest restaurants at North Hills opens next month.
Ahead of its expected December debut, Sixty Vines invited The News & Observer inside to get a first look at the 13,000-square-foot space.
This will be Sixty Vines’ second North Carolina location, joining a restaurant in Charlotte.
The restaurant is known for its expansive wine program, pouring wines from across the world stored in metal kegs, not bottles, which Sixty Vines says is more sustainable for the environment.
Sixty Vines expects that it will save 300,000 glass bottles from ending up in a landfill during its first year in business at North Hills, bar manager Matt McErlean said. The kegs also prevent oxidation and sun damage.
“Last sip out of one of these kegs is going to taste just as fresh as the first sip out of one of these kegs,” McErlean said.
Globally-inspired food at Sixty Vines
Its food menu is designed to pair with the wine and is inspired by wine-producing areas from across the world. Pastas and pizzas are available ($14-$20), along with sandwiches ($14-$17) and entrees centered around steak, chicken and pork (starting at $20-$30).
Rose Paz, executive chef of Sixty Vines’ Raleigh location, said the creste di gallo pasta is a must-try, made with roasted chicken, mushrooms, spinach, oven-dried tomato and pesto cream.
“Our menu is globally inspired from different wine countries around the world,” Foster said. “We believe in shareable experiences.”
That extends not only to customizable wine flights and charcuterie boards ($6-$30), but also to the varied seating options Sixty Vines offers, with tables that can accommodate groups of many sizes and private rooms for parties or other events.
“It’s not just about serving food, serving drinks,” general manager Casey Foster said at a preview event. “I read something — it’s about serving memories — and it really resonated with me. And we believe in that.”
