The ambiance is bar none. At every turn I kept imagining a reason to book the space or bring someone. Cozy, simple and sumptuous. We tried many wines, including: -the Crossvines Cabernet Franc-raisin and almost Nebbiolo overtones; -the Crossvines Barn Door red blend-balanced and warm with a hint of spice yet low tannin; -the Fairway rosé, which was light with great flavor and perfect with spring foods; -and the Riesling and then house ciders, with cherry and peach popular with different people. We settled on a bottle of the White Blend, the "Front Porch". It was not groundbreaking yet likable worked as a clean canvas that went with a lot of foods, not oaky, tangy, sweet, or dry. I enjoyed the butternut squash soup. I watched my friend enjoying the Farmer's Market salad and wondered if I should have gotten that instead! My friend enjoyed her burger and fries. The burger was pretty big and looked satisfying. My friend said the crab dip was really good, too. The best part for me was trying their wines while engaging with our server and the general manager. We talked about some of the events like wine tasting and menu changes and line dancing. We saw more of the gorgeous venue and bookable space for 300 indoors. It was relaxing and enjoyable and while I couldn't eat many items due to a wheat allergy, I definitely wanted to return soon and enjoy the backdrop and support a local winery. read more

Came here with our baby and dog post partum and it was the perfect place to wine down and take in the fresh air. It was quiet because we came on a weekday at around 3. The service was great, everyone was very welcoming. The food was surprisingly good as well. Really enjoyed the crab dip and the pita bread was deliciously buttery, it came out hot! We relaxed and watched/judged people playing golf, it was perfect. read more

If you're golfing at the Crossvines golf course, I highly recommend stopping at this restaurant for lunch. They have a great indoor outdoor space with one of the best ambiance for a restaurant at the golf course. Nice wine selection and beer selection as well. They have a special burger and beer combo for golfers. Let the waiter know that you want that combo. It's just $18 for a nice burger, beer and crispy fries. Everything tasted very delicious. The burger was nice and juicy. read more

Great location, great atmosphere, delicious food, well-made cocktails, and friendly staff all add up to a 5 star experience in Poolesville. The duck was cooked to perfection, the crispy cauliflower was better than I could have ever expected, and the salmon was perfect. Pricing was good for what they deliver. All in all, you will not be disappointed here! read more

From a neglected MCG muni to their flagship course. I grew up playing Poolesville Golf Course back in the day. Back when Hootie and the blowfish filmed "Always want to be with you" on site. They had a hot dog and drink with a round of golf for 15$. A few years after Covid. The county invested a bunch of money into building the Farmhouse bistro next door as well as rebranding the golf course. This has helped to bring more golfers to Poolesville. The general manager used to work at Poolesville Golf course. He transferred to a different MCG course and is back. The pro shop and golf staff are all very friendly. The superintendent has done a fantastic job the past two years keeping the course in great shape. The new cart paths are also great plus. Practice facilities include grass tee boxes on the weekend and a large short game/ putting area. Japanese Ice/water machine for hot days. I will drive an extra 15+ minutes to avoid crowds at other munis when my club is having events. Easy 5/5 stars! read more

Owned by Montgomery County golf, this is such a great place! This is a new restaurant and wedding venue. If the weather was nicer there are 2 patios to sit outside with a fire pit, chairs and tables. Service was wonderful and very attentive. We had 2 kids with us and having a kids menu was clutch! We had different salads and all were a great size and tasted good! Will come back for sure! read more

I was invited to this winery by friends and I've never been known to turn down an invitation that includes wine and food so I was there. I had fairly high expectations given what I've seen on TikTok and IG Reels but must say that they unfortunately weren't met :( So here's the GOOD & NOT SO GOOD: GOOD - The grounds are beautiful - The ambience of the bistro is cozy and comfortable - The GM ensures he visits each and every table - The cocktails - The crab cakes NOT SO GOOD - Overall Service: our server was slow and it wasn't busy at all), our server seemed disinterested in us every way from overall interactions, never checking on us, never clearing glasses and plates and never offering us refills on anything from water to wine to cocktails - Even though the GM checked on every table and had a great personality he did not direct anyone to bus our tables or refill our glasses - The food (& it pains me to say this bc the menu sounded great): Wings were tasteless and had zero salt, caesar salads were wilted, the shrimp on my salad were truly popcorn shrimp size and pre-frozen Walmart type shrimp and we even had dessert with the hopes that perhaps that's where the magic and flavor was hidden and SIGH, NOPE! The cookies were inconsistent from the perspective of one being really flat and another being about 2 inches taller than the flat one (which means they were from 2 different batches of dough and the ingredients weren't consistent) and the flavors just not playing well together for example - The Wine: they only offered two flights and only one of which was their wine (which was meh) We're always down to try new places and we know in doing so it's a gamble and in this case "the house took our money" and we won't be back for another visit. read more

The food and services are worst than any restaurants. Reservations were at 6:30 pm and the food didn't serve until 8:15 pm. We had to voice our concerns multiple times. Caesar salad was awful and pricey for $22. The chicken tastes like a steamed chicken instead of grilled chicken. read more

I believe the restaurant portion of The Crossvines recently just opened. We impromptly came here pretty late on a weekday evening so we were told they were no longer accepting reservations. We ended up ordering at the bar and taking our own food outside to sit at their tables facing the golf course. We both ordered the flight (1 white, 1 rose, 1 red) for $20. We really enjoyed the CV Front Porch white wine. For food, we ordered the aged brisket burger ($21) and crossvines cheese & charcuterie ($28). Both were delicious and worth the price we paid. The charcuterie board had various meats and local cheeses, honeycomb, nuts, beets, and jam. We really liked the atmosphere and vibe. It was quiet and there were tables or sofas you could choose from to sit at outside. There is plenty of parking right out front. We also thought it was nice that right when you walk in they have a table with local items (coffee, honey, soap). read more

Celebrated my sisters birthday here and we had such a great time. They accommodated a family of 8 easily. Everyone enjoyed the food. The burger was surprisingly the best thing on the menu. Lexi was great-very attentive and such a pleasure read more

Gorgeous venue! I really love how beautiful this place is. Just for that alone, I would come back. Everyone working there seemed very helpful & friendly. I loved the mocktail they had - it was apple cider, club soda & some star anise/cinnamon. For lunch I ordered the short rib and it was delicious. The whole plate went together really well. The only issue was everything was just a bit too greasy & that definitely took away from it. - 1 star because: ~ there was way too much olive oil on my plate (you can see it pooling around the potatoes ~ there was a soggy/greasy sprout on my plate that was bright green and not fried at all ~ the potato mash was puréed but had one large potato chunk in it These are minor things, but this place is aiming for upscale (with upscale prices) so these minor things shouldn't really happen. Overall, it's a very cool spot & I'm excited to come back. read more

I have visited The Crossvines twice now and plan to go back again soon. Both visits have been on Sundays. One was for brunch and the other was for wine tasting and tour. I enjoyed each visit. What I like about this place is that you can golf, drink and learn about wine, order food (pretty good food at that) and also order cocktails which is rare for a winery that you can order cocktails. The crossvines is multifaceted and I love that. It has beautiful grounds and a decent amount of seating inside and outside. The guy that gave us the wine tour on Father's Day was fantastic! Such a great job. read more

What an amazing place! We were there for a wedding reception and I have to say they did a great job! The food was really very good and the service staff was great as well. We walked around the bar and other areas and it all is very nice. I have to say their wine was quite good as well! read more

Service was not very good. I took my sister, who was in town from AL visiting. I was excited for her to have a nice dinner in the beautiful country at what I was hoping was a 5 star restaurant. Sadly it was not a good experience. My sister was extremely disappointed and I was very sad that I couldn't make the dinner experience what I had wanted for her. The appetizer we received was very good but the tableware was not set up and the server had to get the utensils. It was only the beginning of an evening that became a very long and unacceptable meal. I say meal very carefully because our server never came back to get our dinner requests. We eventually got up and found someone to prepare a bill for the appetizer and flight my sister had ordered. Even that was a bit too much. Sadly the service at every level was nothing short of incompetence. I cannot recommend this establishment. read more

For my birthday, I went to Crossvines for lunch, and it was a beautiful winery. While it was rainy and gloomy that day, you could tell it would be lovely on a warm day. The food and drinks were pretty good, and so was the service. I enjoyed my waiter - he was very attentive and kind, and overall, it was a great day. The dessert the chef gave me for my birthday, some berry cheesecake, was perfection. I just took off one star for the chicken, while good, it could've used a sprinkle of more seasoning, but I really liked the batter on it however. read more

Kept hearing from multiple colleagues that I needed to check out The Crossvines. Not sure it was exactly for the food but the setting and ambiance were definitely beautiful. Went for a work lunch and it is beautiful. My colleagues said they enjoyed their food... my fish and chips was interesting. A bit under seasoned and honestly, I thought they were frozen fish sticks. They were very meaty to my surprise but not impressive. My fries were tossed in maybe a honey drizzle which was a different touch... they were sticky and the texture was weird because the honey got cool I guess after they had been tossed. The food needs a little help... my colleagues enjoyed their food and I enjoyed mine but I'm not sure it was worth what I paid or if I would order it again. Barn House Red was #1 in the flight. Wine is better to me at Windridge but glad to support MoCo Wines. Beautiful venue for an event - great views, open, airy, two dining rooms and a nice bar area. read more

Really wanted to like this place. Even though our first visit wasn't great, we gave The Crossvines another shot. Food 1/5. Cheap ingredients, lacks flavor, not fresh. Salmon was gross. Deviled Eggs were meh. Service 4/5. Staff seemed very nice. Ambiance 1/5. Boring cheap decor. Just really stale. I got to give it to the Montgomery County here. No other county government has the audacity to open up a brewery, winery and restaurant with taxpayer money. read more

This place is pretty great! This was my first visit and we had a large group. We made reservations and they worked out just fine. The peach drink was listed on the menu but not available. They created it with apples instead and it was not good. It tasted as if the recipe was either wrong or not properly mixed. It was unbearable. I had a sangria afterwards which was great. Everybody loved the sangrias! Our food orders were inaccurate for the most part, which was frustrating. They fixed the items and brought whichever things they forgot. The wine is available to order but not for tastings or tours. I had the crab cake sandwich with fries and loved it! The checks were all incorrect and we had to wait for them to reprint and fix them. It threw off our schedule again on top of the food orders being inaccurate. This was frustrating. read more

We didnt know the Crossvines was owned by Montgomery County. It had a contemporary design which was appealing and overlooked the re-named golf course. There was a huge wedding venue. The very Italian manager came from restaurant association to train the staff. The service was sporadic and slow. We were glad we didnt order the lobster we saw the serving for the next table it was barely the size of my finger kind of claw. I was shocked because it was a costly dish, normally it would be filled with lobsters. The pasta and chicken for my son was decent. My chicken sandwich was ok. The dessert looked like costco grade you know what I mean for $8-9. The review about it being one of the top new places....ermm was not accurate. Hopefully things will improve. read more

Made an impromptu visit here. Heard a new winery opened up. Decided to check it out. Pulling up it didn't quite give winery vibes. Looked like a golf course and a restaurant. Well, it is indeed those things and a winery. Plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Wasn't much of a wait for a table around lunch time on a Sunday. They don't have a huge food menu but it's decent. I was hungry and got the brisket burger with fries ($3 upcharge), otherwise you get chips. It includes a bacon onion jam, and I told our server hold that on my order. I got the burger and it was on there. I told him right away and he had the chef make a new order. They even offered a glass of the red wine that I liked - red barn door and an order of wings (for my friend). They were very apologetic and provided great customer service. Chris was very friendly! I may possibly come back but can't say I'm in a huge hurry! read more

The newest dining and event venue in the Poolesville area of MoCo. We were there on a Friday evening in the fall. Lovely grounds with a golf course, a small vineyard. Superbly designed indoor and patio space. Large windows allow maximum views. A great venue for weddings or other special occasions. Food was a bit of a mix. The burger and the pork ribeye were good. The steak frites and roast chicken were under seasoned. A lot of attention paid to food presentations - color, plating, etc. I would come back for a tranquil, unhurried and comfortable setting but the kitchen may not have reached gourmet standards yet. read more

Crossvines is a relatively new winery in Poolesville. My friends and I went during their opening week, so we did have to wait quite a while for our food and drinks. Their drink options have something for everyone. I found their menu a little limited, but opted for their brisket burger. My friends has the chicken sandwich and fish&chips. Both my burger and the chicken sandwich were huge--I could have made it into 2 lunches. I can see this place being great for golf lovers and retired couples...the atmosphere is very peaceful and slow. read more

Has drinks i. the bar after a great round of golf! Very friendly service! a fantastic and fun end to a great day!

I'm giving one star for the two dishes we did enjoy. My friends and I went to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees. We didn't enjoy the food. The deviled eggs ($16) were rubbery. I think they sat in the fridge for a few days. The Little Gem salad was ok. Can't really go wrong with a salad but it cost $24 with the salmon. The salmon was cooked well. The pasta was bland and we could only taste the olive oil and chili flakes. The chicken was really dry. We enjoyed the charcuterie board and the chicken wings. We also ordered the burger and it was overcooked so it was very dry. The fries that came with the burger were not crispy. We decided to order a bottle of their red wine, Barn Door Red Blend ($56). For the price, it was not good. My husband and friend said it tasted like water. After that we decided not to order another Crossvines wine. We picked a 2nd bottle but they were out so we had to pick another one. When we were dining, there were so many insects (flies, stink bugs and bees) flying around. I noticed it bothering other patrons also. I saw a man get up to open the door to throw an insect out. It was not a pleasant experience! read more

I visited The Crossvines today and was impressed by this beautiful winery in Montgomery County. I believe it's on a golf course and the views are absolutely stunning. We had a reservation for 3 pm but unfortunately we were very late, so we had to sit at the bar (our reservation was canceled due to lateness which is understandable). We tried to find a number to call, but could not find one anywhere, unfortunately. The winery has a period of time from 3 pm to 5 pm where the kitchen closes and there is a limited menu only available at the bar. Personally, I think that they should also give the option for sitting at tables if there is availability and for guests to still order from the limited menu for the 3 pm to 5 pm period. I also think if the kitchen is closed from 3 pm to 5 pm, they should take the last reservation for maybe 2:30 pm. Two staff members recommended the brisket burger to us and it was juicy and flavorful. I was very impressed. We tried their flight at the bar and thought it was okay. Many people aren't fans of Maryland wines and I understand but I am on the hunt for one I will enjoy so much I'II purchase a bottle. Our bartender let us know we could take drinks outside but could not eat outside. After we took our drinks outside, a very nice person, Luis, chatted with us about the winery and a lot about MoCo and Leesburg. Literally was the nicest person. Luis brought us ice cream and some other treats just because! Luis made our visit special by just taking the time to talk to us and giving us a little treat. And since there's a bar, a beautiful ambiance, and good food, I'll be back! They have some small kinks to workout, but that is to be expected since they have only been open a couple weeks. read more

Went to this winery on opening day. I really enjoyed the food & cocktails. All of the staff were really nice & efficient. I gave 4 starts because it didn't really feel like a winery; it felt more like just a restaurant. There wasn't that much scenery inside or outside; kind of plain. read more

This is the 2nd time I've been to crossvines and it's a wonderful experience. The venue itself and the ambience are both superb. Their menu changes with each season so there are always new things to try. Last October we got the Bistro Burger and the Pretzel Crusted Calamari and we ate on their patio next to the huge gas firepit. The food/service/atmosphere was fantastic. Yesterday we went back for lunch and got the Steak Frites and the Crabcakes. The food was delicious, and it was so nice and quiet during the week I cannot wait to go back. The staff are all very warm and welcoming and yesterday I met the GM Tim. It's been open for a year now and it's still such an impeccable experience! read more

Great Wedding Venue. Fantastic Chef and food. Golf course vista with lush green and a beautiful water fountain at the pond.

Sunday perfection! I finally went to the crossvines which has been on my list for a while now. My sister and I drove through beautiful Montgomery county to get there which was really enjoyable. Upon arrival you drive through the vineyards and park in the parking lot that has lots of parking. The building entrance was stunning and overlooks the golf course. The staff were extremely friendly which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a lunch reservation and were seated very quickly. The dining room was very elegant as well as the bar which was also cozy and stunning. The dining room is intimate and overlooks the golf course and fire pit. We tried the crossvines flight which had a white, rose and red for $20 dollars. All of them were really delicious but I specifically loved the red ! We then orders the little gem salad and the wings. The wings were so so good and cooked to perfection. My sister order the crab cake sandwich and I the burger. Wow!! Both were so delicious and flavorful! The bun on both were perfection. We finished up with the sangria which was festive for the season which apple forward notes. Lastly for dessert we had the chocolate cake which was smaller than expected and the gelato which came from a local creamery which was delicious. Overall this places is not only beautiful but has a lot to offer. The Crossvines also has an amazing banquet hall where they can hold weddings, parties or corporate events. My sister and I noticed they also host some specialty classes such as wreath making and more. You can also do a wine tasting which I would love to try next time. I would recommend going here with friends, for Mother's Day/ Father's Day, or just because. PS they will be doing Sunday Brunch starting soon. read more

Overall our experience at crossvines was great. Food was excellent, staff was friendly and overall great, and it's a beautiful place. The wines were 'Maryland good' - pleasant and drinkable and show continuing maturation of winemaking in the region (Cab Frank is the regional standout imho) - great to support. The local ciders (especially peach and cherry) were excellent. We did flights. Only negative - drinks came out very slowly and not at the same time - a couple of kinks still to work out there. Come with a bit of patience and you'll really enjoy. read more

Very disappointed. Even emailed them directly to provide feedback about our experience and never received a reply. In short - Hostess was not very welcoming, service was slow, entrees came out before appetizers. Food was so-so. We were told that there were no additional desserts of what we wanted even though we saw it at another table (after we were told that). Wines didn't taste very unique. One star for location. One star for concept. Minus three stars for lack of service, food, and follow up. read more

The food was mediocre. The calamari lacked taste and my burger was just ok. They have plenty of outdoor seating but they're not welcoming to dogs unlike other wineries. Our server was fantastic and the building looked clean and had a modern farmhouse aesthetic that is popular nowadays. My main complaint was the ambience felt a little stuck up and not as friendly as I would expect. The hostesses acted like it was an inconvenience to seat us. The clientele were wannabes too. Lacoste isn't a high end polo shirt that you think it is. Overall, I wouldn't come back. There are plenty of other places in the region that are friendlier and ultimately better food. read more

Crossvines is a wonderful setting for events and parties. We had Mother's Day brunch on 5/12. The food was outstanding. Prime rib station, omelet station and long buffet were all very good ! Service was a big detraction from the rest of the experience. Used plates sat while staff wandered around aimlessly. No one told them, "Keep moving and Never leave the floor empty-handed." The server did not check on drink refills until too late. Staff were huddled in conversations on the floor while guests were looking for attention. This poor treatment cost 20% automatic gratuity on top of the $50 price per person. When did automatic gratuities become part of the bill for small parties? All in all, it was overpriced and not worthwhile. read more

This new venue opened today. I booked us lunch reservations in the bistro and a winery tour and tasting later in the afternoon. The service was slow as it was their first day. Food was decent and drinks were delicious. On my lobster roll, the fried clams were cold and one was bad. I reported it to our server but nothing was done. The crab cake sandwich was hard to eat since it was stuffed with a lot of corn and potatoes which was an interesting combo. The duck fat fries cheese was melted on the bottom of the plate which I didn't notice it even had cheese until after I was almost done eating it and also I never got the sauce it was supposed to come with. Our drinks took significant time to get delivered at the table. After lunch, we wanted to grab a drink and sit outside but it took forever and my order was made wrong twice. After over 30 minutes, I finally got my cocktail but my friend was done with hers and luckily the nice gentleman who made mine comped them. But the other bartender seemed to be all over the place even with the menu cocktails and drinks for the tables. We sat outside and it was nice to see the hosts and servers still be very friendly and attentive even at lunch inside. We did the afternoon winery tour and tasting which was excellent. The stories and the winery's purpose is amazing, I can't wait to volunteer sometime in the fall to help sort the red grapes for production. All the wine samples were great and the team was easy to talk to as they answered all my questions and more! I'll definitely be back and hopefully they will offer brunch in the future or even happy hour with some live music. read more

This was our first trip to Crossvines but it won't be our last. First, you're struck by the beautiful setting: pastoral Poolesville in the MoCo Agricultural Reserve provides lots of calming energy. The service was good and the waitress provided recommendations on the menu. We chose the scallops and the wagyu Reuben - a nice twist. The herb fries were great and the scallops fresh and well-prepared. We also chose a wine flight - a deal at $20 for three glasses of excellent Loudon wines (two whites and a red). Can't wait until Crossvines itself is producing. I'd highly recommend for a nice dinner, brunch or really any occasion. read more

I played the golf course for the first time in September and was impressed with all of the new construction and vineyards. I brought my family up to hit a bucket of balls at the range before sunset and then have dinner at the bistro. We had pasta w chicken, pasta with salmon, pork loin and the burger. All the food was good with just a few minor things missing the mark taste-wise. The wine flight was delightful, so much fun trying some local wines that were quite good. The layout is really well done and the service was friendly and professional. We had a great evening out. I'm looking forward to going back soon with my wife and kids. read more
