We welcome large parties at Potomac Point Winery based on availability! To ensure every guest has an exceptional experience, parties of 11 or more people are considered a private event. Please fill out this form to request a private event packet.

​Bistro Experience Information:

If you are joining us for a bistro reservation, they will swipe a credit card to start a tab for your table upon arrival.  Please note, your final bill can be paid by the same card, a different card, split evenly with multiple cards, or paid by cash.  Due to bank requirements, we will need to a swipe a card again at check-out.

We highly recommend bistro reservations for guaranteed availability (especially on weekends).  We have a 15-minute grace period before offering your table to another guest. Please call us if you are running later than 15 minutes after your reservation time so that we do not give your table away.

Each reservation group of 1-5 guests will have 2 hours to enjoy; each group of 6+ guests will have 3 hours to enjoy.

There will be one tab per group, or tabs can be split evenly amongst guests.

A 20% auto-gratuity will be added to groups with 6 or more guests.

There is a $25 fee for any outside cakes; we recommend pre-ordering a delectable Wine Cake for celebrations!

Wine Cakes: wine cakes must be ordered a minimum of 3 days in advance and cannot be canceled within 72 hours of your reservation time.  You can pre-order your wine cake during the online reservation process.
