Montgomery County
Summer Vacay Weekend Getaway
Plan Your Weekend the MoCo Way
This summer, you don’t have to go far to make a big splash. Plan a weekend getaway in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Hike scenic trails along the Potomac River and soak in the views of Great Falls. Sail across the lake at Black Hill Regional Park or paddle around on whimsical duck or dragon at rio in Gaithersburg. Wander through the artwork at Glenstone Museum and relax at a farm brewery or winery. Swing by Topgolf Germantown for friendly competition or bring the whole family to explore stories of the Underground Railroad at the Josiah Henson Museum & Park. Treat yourself to deals at Clarksburg Premium Outlets and discover one-of-a-kind finds at a local boutique. Savor flavors from around the world at our diverse restaurants and cap off your evening with a rooftop cocktail in downtown Bethesda. Watch an outdoor performance at Olney Theatre. Step out of your comfort zone and climb through the trees at The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring. Take a summer vacay weekend getaway or staycation in Maryland’s Cultural Capital.

One of the world’s best winery restaurants isn’t in Napa or Tuscany… it’s right here in Montgomery County, Maryland. 🍷✨
Congratulations to our friends at @burnt_hill for being named one of the World’s Best Winery Restaurants by Wine Enthusiast, one of only 57 worldwide and 13 in the United States to earn the honor.
At the heart of the experience is the Chef’s Counter, an intimate 12-seat tasting experience inside the farm’s working kitchen. Guests are welcomed into the creative process as each multi-course meal reflects the rhythm of the seasons, the surrounding landscape, and the vision of Chef-Partner Tae Strain.
Swipe through for a taste of what makes this experience so special, then head to the link in bio to read the full story.
