Grab the vino, because Florida Wine Academy, a wine and education business, has officially opened its doors in downtown Miami (2 Biscayne Blvd.).

Designed for both wine amateurs as well as hospitality professionals, the school concentrates on all things wine, from taste to business. Explore topics like which wines to buy and where to buy them, as well as consulting and onsite training services for food and beverage professionals, such as wine list design and staff training.

“Miami has experienced a growth in terms of world-class restaurants, five-stars hotels, as well as wine bars and restaurants,” director Alessandra Esteves says. “People working in these venues will need training. It’s also aimed at consumers who want to learn more about wine and know histories, grapes, and qualities behind a wine label.”
