Wine Talks Miami @ Vinexpo America: Inside the Florida Wine Market
Wine Talks Miami, South Florida's Wine Trade Network, is going inside Vinexpo America on May 7th!
Florida is the fastest-growing state in the U.S. and the second-largest alcohol market, with a dynamic hospitality scene spanning luxury resorts, theme parks, cruise lines, and lively “clubstaurants.”
In this panel, we’ll hear from experts who are deeply embedded in the Florida wine scene. They will share key trends, insights, and strategies for success in this complex market—from Miami and beyond:
Melissa Hemmingway, Wine Director @ Bonita Bay Club (Naples, FL)
Andy McNamara MS, President @ ACE Wine & Spirits (Tampa, FL)
Higor Valle, Corporate Wine Director @ Mr Hospitality (Miami, FL)
The discussion will be moderated by Sarah Phillips, founder of Wine Talks Miami, South Florida’s wine trade network.
