It's well known that summers in Miami can be slow, sticky, and hot. As locals, we need something to keep us motivated through our long tropical days between dodging rain showers and sweating through our clothes.
The good news is that we have the city a bit more to ourselves when school gets out and the tourists seek refuge in cooler climates. For food and wine lovers, this can be a great time to explore all the spots around town that have been harder to access in the high season.

For those of us who love wine, there’s something special about exploring the places where it’s made. We’ve dreamed about the rolling hills of Tuscany, strolled through the rural vineyards of Provence, and sipped world-class wines in Burgundy and Piedmont.

When wine lovers travel, their destination of choice is often a scenic vineyard, where they can sip their favorite wines while overlooking rolling hills of vines. But what if the ultimate wine experience wasn’t on land at all?
Imagine savoring an exceptional red while sailing past the glaciers of Alaska or toasting with a crisp rosé under the Caribbean sun. With Celebrity Cruises, oenophiles don’t have to choose between adventure and extraordinary wine.

As we approach the heart of the holiday season, it’s time to think about which wines we want to serve with all the family meals we will share with loved ones over the next couple of months.
Wine is often the glue that brings people together. It’s a pleasure to share and enjoy great bottles and food with special company. While it’s easy to get wrapped up in the stressors of everyday life, during this time of the year, we should all think about the parts of our experience for which we are thankful.

As we enter October, we should all be excited to experience peak fall weather. Though, as South Floridians know all too well, our region’s version of this beloved time of the year doesn’t quite offer the crisp air and colorful leaves that mark the season elsewhere. But that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace a cozier vibe while at home. Even as warm temperatures and hurricane season lingers, there’s something special about transitioning into autumn, and wine can play a key role in setting the tone.
