Miami will welcome The Golden Vines® 2025 — renowned as “The World’s Best Fine Wine Event” — this fall from November 7 to 9. The event will gather wine connoisseurs, philanthropists, and industry leaders for an exceptional weekend filled with curated tastings and celebrations.
With a ticket valued at $15,000, attendees will gain access to an exclusive experience where each detail is thoughtfully orchestrated. Guests will participate in private masterclasses featuring legendary wine estates, enjoy winemaker lunches at Miami’s most distinguished venues, and attend two gala dinners prepared by Michelin-starred chefs Kyle Connaughton and Ryan Ratino. The weekend’s atmosphere will be charged with live entertainment and a vibrant global guest list.
A Celebration of Exceptional Wines
During the event, guests will sample rare wines, including the debut of Dom Pérignon P2 2008, as well as prestigious offerings like Krug Grande Cuvée, Château d’Yquem, and Harlan Estate, all presented in extravagant formats. Each vintage carries a story, offering a unique glimpse into its rich history.

The celebration opens on Friday with masterclasses led by acclaimed producers, culminating in the Golden Vines Gala Dinner at the historic Alfred I. duPont Building. Saturday features intimate winemaker lunches throughout Miami and a black-tie Golden Vines Awards Gala at the Faena Forum, honoring outstanding wine and spirits producers alongside culinary creations from Michelin-starred establishments.
Philanthropic Impact
The event is anchored by a commitment to education and inclusivity within the wine and hospitality sectors. Proceeds from the festivities and the Golden Vines Online Auction—open for bidding from October 20 to midnight EST on November 9 at auction.liquidicons.com—will support the Gérard Basset Foundation, established to commemorate the late Gérard Basset. This year, part of the funds will also provide scholarships for students at FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality in Miami.
This initiative aims to nurture the next generation of leaders in fine wine and luxury service, intertwining indulgence with a mission to inspire progress.

Miami: A Fitting Venue
Miami has emerged as a prominent hub for luxury dining and fine wine, particularly since the Michelin Guide’s arrival in 2022. Its growth has been fueled by innovative chefs, niche wine importers, and an enthusiastic community of collectors. As co-founder Lewis Chester notes, Miami’s eclectic mix of culture, cuisine, and sophistication makes it an ideal host for The Golden Vines.
The city’s vibrant atmosphere serves as the backdrop for satellite events, including masterclasses, yacht lunches, and champagne receptions that mirror its art deco charm.
