A toast to timeless taste, rare vintages, and culinary excellence.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach is not just a destination; it embodies a legacy of indulgence. Beyond its luxurious exterior and history lies a wine collection that stands among the finest globally. Central to this program is a master wine vault that spans two stories, located within Prime 54, the hotel’s modern steakhouse.
This extensive collection boasts more than 1,400 labels, each selection narrating a story of the art of winemaking. Highlighted wines include prestigious names like Château Margaux, Château Lafite Rothschild, and Domaine De La Romanée-Conti. Its oldest bottles, from the 1960s, speak of years of diligent curating. Dine at Fontainebleau’s signature venues—Hakkasan, Prime 54, and Mirabella—and discover unique offerings from award-winning wine lists. These establishments collectively earned the 2025 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, further asserting Fontainebleau’s status as a top wine destination in Miami.
