Miami Wine Tasting
Miami is an ideal place for a wine-tasting party. Whether you are strolling along South Beach or simply taking a dip in your backyard swimming pool, the relaxing atmosphere and laid back attitude of the populous is sure to help even the most uptight individuals to unwind. The flip side to the relaxing beach ambiance of Miami is the party scene. Let’s face it. Miami is most well know for its’ parties. Why not combine the relaxation with the party and host your own Miami wine-tasting party?
To host a successful Miami wine-tasting party, you must follow the first step in hosting general wine-tasting parties and send out your invitations two to three weeks prior to your event. Because of the location, your invitations can be personalized with pictures that combine wine with the beach atmosphere for a nice touch. Think bottles of wine nestled in a hammock between two palm trees or grapes, cheese, and wine glasses set on a platter in the sand overlooking the ocean. These subtle details are sure to entice your Miami wine-tasting party guests.
The invitations are sent out, now it’s time to think about décor. You can go many ways with your theme. A Miami wine-tasting party can be laid back and held by your swimming pool or within your air conditioned home. If you decide to go the route of holding the party by your swimming pool, consider having it in the evening just as the sun is setting with floating candles scattered throughout your swimming pool. This is sure to impress your Miami wine-tasting party guests. Because of the tropical climate that Miami is known for, light colors will suit this party best. Whether you are holding your wine-tasting party indoors or by the pool, white or champagne colored table linens will be ideal. Now it’s time to be creative. Head to the beach a few days before your party and collect seashells. Clean them thoroughly as they will be near the food that you serve and lay them out among the wine bottles and food platters. Wine glasses half full with sand and accented by light colored candles will also provide a nice touch for your Miami wine-tasting party.
