If you’ve ever swirled a glass of Bordeaux and thought, “I deserve a red-carpet moment for this,” here’s your chance, y’all. The Golden Vines, renowned globally as the “Oscars of the Fine Wine World,” is making its U.S. debut this November in Miami. For three glittering days (November 7–9), the event will uncork the most exclusive vino celebration on the planet.
And, yes, tickets start at $15,000.
The ultra-luxury affair brings together the crème de la crème of winemakers, maisons and Michelin-starred chefs for a whirlwind of masterclasses, yacht lunches and black-tie galas. Imagine sipping Dom Pérignon Plénitude 3 alongside Harlan Estate and Château Lafite Rothschild, then sitting down for a multi-course dinner from chefs Kyle Connaughton of SingleThread fame and Ryan Ratino of Jônt. Highlights include a Dom Pérignon global premiere, a South American All-Stars tasting and a Burgundy session featuring names that make sommeliers swoon.
Venues will perhaps sparkle as much as the champagne - from the historic Alfred I. DuPont Building downtown to the ever-iconic Faena Forum on Miami Beach. Between events, guests can hop on private jets to the Bahamas, join a caviar-and-champagne lunch hosted by Aaron Paul or lunch among supercars while sipping Château Latour. It’s decadent, delirious and dedicated to doing good. Proceeds from a Sotheby’s-led auction benefit the Gérard Basset Foundation, which promotes diversity across the wine world.
Bottom line: this isn’t just a wine weekend, but a liquid luxury pilgrimage. It’s one worth crossing county lines for, so long as you have the dough to pair with the sips.
