Jungle Island

Discover some of the world's finest wines at Vinous Icons: Miami 2025, a two-day tasting event presided over by the experts at Antoni Galloni's leading wine review site, Vinous. Returning for a second year, Vinous brings 100 prestigious wine producers to the Bloom Ballroom at Jungle Island, where guests will sample exceptional pours from Champagne, Bordeaux, Tuscany, Napa and beyond while meeting the visionary winemakers behind each bottle. Each estate will pour two wines, with selections rotating between the Friday and Saturday sessions so you can compare vintages, terroirs and styles. Budding somms can also pop into a variety of masterclasses focusing on standout vintages and regions, from 2021 Barolos and 2022 Napa Valley Cabernets to explorations of South American terroir and New World Chardonnay.

In tandem with the holiday season, Jungle Island's enchanting festival of lights returns for a fourth year with a new production featuring more than 37 monumental, handcrafted silk lantern scenes created by a global team of artisans, graphic designers, seamstresses and more.
