Wine country is Florida and south florida is best for us. Why not extend your cruise out of Miami with a mini-vacation to the wine bars before or after setting sail? Miami is good for wine bars and Cuban Food! Trust me it is nice. We like to stay at the Avalon Hotel, just five miles from the Port of Miami, offers a breathtaking setting in the heart of South Beach. Wine bars are plenty, just put on the fancy flip flops and walk the strip! Not taking a cruise this fall? Stay in the heart of South Beach at the Avalon Hotel and enjoy all the excitement that is South Beach.
