Wine Bar George is the new venture of master sommelier George Miliotes, making it the only master sommelier-led wine bar in Florida. He will bring his years of expertise back to Disney, along with a selection of more than 100 wines from renowned wineries, as well as up-and-coming wineries.

Miliotes is widely considered one of the leading wine experts in the restaurant industry, and is one of only 230 worldwide industry professionals certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers. Back in 1995, Miliotes was part of the team at California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, he led the wine team until his departure in 2002.

“I’m excited to return to Walt Disney World Resort, and Disney Springs is the perfect place to open a wine bar and share my passion with the world,” Miliotes said. “Having the opportunity to train and hire my own team while sharing my 40-plus years of knowledge is truly incredible, and I look forward to opening our doors in the coming year.”

Wine Bar George will live in one of the few vacant spots, in an area of Disney Springs called The Landing, opposite Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar.

Alongside the 100 strong wine selection, the wine bar will also offer a food menu featuring small plates designed to complement the wines. Guests can also take part in wine education, as well as special events and winemaker visits.
