“...Disney Springs is the perfect place to open a wine bar and share my passion with the world.” george miliotes
Guests ideal food and wine pairings and culinary explorations.”
“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.
Wine Bar George’s wine list will offer more than 100 varieties from around the world by the bottle and the glass. The venue will also have small plates, cheeses and charcuterie from local artisans as well as seasonal selections.
“As a native Floridian, it’s important to me to support local farms and businesses,” says Miliotes. “And with our seasonal menu, we’ll change our offerings as ingredients come into their prime. Every menu item will complement selections on our wine list, bringing
cuisine like artisanal pizzas and fresh vegetable dishes fired up in a wood-burning oven.
And early in 2018, we’ll be welcoming the estate-style Wine Bar George, with Master Sommelier (and native Floridian) George Miliotes bringing his expertise and an unparalleled wine list to Disney Springs®. Fans of California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort may remember George from the opening team of the award-winning restaurant when it debuted in 1995.
W ith amazing restaurants now open and others coming soon,
there’s even more to please your palate at Disney Springs®! We dig into just two of the fabulous new options.
