| OVERVIEW: |
South Florida's premier private wine society, The Cellar Club
at The Biltmore is dedicated to the appreciation of fine wine
and food. To that end, its more than 1,300 members are presented
with exclusive monthly epicurean events and are accorded special
privileges throughout The Biltmore. Launched in February 1995
as a club for very focused oenophiles interested in the studious
pursuit of greater wine knowledge, it has evolved into a more
socially-oriented organization devoted to the exploration and
enjoyment of the world’s viniculture and food ways. As
such, The Cellar Club has helped maintain The Biltmore’s
historic role as an epicenter of local social life and has become
an important attraction for hotel guests who chose to upgrade
and enjoy certain privileges during their stay. |
