27 Best Wine Bars in Miami to Drink Wine by the Glass (2027)

Best Wine Bars in Miami (2026) | Coravin Guide

Tap a pin to open the venue. Gold pins are Exceptional venues.

The best wine bars in Miami are as likely to sit in a Little Haiti shopping plaza as 54 floors above Brickell, and that range is the city's strength. At Seia, Gaja Barbaresco and Château d'Yquem have been poured by the glass beside works by Warhol and Hirst. In the Design District, COTE's cellar holds more than 4,000 bottles, while L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon gives nearly half its glass list to sweet and oxidative wines, from Vin Jaune to a 1969 Maury. On Calle Ocho, Happy Wine sets more than 1,000 bottles against graffiti walls and live music. Across these 27 venues, the glass runs from Uruguayan Garzón on Biscayne Bay to 1964 Rioja in North Miami, and the city drinks far more seriously than its reputation suggests.

Amazónico Miami

Restaurant · 800 Brickell Ave, Miami, FL 33131, USA

Few rooms in Brickell take theatre as seriously as Amazónico, a multi-storey dining room dressed in tropical planting and volcanic stone, where live music downstairs gives way to a lounge and, higher still, a rooftop club. The wine programme matches that sense of occasion. A team of five sommeliers works the floor, with a dedicated sommelier looking after each table, and the by-the-glass list reaches well beyond the expected: Dom Pérignon 2017 by the glass, a Napa Sauvignon Blanc from the Eisele Vineyard, and library Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 poured tableside from a three-litre bottle. Back vintages from large formats are a house habit. Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and California anchor the list, with Chile, Spain and Italy lending range to plates of Latin American cooking and sushi.

COTE Miami

Restaurant · 3900 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33137, USA

Simon Kim's Korean steakhouse brought its New York formula to the Design District in February 2021: tabletop grills, prime beef and a room built for conviviality. What sets COTE apart for wine lovers is a cellar of more than 4,000 bottles across over 1,000 references, where blue-chip châteaux and Champagne houses sit alongside a deliberate tilt towards organic, biodynamic and sustainably farmed growers. Grower Champagne is a particular strength, and the glass list rewards curiosity, with pours such as a Greco Bianco from Calabria or an Abruzzo Montepulciano next to the classics. A large sommelier team, led on the floor by wine manager Jacob Uber, keeps the pace up. Star Wine List has recognised the programme repeatedly, including Florida's best long list and best by-the-glass list in 2026.

Casa Tua Cucina — Restaurant in Miami

Casa Tua Cucina

Restaurant · 70 SW 7th St, Miami, FL 33130, USA

Set just off Brickell's busiest blocks, Casa Tua Cucina is the all-day, market-hall sibling of the Miami Beach original: ten food stations, a bar, and a wine list given over to around a hundred Italian labels. The by-the-glass selection is generous and pointedly adventurous, built around native grapes and less familiar expressions of well-known ones. A Pignoletto Superiore from the hills outside Bologna, rarely seen in Florida, might share the list with a Vermentino from the steep terraces of the Cinque Terre. Filippo Visconti di Modrone oversees the wine, and the approach suits the room perfectly: a glass of something unexpected from a small Italian estate, matched to a plate from whichever station catches the eye, at any hour from breakfast onwards.

Maple and Ash, Miami

Restaurant · 699 NE 1st Ave 2nd floor, Miami, FL 33132, USA

Up on the second floor at Miami Worldcenter, close to the Kaseya Center, Maple & Ash applies its Chicago steakhouse polish to steak, seafood and weekend brunch. The wine list balances small producers with famous names, and the by-the-glass programme is one of the broadest in the downtown core: 49 pours, among them eight Champagnes and eight dessert wines. An icon selection offers three-ounce tastes of bottles that rarely appear by the glass, such as Le Petit Mouton 2008, Vega Sicilia's Alión and Quintessa. Elsewhere, a Château Giscours 2018 from Margaux, an Edna Valley white blend from Andremily and a 2017 Royal Tokaji five-puttonyos Aszú show the spread. Szabi Herczeg, who spent time in Napa before Miami, leads a team with a strong training ethos.

Seia

Restaurant · 830 Brickell Plaza, Miami, FL 33131, USA

Fifty-odd floors above Brickell, on the 54th and 55th levels of 830 Brickell, Seia pairs contemporary Italian cooking with an invitation-only members' club, surrounded by works by Warhol, Hirst and Condo. The project, from OKO Group and The Bastion Collection, takes wine as seriously as its art. Beverage director Uroš Tomasović, previously at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and Le Jardinier, works with limited-production bottles and exclusive allocations, and a substantial share of the glass list is drawn from bottles that would ordinarily be sold whole. Biondi-Santi Brunello Riserva, Gaja Barbaresco and Château d'Yquem have all been poured by the glass. Piedmont and Tuscany lead, with Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and Napa close behind, and a sweet-wine corner running from Sauternes to Tokaji and Vin de Constance.

Sexy Fish Miami

Restaurant · 1001 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130, USA

Brickell's Sexy Fish is a high-wattage Asian restaurant and bar, serving sushi, sashimi and robata-grilled seafood and meat beneath a deep agave collection. The wine list is far more serious than the party atmosphere might suggest. Grand cru Burgundy, Champagne, Bordeaux and Napa form the backbone, and a sommelier's selection reaches to Slovenia, Armenia, Hungary, Lebanon, Mexico and Canada, with plenty of sake alongside. The by-the-glass offer is the headline: Dom Pérignon 2017 and Opus One 2021 have both been poured in five-ounce measures, and Star Wine List named it International By the Glass List of the Year in 2025. A team of lead sommeliers, including James Fenton, guides the room through classics and lesser-known bottles with equal confidence.

Amara at Paraiso

Restaurant · 3101 NE 7th Ave, Miami, FL 33137, USA

Set right on Biscayne Bay in Edgewater, Amara at Paraiso has one of the city's best waterside dining rooms, and its Latin American cooking is matched by a list that looks south with real conviction. Beverage director Amanda Fraga, who worked a Burgundy harvest at Domaine de Bellene in 2014, has built a selection rich in South American and Iberian wines: Garzón from Uruguay, including the Balasto 2016, Argentine Malbec, Vinho Verde, Catalan sparkling and single-parcel Rioja. A rosé Txakoli is a favourite pour for the view, and Timorasso, a rarity anywhere by the glass, makes an appearance too. Glasses come in six- and nine-ounce measures, and the classics, from Sancerre to Champagne, are there for anyone who prefers familiar ground.

Ava Coconut Grove

Restaurant · 2889 McFarlane Rd, Miami, FL 33133, USA

In the leafy heart of Coconut Grove, AVA MediterrAegean brings the food and spirit of the Aegean to a polished, plant-filled dining room. The idea of parea, the Greek art of gathering friends around a table, sets the tone, and the wine list follows suit with a leaning towards crisp whites and lighter reds that suit shared Mediterranean plates. There are 22 wines by the glass, and Greece is given proper attention: Athanasiou's Assyrtiko from the Peloponnese, rich yet saline, is a signature pour. Burgundy and wider France provide the backbone, while a traditional Rioja Reserva from Bodegas Navajas offers excellent value. Beverage director Fernando Araiza, who has spent around two decades in wine, shapes a list that favours freshness and conversation over showmanship.

Casa Neos

Restaurant · 40 SW North River Dr, Miami, FL 33128, USA

On the north bank of the Miami River downtown, Casa Neos is built around the water: guests can arrive by boat, dine across a two-level restaurant, then move to a lounge or the members-only rooftop with its skyline views. Mediterranean cooking sets the menu, and the 22-strong glass list is designed to flex with mood, budget and plate. Cool-climate wines and France are the strengths, with Champagne the natural opener on the terrace. Two pours show the thinking: Lingua Franca's Avni Chardonnay from Oregon's Willamette Valley, and a Chenin Blanc from Domaine Montgilet in Anjou. Beverage director Fernando Araiza and head sommelier Collin Blees run a programme that keeps a serious bottle within reach of a riverside evening out, without ever feeling stiff.

Casa Tua, Miami

Restaurant · 1700 James Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139, USA

Casa Tua has been a fixture of South Beach for years, an Italian restaurant, small hotel and private members' club in a Mediterranean-style villa on James Avenue, with a garden patio that remains one of Miami Beach's most coveted tables. The wine list runs to dozens of pages and its glass selection is predominantly Italian, with benchmark bottles from France, Spain and the United States filling out the range. Barolo, Barbaresco and Champagne are natural strengths, and the glass list reaches surprisingly high: Dom Pérignon 2017 and Faiveley's Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 have both been poured. Beverage director Alessandro Lapomarda, a specialist in Italian fine wine, oversees a programme that suits the house perfectly, generous and assured, with booking essential most evenings.

Claudie

Restaurant · 1101 Brickell Ave S-113, Miami, FL 33131, USA

Claudie brings a Riviera mood to Brickell Avenue, with cooking that moves between the South of France and the Italian coast and a dining room equally suited to a long lunch or a late dinner. Thirty-one wines are poured by the glass, with France given the clearest emphasis: Champagne and Bordeaux are the pillars, supported by Provençal-leaning rosés and Italian whites. Head sommelier Miguel Martínez Porras, a Spaniard with more than twenty years in wine, has led programmes at starred restaurants in Spain and the United States and was named Best Sommelier of Colombia in 2021. His personal favourite on the list is a Heathen Chardonnay from Santa Barbara, a nod to his mentor Heath Porter, and the kind of considered pour that sets the list apart.

Fooq's

Restaurant · 150 NW 73rd St, Miami, FL 33150, USA

Fooq's first opened downtown in 2015 and returned in 2026 with a new home in Little River, redesigned by Stockholm's JOYN Studios and built around a wood-fired kitchen cooking Persian-influenced New American food. The wine programme has grown up alongside it. The glass list rotates constantly, focusing on lesser-known grapes and older vintages, and includes three-ounce dynamic pours for anyone who wants to taste widely. Organic, biodynamic and regenerative producers are well represented, with Burgundy a quiet strength: a Volnay from François Buffet sits beside Arianna Occhipinti's skin-contact SP68 Bianco from Sicily. Sparkling wines and rosé round out a list that already feels at home in the neighbourhood, and rewards anyone willing to try an unfamiliar grape.

Klaw

Restaurant · 1737 N Bayshore Dr, Miami, FL 33132, USA

Klaw occupies the historic Miami Women's Club building in Edgewater, looking out over Biscayne Bay, and centres its menu on king crab and prime beef. The wine philosophy is that a glass should be every bit as interesting as a bottle, so the glass list climbs from fresh, easy-drinking whites to Burgundy, Barolo and Napa without forcing anyone to commit to 750ml. Recent pours have included Jouard's Chassagne-Montrachet 2023, G.D. Vajra's Ravera Barolo 2021 and Quintessa from Rutherford. Beyond the glass list, the bottle selection runs for dozens of pages, strongest in Burgundy and Bordeaux but reaching from Australia to Alsace, with sake for the seafood. Sommeliers Dylan Robinson and Lia Sanchez lead the floor in one of Miami's most handsome rooms.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

Restaurant · 151 NE 41st St, Miami, FL 33137, USA

In the Design District, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon seats 34 at a counter facing the open kitchen, where executive chef James Friedberg serves modern French cooking in the late chef's signature small-plate style. The wine list is rooted in France and changes often, with around 35 wines by the glass plus a sake and two half-bottle Champagnes. Its most distinctive trait is the depth of sweet, fortified and oxidative wines: nearly half the glass list sits in that territory, from Jura Vin Jaune to Mas Amiel Maury 1969 and Château d'Yquem 2005. Reserve pours in three- or five-ounce measures include Biondi-Santi Brunello and a 2004 Jurançon. Head sommelier Henrique Castillo, with The Bastion Collection since 2018, runs a list as precise as the cooking.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro

Restaurant · 4312 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33137, USA

A few blocks from the Design District, Mandolin occupies a restored 1940s bungalow with a lush garden that feels a long way from the city. The cooking draws on the Greek and Turkish coasts, and the wine list mirrors it: native varieties, family-scale producers and vineyards farmed with a light, sustainable touch, much of it organic or biodynamic. There are 21 wines by the glass, with Greece, Italy and France at the core, and some genuinely rare pours: a Paros white blend of Assyrtiko, Malagousia and Monemvasia from Ktima Roussos, Oddero's Monlia Timorasso, and a 2004 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. Sommelier Freddy Vargas also keeps a rotating selection of allocated bottles in several pour sizes, so the list rewards repeat visits as much as the mezze.

Michael's Genuine Food & Drink

Restaurant · 130 NE 40th St, Miami, FL 33137, USA

Michael's Genuine Food & Drink is a Design District anchor, a relaxed room from chef Michael Schwartz serving approachable American cooking with real care for the produce. The wine list is wide-ranging and refreshingly unstuffy, running through France, Germany, Italy, Austria, South Africa, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia as well as the United States. The by-the-glass selection is eclectic, includes a house blend made in collaboration with winemakers, and drops some glasses to friendly prices at happy hour. A Californian traditional-method sparkling wine from Weatherford by Westborn is a typical find. Beverage director Amanda Fraga, who trained on a Burgundy harvest, oversees the programme across the group, and her team's enthusiasm is evident at every table.

MILA occupies a rooftop on Meridian Avenue in Miami Beach, a multi-part venue whose restaurant, lounge, omakase counter and members' space draw on the coastal cooking of the Mediterranean and Japan. The wine offer is built with unusual care for a party-friendly room. Twenty-nine wines are poured by the glass, chosen as a snapshot of the bottle list and drawn from its busiest sections, so the selection stays fresh. Champagne and Burgundy lead, and a blanc de noirs from Renard Barnier holds a special place: it was the wine that prompted the team to start importing its own glass pours. Beverage director Fernando Araiza and head sommelier Valentina Vargas run a programme that pairs neatly with robata dishes and raw fish.

Pauline

Restaurant · South Beach, Miami Beach, FL 33139, USA

Pauline, the restaurant at The Shelborne by Proper in South Beach, takes its name from Pauline Baker, credited with helping popularise Latin and Caribbean cooking, and its wine list follows the routes she travelled. South America is the heart of it, with plenty of organic, biodynamic and regenerative producers from elsewhere too. Twenty-one wines are poured by the glass, plus a seasonal reserve selection of around ten more. Two pours capture the spirit: Bodega Colomé's Torrontés from some of the highest vineyards in South America, and Bodega Chacra's Barda Pinot Noir from ungrafted Patagonian vines, farmed organically and biodynamically. Andy Fernandez runs the programme, matching Argentine, Spanish and Californian bottles to the kitchen's bright, spice-driven dishes.

Slim's brings Stephen Starr's sense of theatre to Bal Harbour Shops: an American steakhouse styled after a 1930s and 1940s supper club, with leather banquettes, marble floors and Art Deco murals. The wine list suits the setting, strongest in Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Piedmont, Tuscany and Napa, with 26 wines by the glass including a sommelier's selection of prestige and allocated bottles. Aubert's East Side Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley, Pio Cesare Barolo 2021 and Caymus are among the grander pours, while a Castello di Monsanto Chianti Riserva is the suggested partner for the restaurant's hundred-dollar cheesesteak. Head of wine Ewa Ferguson, a veteran of BLT Steak and Makoto, keeps the list confident and classic.

In Wynwood, among the murals and galleries, Sparrow Italia blends Italian cooking with steakhouse swagger: fresh pasta, premium cuts and a room built for long evenings. The glass list leans firmly Italian, with selections running from Friuli down to Sicily, among them Frappato, a Nerello Mascalese rosé and a zero-dosage Alto Langa sparkling wine, Contratto's Millesimato Pas Dosé. Michele Chiarlo's Cipressi Barbera from Nizza is a reliable red for pasta, and a featured list steps up to Puligny-Montrachet, Brunello, Amarone and Californian Cabernet from Jordan. A non-alcoholic sparkling rosé is a thoughtful addition. Beverage director Juan Carlos Santana runs a programme that keeps Italy central while leaving room for Provence, Champagne and California.

Vinoteca is a small wine shop and bar on Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove, opened in 2023 by mother and daughter Sandra and Alex McDonnell after Alex studied viticulture and oenology in Piacenza. Italy dominates, but the 27 wines by the glass also stray into off-the-beaten-track corners of South America and Europe. The list is organised by style rather than region, from sparkling and crisp whites to light reds, bold reds and port, which makes it easy to find a way in, and the staff enjoy steering regulars towards something unexpected. Suavia's Soave Classico, a Nerello Mascalese rosé from Gorghi Tondi and Primonero Negroamaro show the flavour of the list. Small producers and lesser-known grapes are the house speciality.

Easy to miss in a modest Little Haiti shopping plaza, Boia De announces itself only with a neon exclamation mark, yet its modern Italian cooking from chefs Alex Meyer and Luciana Giangrandi has made it one of Miami's hardest tables to book. The room is small and intimate, and the wine list, run by wine director Gabriela Ospina, is a joy. It favours small producers and sustainable farming, leans alternative rather than classic, with Arneis, Lambrusco and Vermentino, and gives light, crunchy reds a section of their own. Special releases and reserve bottles keep things moving: a 1999 Ronchi di Cialla Ciallabianco from Friuli and a Blanc de Noirs Champagne from Julien Prélat in the Côte des Bar have both been poured by the glass.

Bar Bucce is a market, pizzeria, coffee bar and bottle shop rolled into one in Little River, built in the Italian bar tradition where a morning espresso can drift into an evening glass. The wine list is effectively the shelves: more than a hundred bottles from around the world, starting at modest prices, with a focus on low-intervention winemaking and lesser-known grapes, all available to drink in or take away. Italy is the core, with Jura, Greece, Germany, Spain and sherry adding range. Recent glasses have included an Oddero Piemonte 2023 and Monte Rio's skin-contact Vermentino from Lodi. Partner and beverage director Jacqueline Pirolo, who also runs Macchialina's list, brings serious wine thinking to a relaxed outdoor setting made for pizza and sharing.

Edan means "to drink" in Basque, a fitting name for this intimate North Miami bistro run by chef and wine director Aitor Garate Berasaluze. Raised in the Basque Country, he trained at Azurmendi and Asador Etxebarri, where he was head sommelier, and brings both the cooking and the cellar instincts of that region to his seasonal menu. The list is a celebration of Spain, moving from boutique growers to classic houses, with Rioja and Ribera del Duero as anchors. It can also reach back remarkably far: R. López de Heredia's Viña Bosconia Gran Reserva 1964 has been offered by the glass. Wine pairings and small winemaker dinners round out a programme that feels personal, rooted and quietly ambitious for such a small room.

The shelves hold more than 1,000 wines, and any bottle can come off the wall and onto the table. Owners JC and Joanna Restrepo, JC a former New York sommelier, lean towards Spain and South America. The 14-strong glass list spans whites, a rosé, an orange wine and reds, with Denner's The New Colossus, a Rhône-style blend from Paso Robles, at the top.

A South Beach staple since 2012, Macchialina sits on the quieter west side of the island, where chef Michael Pirolo's rustic Italian cooking and his sister Jacqueline Pirolo's wine list have built a loyal local following. The list is entirely Italian apart from Champagne, celebrating fringe grapes and the farming families who grow them, with classic regions such as Barolo and Barbaresco sharing space with orange wines and low-intervention bottles. Every wine is offered as a full bottle or as a 375ml half poured with Coravin, so a Ciavolich Pecorino from Abruzzo or a Rosso di Montalcino from Castello Tricerchi can be tasted without opening the whole thing.

The room is snug and the atmosphere easy, which suits a wine list that is short, sharp and full of character. Around ten wines are poured by the glass, rotating with the menu, and run from light, obscure whites to crunchy and occasionally funky reds, with natural, orange and pét-nat bottles well represented. Old World wines lead, with Italy, Spain and Portugal prominent, and a Sancerre from Firmin Dezat is a typical glass. Head sommelier Gabriela Ospina adds sherry, port and Madeira for the end of the night.

How We Select Venues

The Coravin Guide selects venues based on the quality and ambition and depth of their wine-by-the-glass programme.

Each venue is rated on how many wines it keeps open by the glass: Exceptional for more than 60, Outstanding for 41 to 60, Excellent for 20 to 40, and Greg’s Hidden Gems for small lists chosen for inspiration rather than scale. In Miami that gives six Outstanding, fifteen Excellent and six Hidden Gems. The deepest list is at Maple and Ash, Miami, with 49 wines open at any one time.

No venue pays to be included. Ratings reflect the overall standard of the wine-by-the-glass experience, not the broader dining or hospitality offering.

Wine by the glass turns a single evening into a tasting flight, and the wine bars in Miami above show how far a thoughtful by-the-glass programme can travel — from grower Champagne to bio-dynamic reds. Use the map to plan a crawl by neighbourhood, and open each venue for opening hours, the current pour list, and booking details.
