Wine Tasting with Master Sommelier George Miliotes
George Miliote, master sommelier
Experience an unforgettable afternoon of wine exploration with Master Sommelier George Miliotes, one of fewer than 300 master sommeliers in the world. Known for his engaging style and deep knowledge, Miliotes guides guests through a curated selection of wines, sharing stories from his travels and insights into the art of tasting and pairing. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply curious to learn more, this relaxed and educational event offers the perfect opportunity to discover new favorites and deepen your appreciation for wine.
One of only 273 master sommeliers in the world, George Miliotes is a passionate educator and wine expert known for his deep knowledge and global perspective. He travels annually to top wine regions — from France to South Africa — to discover unique selections and build relationships with vintners, often helping create custom blends. Miliotes earned his master sommelier title in 2007 after passing a series of rigorous exams. From 2002 to 2016, he oversaw wine culture for Darden restaurants including The Capital Grille and co-founded Seasons 52, shaping award-winning wine lists and mentoring service teams. Today, he brings his expertise to Wine Bar George at Disney Springs — the only Florida wine bar led by a master sommelier — offering adventurous by-the-glass lists that reflect his global approach and commitment to exceptional guest experiences.
