Welcome to the South Florida Wine Tasting and Food Pairing group!
We'll journey to local wine bars to sample wines, appetizers, and even main courses from across the wine spectrum and the culinary world.
We'll even include highly recommended restaurants along the way with hearty wine lists.
With this said our events are largely of two types: Informal get-togethers which I host where you choose what you wish to drink and eat at no initial cost and formal wine-tasting and food pairing events that are unhosted, requiring a ticket and costing an average of $150.
Our geographic reach (for now) will be between West Palm Beach and Pompano Beach.
No drinking or eating experience is required.
Be ready to learn a little about wine, share your knowledge of wine and food with others, meet new people, and share new experiences.
Separate checks will be issued for each person at each event and no one will be charged more than what she or he has ordered.
Ladies' nights are being contemplated but a host or hosts will be needed.
This is NOT an exclusively singles group, and many couples have joined our activities. It's a get-together group of fun people of all ages, shapes and sizes.
Please also consider joining South Florida Ethnic Foodies (and Pizza Too!!)
SALUD!

- Dua Champagne and Wine Lounge - Separate Checks!!!!!!Dua Champagne & Wine Bar, Lantana, FL
Let's all cleanse our palates and memories by spending an interesting evening at Dua, a unique and compact wine bar located in nearby and accessible Lantana.
From their website:
"Dua is an intimate champagne and wine bar specializing in caviar, small plates, cheese and charcuterie boards, fine wines and champagnes. Join us for happy hour from 5p-7p on Wednesdays through Friday! Check us out on special weekends for live DJ entertainment with late night music and dancing, as well as Wine Tasting events monthly.
Dua is the perfect intimate experience for guests to gather and enjoy a glass of fizzy delight. The name “DUA” originated from the owner's Albanian heritage.
The phrase “Te Dua,” means “I love you” in the Albanian language, but “Dua” can often be used as “want” or "desire" as well. Originally from New York, Chef/Owner Diana Boga found her love of food and hosting at a young age.
She began her culinary journey after finding a love for cheese boards and wine pairings. Her entrepreneurial and hospitality background along with her passion for hosting, allowed for DUA to be born.
DUA is the culmination of a lifelong dream for Boga, to bring the joy of both hospitality, the love of pairing food with wine, and to make people's hearts smile with food."
Let's give this small business some love and enjoy each other's company for the 4th and last time in 2024.
What a year!
