The Wine & Cheese Experience will also include a Monte Carlo Night featuring Blackjack, Roulette and Craps tables.

STYLE

The Wine & Cheese Experience a semi-formal event so our guests will have a wide range of choices to express their style and personality. We encourage creative use of colors, cuts, and accessories.

SOPHISTICATION

The Wine & Cheese Experience is a great way to experience different wines that a winery or vineyard may offer. It allows you to have small glasses of a variety of different types and flavors of wines which can help you determine which you may want to take home with you.

By using the 5 S’s (see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor), you’ll be able to get the most out of any glass of wine.

Need to know which wine to serve with cheddar? Is port the only thing that goes with Stilton? Our on site Sommelier will educate guests on pairing your favorite wines with cheeses and other foods.

COMMEMORATION

This year’s Wine & Cheese Experience is dedicated to our beloved Brother Sylvester “Sly” Taylor who passed away in 2021.

Brother Taylor had over 40 years of experience in the Hospitality Industry, with 28 of those years spent at Walt Disney World Resort in Hospitality. His most rewarding roles were Certified Meeting Planner and Wine Sommelier in Convention Services.

He brought his passion for hospitality and his love for wine to the Wine & Cheese Experience as the chair of this event for multiple years.

To honor Sly, we are partnering with his family to award a scholarship in his honor to a student pursuing a career in hospitality.
