The Marker is hosting Girls’ Night Out! This ladies-only event is perfect for any wine lover, and will be held on January 24th, from 5-7PM. Can’t make it for the Food and Wine festival? Try one of our recommended wine bars below for the perfect glass of wine in Key West!

Vinos on Duval

Take a night off and unwind with a glass (or a bottle!) of wine at Vinos on Duval. Their extensive menu covers flavors that every wine-lover will adore. Some of their wine list highlights include vintage Champagnes, perfect for a celebratory night, or trendy prosecco for a sparkling, Instagram-worthy drink! Make sure to take advantage of their airy porch to relax and people watch the masses on Duval street. We recommend keeping an eye on their various wine tasting and trivia night events for a great local experience.

Uva Wine Key West

Offering a globally enriched wine list, Uva Wine Shoppe is a go-to for the well-traveled wine lover. Their selection is comprised of small batch, limited production, estate-grown wines, leaving you to sample some truly special glasses. Pair your wine with their delectable European cheese and meat board. If you don’t finish they will happily package it up to take back to your room at The Marker for a late-night snack!

Grand Vin Wine Bar

Ever since its opening in 1997, family-owned Grand Vin has offered a wide-ranging collection of wines. The best part? You can buy a bottle and enjoy it on their front porch and watch the buzz of Duval Street from above. Make sure to follow along on their Facebook page—they offer weekly tasting events and holiday events!
