Celebrate the holidays with Champagne, fine wines, and an evening of seasonal flavors at Bites & Bubbles in Orlando’s Mills 50 District.

Thoughtfully selected pairings accompany each course, with two distinct Champagne styles featured throughout the evening. From the bright welcome pour to the fuller Brut Blanc de Noirs served with escargot, each glass adds to the celebration.
Gather your favorite people, savor the holiday season, and join us for a memorable evening around the table.
