Hakkasan's Wine Cellar Counter Is the Most Interesting Seat in Miami Right Now
Hakkasan Miami runs three wine tasting tiers on select Saturdays — The Classic at 3pm, The Reserve at 4pm, and The Grand Cru at 5pm in the restaurant's secluded wine cellar. The Grand Cru includes vintage champagne, five rare wines, Wagyu A5, and caviar. It is the most ambitious wine experience at a Miami Beach restaurant.

Hakkasan Miami runs three wine tasting experiences on select Saturdays, each at a different price point and a different level of ambition. The entry point is The Classic — $135 per guest, 3pm, a sparkling pour and four wines paired with almond prawns and smoked beef ribs. It is a well-constructed introduction to the format. But The Classic is not the reason to book.
The Reserve at 4pm steps up to a champagne welcome, four premium pours from around the world, a dessert wine, elevated culinary pairings, and personalized tasting notes. It is the format that most wine dinners in Miami aspire to. But The Reserve is also not the reason to book.
The Grand Cru is the reason to book. At 5pm, a small group is seated at the counter of Hakkasan's secluded wine cellar — a room that most guests who have eaten at the restaurant have never seen. The pour is vintage champagne. Then five rare and limited-production wines. The culinary pairings include Wagyu A5 and caviar. Valet is included.
The wine cellar counter is the kind of seat that changes how you think about a restaurant. Hakkasan at the Fontainebleau is one of the most dramatic dining rooms in Miami — coral leather seats, illuminated agate floors, a massive fish tank with live coral. The cellar is the opposite of all of that: quiet, focused, and built entirely around what is in the glass.
The Classic — $135++. 3pm. Sparkling pour, four wines, almond prawns and smoked beef ribs. Valet included. The Reserve — 4pm. Champagne welcome, four premium pours, dessert wine, elevated pairings, personalized tasting notes. Valet included. The Grand Cru — 5pm. Wine cellar counter. Vintage champagne, five rare wines, Wagyu A5, caviar, dessert. Valet included.
All three tiers are available on select Saturdays. Book through Resy. The Grand Cru seats are limited — the cellar counter is not a large room, which is the point.
Hakkasan Miami is at 4441 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, inside the Fontainebleau. The NYE seatings — first at 6pm, second at 8:30pm — are also on Resy now.
