Snapshots of open day, from what I can see, fabulous facilities. Attending the ceremony talk, they'll be serving food later!!!
Marquis where the band played music and food stations, drinks were served. Posting more soon.
Cafe/bakery area on ground floor as you enter the Institute.
Extensive wine cellar in the wine and food theatre. It was lovely to see Ileana Fajardo again, she's always pushing the envelope with her wine pairings! The wines she suggested today went beautifully with the strong cheeses. She used to host my cooking classes when she had Vine Wine Shop with a Tasting Loft on Biscayne, a wonderful space! Ileana was responsible for introducing me to pairing Asian dishes with Champagne or Prosecco! It provided a WOW factor when guests arrived for my cooking class and a perfect pairing with my Rainbow Lettuce Wrap. I now have Gancia Prosecco sponsored by OWS. Nothing like bubbly to go with everything, light and refreshing.
See the spitoons in the counters for wine tasting? Not supposed to drink the wine, boo.
I got to try the student's delish pastries, the one at bottom right which is full of fresh fruits and berries, YUM! There was also a very nice coffee to go with it! Panther Coffee knows how to brew without burning the beans which makes coffee bitter. They'll be opening a retail outlet in midtown Miami, yay for coffee drinkers.
