Walt Disney World® Resort – Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Wine Bar George at Disney Springs®
Collaborating with Master Sommelier George Miliotes, Cuningham helped bring Wine Bar George to Disney Springs®. The restaurant is the perfect showcase for the Master Sommelier to share with guests his passion and knowledge of wines from around the world. Featuring a limited seasonal menu, Wine Bar George gives guests an opportunity to indulge in food and wine “to go” from a walk-up window. Disney places high value on authentic details and storytelling, which allowed the design team to dive deep into the history and story from which this original restaurant concept evolved.

Warm wood details such as tables, bar tops, and decorative wine boxes are balanced with industrial elements, like brick walls, metal light fixtures, and exposed ceiling trusses to create a rustic, yet contemporary atmosphere.
