Vino Volo offers wine and tempting small plates.
Vino Volo – A boutique retail store, with a tasting lounge and bar, serves wines by the glass or in tasting flights. Wines can be purchased by the bottle, to take onboard or ship home (local laws permitting). Also available are small plates such as locally-produced artisanal cheeses and dry cured meats (all food can be packaged to carry onboard). Locations in 10 U.S. airports, including New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle and Philadelphia.
La Bodega Winery – A North Texas winery, La Bodega offers blessed respite from the chaos of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Pull up a chair at the mile-long granite bar and choose from a wide selection of boutique wines by the taste, glass and bottle. Food pairings, such as olive tapenade or boursin cheese, with crackers, suavely complement the vintages. Wine-related giftware, too.
Beaudevin Tapas and Wine Bar – Nestled inside Brussels Airport, this wine bar is divided into three sections: a central bar area; a social meeting area; and a more private zone for business travellers who want to rest or work. The list of vintages hails from Belgium – and throughout the world – and the tapas have a Mediterranean slant. Plans call for an international rollout in airports and railway stations.
