Winery · Avize
"Among the Champagne houses we visited, the cellar tour and tastings at Frerejean Frères stood out, and from the many pours we tried over the trip, our group ultimately crowned the Frerejean Frères Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru as the standout wine." - Janice Wald Henderson
Winery · Épernay
"As we drove through storybook villages and rolling, vine-covered hills, we stopped at Champagne Boizel to tour its cellars and learn in detail how Champagne is produced, experiencing it as one of several houses woven into the cruise’s tasting itinerary." - Janice Wald Henderson
Winery · Aÿ
"During one of our Champagne excursions, we toured the cellars of La Maison Ayala, seeing firsthand how bubbly goes from grape to bottle as part of a series of visits to local Champagne houses that punctuated days on the river." - Janice Wald Henderson
Bar · Asheville
"Most of the year, this Asheville bar serves as a charming neighborhood cocktail den, but each February during the coldest Southern Appalachian snap it becomes the Tropilachia Club for one month, turning the former grocery store into a warm, rum-scented escape with a secret menu revealed only on opening night and past hits like the Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Coconut Martini—neither itty nor weeny but irresistibly coconutty—plus creations in the vein of a spiked Vietnamese Iced Coffee, all bathed in cozy lighting for a brief but blissful vacation from winter." - Carrie Honaker
Bar · Federal Hill
"This West End spot leans hard into mid-century camp with string lights, vintage décor, a firepit, and a patio bar that somehow feels tropical even when you can see your breath, while inside a big central bar and the “Granny Boo’s Kitchen” window feed the crowd as Blue Hawaiians, Mai Tais, Piña Coladas, and other umbrella-topped, fruit-laden drinks in tropical glassware keep the vibe cheerfully unpretentious." - Carrie Honaker
Cocktail bar · Ohio City
"From a quiet, unassuming brick exterior between Ohio City and Clark-Fulton, the interior opens into a lush, rum-soaked portal to parts unknown that feels especially welcome in a Cleveland winter, with Filipino bar snacks from a family-run kitchen and drinks served in vintage mugs inherited from the city’s famed Kon Tiki, plus large-format group cocktails that deliver a secret joy when shared with friends." - Carrie Honaker
Cocktail bar · Brewery District
"December brings out the bar’s full holiday-tropical personality as it decks itself in festive décor, serves cocktails in outrageous mugs, and encourages Hawaiian shirts as though Columbus suddenly had a beach, with cheeky drinks like a carrot-cardamom Mai Tai, Christmas at La Casona, and Santa’s Go Go Juice providing brightly flavored fun against the snowy backdrop outside." - Carrie Honaker
Bar · Bentonville
"Behind a midnight-blue gallery door lies a sleek, moody tropical escape tailored to the crisp winters of Northwest Arkansas, where drinks like the smooth Tropical Derby and floral Lehua Flower pair with Coconut Shrimp, Hamachi Crudo, and Hurricane Popcorn in a setting that feels polished yet playful, like a winter getaway that decided to dress up." - Carrie Honaker
Cocktail bar · Irondequoit
"Perched beside Lake Ontario in Rochester’s Sea Breeze District for more than 80 years, this beachfront bar mixes firepits, an antique jukebox, live music, and vintage tiki charm that predates the modern revival, with roots as a Prohibition-era speakeasy where George Magin poured Scofflaws made from bootleg Canadian liquor; today it’s a beloved lakeside haunt where summer energy lingers even when the shoreline freezes and you find snow outside but sand underfoot." - Carrie Honaker
Bar · Squirrel Hill North
"Snow outside and rum inside define this Squirrel Hill standout, which dodges cliché tropi-kitsch in favor of honoring the tradition rooted in Donn Beach and Filipino bartenders of the 1930s, pouring a properly punchy Mai Tai, the Passa Passa with three Jamaican rums, hibiscus, and spices, and the Tokyo Drift with Batavia Arrack and Thai spices, all designed to make the winter weather feel like someone else’s problem by the time your glass is empty." - Carrie Honaker
