The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation

Kicking off our Miami vacation in style, we got the details from Sergio F, the Miami Unilocaler with the hookup. He brought us over to the Fashion Night party at the CIFO that was sponsored by Barcardi. Let’s party!
The Warehouse space is nice for any event. The drinks and food were complimentary and very good. I ordered Vodka Madras, like it was fashionable. The shots of Caprese Salad, Pasta, Risoto, Polenta and Tiramisu were a perfect little meal in tiny portions.
We had a lot of fun wandering around the galleries, not taking pictures. I loved checking out the art/​design books in the library. I’m a design nerd sometimes.
Fun event and just the first party of our first night out in South Beach. Thank you to Sergio F. Keep partying it up Miami style.

This is a beautiful warehouse space, located by the old Miami Arena, that is a great open space for pretty much any kind of special event. The décor is open, all-​white and industrial chic with exposed roof beams and air conditioning ducts. The gallery is located behind a steel picket fence, and the outside wall looks to have artificial vines and no signage of the creative space behind the walls.
The open space fit perfectly for the event I attended today (the Remy Martin tasting). The set designers were able to create a «chemistry lab» of sorts — complete with stools reminiscent of my high school chem though MUCH nicer — and the beakers to mix our own cognac. Likewise with the barrel cask room. Minus one star for the audio /​video trouble we had for the first part of the presentation. Loved the drinks and rest of the presentation though. Tres Bien!
