Wine enthusiasts no longer need to travel to wine country to savor
a tasty Merlot or Chardonnay. Instead, travelers in search of a fine
wine can simply head to Vino Volo, a sophisticated escape located in
the AIRMALL(R) at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall
(BWI) Airport. Travelers can sip great wines, enjoy specialty cheeses,
and meats, and unwind in plush leather lounge chairs before take-off.
In celebration of the new location, Vino Volo is hosting a grand
opening event for media at the new Concourse A location on Thursday,
April 12, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
"The addition of Vino Volo to the AIRMALL(R) is yet another
example of how BAA Maryland continues to offer travelers unique
experiences before and after their flights," noted Patrick Walsh, Vice
President, BAA Maryland. "We are pleased to welcome this high-end wine
shop to the AIRMALL(R) at BWI."
Vino Volo combines a cozy wine lounge, tasting bar and restaurant
into a sophisticated retreat for the traveling public. Vino Volo
(derived from "wine flight" in Italian) offers hand-selected wines
from around the world by the glass, in themed tasting flights of small
pours, and by the bottle for retail customers to take home or have
shipped.
"Vino Volo is a completely new concept in wine retail and travel.
We provide a unique wine tasting opportunity for travelers looking for
an out of the ordinary place to spend their time before boarding,"
said Doug Tomlinson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vino Volo.
Every wine is available by the glass, by the bottle, as well as
part of a tasting flight, with prices ranging from $6 to $14 per glass
or tasting flight. The high-end splurge flight "Sommelier Series"
costs extra. Wines are also available through Vino Volo's Web site at
www.vinovolo.com. In addition, Vino Volo offers two wine clubs
"American Treasures" and "World Values" for enthusiasts who enjoy
sipping on select, hard-to-find wines. Club members can receive their
wines arrive monthly or quarterly.
Vino Volo also offers elegant small plate meals to pair with the
wines, including items such as locally-produced artisan cheeses, dry
cured meats, and smoked salmon rolls wrapped around crab meat and
creme fraiche. All of Vino Volo's dishes are available for customers
to enjoy in the store or to carry with them onto their flight.
Note to Media: All media must RSVP to Joanne Beardslee at least 24
hours prior to the event and present a valid Driver's License the day
of the event per security requirements. Registered media will be
greeted by Vino Volo staff at the Concourse A Security Checkpoint
where IDs will be checked. Vino Volo will escort secured media to the
new location. Joanne Beardslee of BAA Maryland can be reached at (412)
