Coral Gables is the heart and soul of Miami. With rows of store fronts for the local community, Miracle Mile in the Gables is drawing not just locals but those who seek a home away from home. Vinya Table, nestled between Snow’s Jewelers and Coral Gables staple, Frattelino, is an enclave for those who seek to find their inner sommelier along with home cooked meals.

Vinya Table, offering over 30 glasses of wine, has a diverse affordable selection. Wines from 11 dollars a glass to bottles of Chateau Neuf – du – Pap for 850 dollars a bottle can be found on the menu. A true sanctuary, “The Table” offers charcuterie and wine pairings where one can savor the flavors of the extensive wine menu.

Celebrating their commitment to the wine list created by Allegra Angelo, Vinya Table offers the longest happy hour in Coral Gables. From 3 to 7 pm every day Gableites can enjoy cocktails like the Chin Chin Tonic and Strawberry Margherita for prices between four and 10 dollars. On Wednesdays live music brings flavor to the long and narrow interior of the rustic restaurant.

To start the night off at Vinya Table it is no doubt enjoyable to experience a glass of their Pierre Cellier House Champagne where a rim of truffle salt can be added for an additional fee. For the young urban professionals flocking to Miami and becoming a member of the Gableites world, the happy hour menu does not disappoint. Manchego Croquetas, Grilled Shrimp Tacos, and Morcilla Spring Rolls, filled with an onion marmalade, are just a few of the tasty treasures offered for those who seek a fun social hour.

When savoring dishes from the menu it is a must to start with the Hamachi Tiradito and the Smoked Burrata featuring rainbow beet carpaccio and pistachio-basil pesto. The presentation adds a fun vibe to the restaurant as the smoked Burrata is presented in a glass arched case where smoke is visible and then released for the nose to smell the succulent flavors of the dish. The prize of the main dishes is the Moroccan Lamb Chops that are herb-panko crusted with charred onion-baba ghanoush and crispy chickpea salad. Homemade pastas melt in your mouth and items from the Vinya Burger featuring Wagyu meat to the Tomahawk steak with black truffle butter are also available. Items from meat to a variety of fish like the Branzino with roasted pepper- coconut cream stew make Vinya Table’s menu versatile for all.

To many, wine creates warmth and good food creates comfort. Vinya Table not only nails this through their extensive selection of wines and cocktails along with their versatile yet delicious menu, but it is their presentation that gives this venue Gabelite charm. The Tableside Tiramisu dessert is perhaps the most fun presentation at Vinya Table. Fresh French press coffee is poured over the bread base of the dessert leading to an organic and crisp flavor of coffee followed by a layering of fresh cream. The dessert is created tableside and is truly tasty. The staff at Vinya Table aims to please. Excellent service creates a feeling of home.

“It doesn’t feel like working when you are with wine,” says Evelyn Vanegas, restaurant manager.

With a world of sommeliers and servers presenting some of the finest food in the Gables along with a wonderful world of wine, Vinya Table’s new and more advanced second location brings true flavor to the heart of Coral Gables and Miami. It is truly home for all those who seek social hour refuge or Gableite glamour.

Tourists and locals alike gravitate to this region known as one of the active art districts in the world. And, so many real estate designers and professionals truly are inspired by the area including hotelier Michael Krymchantowski. The successful Brazilian businessman was one of the first to open doors on the streets that once laid out some undesirable abandoned lots. It was not overnight, but rather years of perseverance that brought in financial gain and a stellar reputation as a property developer with Krymwood Flats.

“I started years ago with an Airbnb multifamily building and remodeling each apartment making it a very pleasurable place to stay,” said the owner. “I have done the right thing by making the guests love it. We have hundreds of online positive reviews.”

In 2000, the property started as the first official hotel in the Wynwood neighborhood. Now it is a legendary landmark with tourists and locals alike. The accommodation’s business model is modern and colorful like the surrounding art installations on every corner of the district. Proud of his property that embraces the lively tone of the local streets, it even is decorated in a unique sunset-and-bamboo mural reflective of the region.

“When I found the neighborhood all my friends said I was crazy to finance in this underdeveloped zone,” he stated while talking about the initial investment. “I helped to clean the area. I made it a safe and hip place to stay in Miami.”

Everything about his studio properties that are rented by guests traveling to South Florida sparks originality. The grand hospitality speaks volumes and extends out beyond the corridors of the 21-unit establishment. Krymchantowski’s business continues to grow because people who stay at Krymwood Flats know they are coming for more than a place to sleep at night. They are coming for a lifestyle.

And Krymchantowski’s desire for continued growth in his incredible hotel portfolio is becoming a reality. In 2024, he is expanding with a new short-term rental concept that is due to produce great revenue. He is a businessman that is bringing business and jobs to Miami, as well as compassion to keep the neighborhood thriving. All this will be done with the great spirit of Wynwood continuing to succeed as a number one destination.

Buy the T-Shirt “F1-L6” for $1.599.000

and

get an apartment for free!

Breganze (Italy), December 3rd, 2019. As announced in November 2018, for the first time ever DIESEL, together with the real estate group Bel-Invest, has entered the world of real estate with the first residential DIESEL building, located in Miami, Florida.

And what was the workaround to keep clothes front-and-center in the project, starting from the launch? An unconventional campaign called “The Condo T-shirts–The Most Expensive T–Shirts Ever”: 143 unique tops that cost the approximate of a new dwelling, each t-shirt featuring a front-facing printed graphic of one of 143 apartments at DIESEL’s Wynwood condo development.

With near certainty, the company claims that these are “the most expensive t-shirts in the world.” T-shirt “D6-L7”, for example, clocks in at a tab of $1.049.000. T-shirt “F2-L7” has a price tag of $5.500.000. But if you buy one, you get a new home—in DIESEL’s brand new Wynwood condominium for free.

The campaign, created by the creative agency SMALL and directed and photographed by Hernan Corera, will be launched on December 3rd in Miami and features a typical high-end (and at the same time high-street) fashion campaign approach, with DIESEL’s unmistakably ironic touch.

Before deciding to buy one you can also have a sneak peek at how the apartments will be, starting from December 4th at the Diesel Wynwood Condominium – 148 NW, 28TH ST, Miami.

Sales are open, what are you waiting for?

As a fusion between sea and city, Miami’s Wynwood district is home to the largest, most ambitious project yet from Diesel Living: a contemporary residence where the surrounding artistic and post-industrial scape merges with the nearness of nature—the essence of DIESEL, conceived for the first time as a dramatic, luxurious space of comfort and cutting-edge design.

Wynwood is Miami at its best. It’s where the ocean breeze carries the water and the sky, where disused warehouses have birthed a vibrant new cosmopolitan culture, and where a city of artful regeneration and proximity to the elements has taken root. And, at the heart of this new Miami, DIESEL presents a vision of what modern metropolitan life can be with a light-filled residence guided by nature and well-being.

The Diesel Wynwood, a WELL-certified building, is enriched by a host of rivetingly designed areas, including a vividly contemporary pool, gym, meditation room, meeting space, and an expansive, open-space lobby with an art gallery zone, plus the extravagance of a courtyard, which in DIESEL’s hands becomes a jungle of tropical plants for residents.

Bringing light into living spaces, and nature inside, apartments feature gradient walls and discreetly reflective surfaces that capitalize on the sun. Living spaces are rendered in varying shades according to their directional orientation. This includes 7 individually designed penthouse duplexes and maisonettes with private terraces. Cosmic swirls of liquid marble cloak the lobby, halls and corridors, and apartment bathrooms, rendering these interiors nearly hallucinogenic in their effect.

The symbiosis of nature and urbanity at Diesel Wynwood sees the building’s tropical greenery complemented by bold industrial materials of concrete, golden mesh, pipes, and metal. Nature brings shadows on concrete defining the interior’s wallpapers that reflect what happens in the courtyard. The hybrid aesthetic, designed for the most modern of free thinkers, brings art into living—and shared spaces in the building highlight the creativity of this bravely unconventional community.

Refracted light installations and infinite mirror reflections create staggeringly surreal spaces to move through in hallways and lounges, a sensorial experience that imparts a futuristic and even mind-bending feeling to the everyday in this forward-looking living space.

Clad in black brick with minimalist wood screens and broad glass windows, and a daring colorful finish on the structure, Diesel Wynwood reflects the warehouses of the neighborhood in an avant-garde key, with a structure that declares the audacity of the state-of-the-art residence inside. Diesel’s distinctive approach—twisting luxury, nature, and the post-industrial city into a dynamic modern aesthetic—forges a unique home that joins together today’s most intelligent and imaginative denizens to live in this visionary enclave.

The interior design project grows under the creative guide of DIESEL and reflects the values and the distinctive style of DIESEL LIVING. The building is designed by Zyschovich Architects and developed by Bel Invest Group, an international real estate developer with offices in Miami, Berlin, Barcelona, and Vicenza (Italy).
