Andrée Devove Bearison
Born in Burgundy, France, and raised in Florida, I bring a unique
perspective that blends Old World expertise with New World
enthusiasm. My journey in wine began with hands-on experience in
some of the most prestigious vineyards, studying at the Viti in Beaune,
where many of Burgundy’s top winemakers are trained. I honed my craft
as an apprentice winemaker at Domaine des Comtes Lafon in
Meursault, one of the world’s most renowned wineries, and worked five
harvests, primarily in Burgundy, with additional experience in Virginia.
Beyond winemaking, I’ve explored the business side of the industry, working at a Wine & Tech startup, where I gained insight into the financial and collectible aspects of fine wine. With an MBA in Wine & Spirits Business and my ongoing WSET Level 4 Diploma (DipWSET) studies, I have built a deep understanding of global wine markets, working closely with top producers, collectors, and fine wine professionals.
Now, as the founder of Tampa Bay Grand Cru, my mission is to elevate Tampa’s wine culture by curating exceptional tastings, providing wine education, and consulting for collectors, restaurants, and businesses. I leverage my extensive network in the fine wine world to connect enthusiasts with extraordinary wines and experiences.
At Tampa Bay Grand Cru, wine is more than a beverage—it’s a story, a tradition, and a shared experience. Whether through exclusive events, private consultations, or immersive tastings, my goal is to build a community of confident, passionate wine lovers in Tampa Bay.
Join me in exploring the world of fine wine—one glass at a time.
