In less than nine months since opening, Quicksand has become not just a welcoming and luxurious natural wine bar but a third space for many, led by Heather LaVine of Golden Hour and her dedicated team. Thoughtfully designed and offering hundreds of wines, LaVine’s bar features an inviting patio with tables large enough for game nights and cozy enough for dogs to nap underneath. LaVine collaborates with some of Orlando’s best food and beverage creatives, hosting pop-ups and curating regular nights of music and food, including collaborations with Kaya and EdoBoy. Come for a glass, and you’ll end up staying awhile — after all, it is Quicksand.
