The Art of Pour Decisions on Fort Myers Beach

Garret Kraska - The Wine Guy • May 1, 2026

A New Pour on Fort Myers Beach


Featuring Garrett Kraska, The Wine Guy


Fort Myers Beach is coming alive again.


You can feel it when you’re out—the energy, the connection, the sunsets that turn into “just one more stop,” and the growing number of reasons to stay out a little longer.  Now, there’s a new experience being poured into that rhythm.

Garrett Kraska, better known as The Wine Guy, is bringing approachable, curated wine experiences to Fort Myers Beach through his company, The Art of Pour Decisions.


And don’t worry—this is not stuffy wine talk.


Garrett’s tastings are designed to be fun, social, and easy to enjoy whether you know the difference between Barolo and boxed wine… or you just know what you like.


🍇 Bringing Elevated Wine Experiences to FMB


If you’ve ever sat on the beach with a glass of wine and thought, “I wish I knew more about what I’m drinking…”  This is for you.  Through The Art of Pour Decisions, Garrett offers wine experiences that are engaging, educational, and most importantly—fun.  No pretension. No pressure. Just great wine and a better understanding of what’s in your glass.


🌴 Why Fort Myers Beach


Fort Myers Beach isn’t just rebuilding—it’s evolving.  There’s a growing demand for experiences that are interactive, social, and memorable—something beyond the typical night out.  Wine fits perfectly into that space. 


It brings people together. It sparks conversation. It elevates the moment.


🍷 What to Expect


  • Wine Tasting 101 – Learn how to taste, identify, and enjoy wine with confidence
  • Italian Wine Experiences – From Barolo to Amarone, perfect for steakhouse-style pairings
  • Seasonal & Themed Tastings – Rosé features, regional deep dives, and holiday events
  • Private Events & Pop-Ups – Hosted at homes, restaurants, or beachside settings


Each experience is designed to feel elevated—but never intimidating.


🥂 Built for the Island Lifestyle


Fort Myers Beach is about slowing down and enjoying the moment—and wine naturally complements that lifestyle.

Picture a sunset, a perfectly paired glass, and a relaxed, social atmosphere where you’re learning without even realizing it.


That’s the experience Garrett brings to the island.


🌊 More Than Wine—It’s an Experience


This isn’t just about what’s in the glass.  It’s about the conversations, the connections, and the memories created around it.  Because Fort Myers Beach doesn’t need more ordinary nights.  It needs better ones.
