USA. Airmall has opened a Vino Volo wine bar at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, giving travellers the opportunity to try specially selected wines from around the world.
Adjacent to gate B2, the concept is described as a “cosy wine lounge, restaurant, tasting bar and boutique wine shop under one roof”.
“These days, people are often looking for a quiet place that offers a break from the hectic pace associated with travelling,” said Airmall Cleveland Vice President Tina LaForte.
“At Airmall, we’re excited that Vino Volo is joining the line-up of an already award-winning concessions programme at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Wine lovers are sure to appreciate Vino Volo’s extensive selection of wines from around the world.”

Founded in 2005, Vino Volo aims to make the wine tasting experience “approachable and educational”, with guests able to taste hand-selected wines from around the world by the glass, in tasting flights, or by the bottle to either take home or have shipped.
Its food menu offers small plates to pair with wines, such as smoked salmon rolls and a brie and prosciutto sandwich.
Vino Volo Founder and CEO Doug Tomlinson said: “Discovering unique, often hard-to-find wines is our passion, and we look forward to introducing our guests to great global and local wine regions, including the Ohio River Valley.”
The opening of the Cleveland wine bar brings the total number of Vino Volo locations to 28, across 19 airports in North America and one city store in Bethesda.
In May it opened in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport and, later this year, another outlet will open at Port Columbus Airport.
