BILOXI, Miss. - Beau Rivage’s three fine dining restaurants BR Prime, Stalla and Jia, have all been honored for their outstanding wine programs in Wine Spectator’s 2023 Restaurant Awards, which celebrate the world’s best restaurants for wine.

“In a time of technological innovation, restaurants offer the human experience diners are hungry for—listening to their customers and offering personalized experience,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “This annual issue celebrates the places where wine is at the top of that conversation. I’m pleased to congratulate all 3,505 restaurants for their dedication to wine and wine-loving diners.”

It illustrates our commitment to creating a program that is ever-changing to meet the tastes of our guests. For us, it’s all about creating unforgettable dining experiences.”
