What to do and see in Florida, United States: The Best Wineries & Vineyards

December 22, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Fun experience because of the two ladies working there who made it fun! Wine tasting is free. Wines are fruity, some sweet, some dry, and most made from Florida fruit. My GF and I walked out with 6 bottles of wine and a few other items from the store inside the winery. My favorites were their two top sellers ... The Hurricane Class 5 Sangria and the Key Lime wine. They do ship to you if you're flying and can't take in your luggage.

Phenomenal experience! Jackie was so great and she answered all of our questions. The wines were surprisingly great for a small winery (only 3 employees!) this is definitely a must do if you visit Clearwater. Was truly an enjoyable visit and we would do this again in a heartbeat.

One of our favorite stops on the trolley circuit. We arrived just in time to start a free tour – watch a movie of the history and then a tour of the wine making process there from grapes to bottling to distribution. Then to the wine tasting where our hostess gave us indepth and informative lessons and wonderful stories about the different wines they offer – great wines and fun time by all! We would like to go back next visit to check out the rooftop deck restaurant to enjoy the live entertainment and wines. Of course, had to buy a few bottles to bring home. Make this a must stop – enjoy!

Exceeded expectations in every way. The staff were lovely - fun, professional, and made sure everyone had fun and stayed safe, especially important during these weird Covid times. We went for a tasting, and I was blown away by the different varieties and flavors of wine. I have a slight sensitivity to grapes, so this was an answer to my wine prayers. We tried the signature key lime wine, pineapple, blueberry, marion berry, raspberry, orange, as well as a few slushies and sparkling wines. All were delicious. For some of the berry flavors, they have sweet and dry varieties. If you don't like sweet wine, there is plenty to love here. They were so good, that we created a box to ship back home. The gentleman that helped us gave us free shipping with our multi-bottle order. He made sure to ship when we indicated so it would arrive after we got back home. They were packed perfectly, and I was thrilled when they arrived. I can't wait to share with friends. They also offer tours, but we just did the tasting. We spoke with another couple that just finished the tour and they said it was great. They also have a nice array of gifts, many of them wine-themed. They will also make up a batch of wine slushies for you to take to the beach! They are not too alcohol-heavy either, just perfect. They also had cans of wine, kinda wish I had invested in some. :) I will 1000% be ordering from them again, and visiting again when I can. This was a top highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

I've visited this winery many times for purchases and Friday get togethers. Always greeted with a warm friendly smile. Many great tasting wines. Also, they don't charge to taste. A major plus in my book. The Friday night on the veranda is a great time to sit and enjoy a glass of wine with friends.

Lindy was the hostess for our taste-testing. She was friendly, outgoing, and extremely knowledgeable. She recommended that we taste all of their wines and we did (glad we just ate!) We had planned to buy 1 bottle but purchased four. Will definitely come back.
