Basically this is an ACTUAL winery that for all but 4 Florida wines, they import the ingredients to make the wine here.Of the 4 Florida wines, the ORWI (orange wine) was actually the best with the grapefruit wine (GRAWI) coming in 2nd. Both delightful for refreshing, lightly sweet wines. Not your typical sweet wines you would expect. Remember, this is a "Florida" wine and therefore you must set your expectations but we wanted to try a real local product and were really happy when we did.They have free tastings of the product so you can sample it first and the service was excellent.
I loved this place. One of the highlights of my entire trip. Margaret was our wine tasting person and she was such a doll. We tried every wine on their menu (for free) and a few that weren't. They were good (not your 'normal' wine, but still delicious). The wine slushy I had after the tastings was seriously amazing. If I ever go back to Florida, I'll definitely be back.
Love, love, love, wish I was back there!Their wine slushies are awesome, as is the wine ice-cream!Neat little store with lots of fun gifts, and all reasonably priced.
Didn't really look at the wines but bought lots of hot sauces! If you are a fan of hot sauce you must visit here as the choices are staggering
This place is a shop located at John's Pass (not an actual winery facility) that sells their own fruit wines and Florida souvenirs, hot sauces, cigars, eclectic fun gifts, etc. There is a wine bar inside though where you can taste their wines (free, but tips accepted) before you purchase and also buy frozen wine drinks (and beer I believe) to enjoy at the Adirondack chairs and tables outside.
I'm not actually a big fan of wine but this place is great. There are some unique choices of wine and beer. We've been to this area twice in the last year and always stop in for a couple of bottles to take home.
Just be aware that the tour of the winery is via a video. The winery is one very large wine-themed gift shop. The wine tasting is free and you get some wines that they choose and a few that you can choose. They have a huge variety of tropical flavored and fruit flavored wines. They also provide you with a couple of sample of frozen drinks. I particularly loved the citrus flavored wines. They have these wines in a sweet and a dry version. Wine snobs might turn up their noses at the fruity wine, and especially at the wine individual servings in a juice box. Wines are not too expensive. Shipping wine is costly, The person serving the wine was friendly and helpful. She also helped us pick out some places to eat on the beach.
Wife and daughter enjoyed the wine tasting and bought 3 bottles to take home. Great tasting wine at reasonable price. On the strip of shops in Johns Pass. Sit on patio and enjoy a glass of wine.
My husband and I have always loved wine, especially sweet wines. This place has such a big variety of flavored sweet wines! The Strawberry Riesling is my favorite. You can get 3 bottles for $33. They also have wine ice cream (sounds gross but its delicious!) and drinks that are kind if like daiquiris with wine in them. This was my favorite place at John's Pass!! Such a great discovery! The prices are fantastic!
My husband and I stumbled across this little winery and just decided to stroll in and boy are we glad we did ! Amazing little find and the man who helped us was wonderful and the wines were the best I've ever had by far ! We ended up leaving with three bottles !!! Check them out and try the banana wine ice cream !
