Winemaking and vineyards are hardly the first things that come to mind when you think of Florida.
But, all throughout the Sunshine State you can find fabulous wine festivals, dedicated winemakers and distinguished wineries putting together masterpiece offerings made of everything from oranges to grapefruit. And, while novelty wines often capture our attention, the great state of Florida holds its own in the mainstream of winemaking, as well.
In the good spirit of great wines, the Holiday Season gets in gear at Lakeridge Winery Nov. 13, 14 and 15 when the Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards in Clermont hosts its annual open house. For nearly two decades, Lakeridge has been bringing the best in Florida vintner science to Central Florida with this three-day outdoor festival that includes art, food and fun holiday music.
And, while Lakeridge Winery is especially nice at holiday time, you can always plan on having a great time at this teaching vineyard where tours are offered every day of the week. During your visit to Lakeridge, take the time to get some expert insight on the winemaking process. Lakeridge is an industry leading pioneer in the development of table and sparkling wines made from muscadine and hybrid grapes.
Located just outside Orlando, Lakeridge is set on more than 100 acres of Clermont Countryside. This little side trip is a really great way to steal away with some adult-focused fun when enjoying a family theme park vacation. |
