Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Florida Orange Groves Winery different from a traditional winery?
Instead of grape-based wines, they produce wines made from Florida citrus, tropical fruits, and other locally grown ingredients. It's a style of winemaking that reflects Florida's actual climate and agricultural heritage rather than importing a European model.
Are the wines sweet or dry?
The lineup covers a wide range, from dry citrus wines to sweeter tropical options, so there's something for most palates. The tasting format lets you work through several styles before committing to a bottle.
Can I visit as a walk-in or do I need a reservation?
Walk-ins are generally welcome for tastings, but it's always smart to call ahead at (727) 347-4025 if you're coming with a group. Weekend visits can get busy, especially during peak tourist season.
Can I ship wine home if I'm visiting from out of state?
Shipping options are available and it's one of the more popular ways guests bring the Florida wine experience home with them. Check with staff on current shipping availability to your specific state, as regulations vary.
Is this a good stop for someone who doesn't typically drink wine?
Yes, the fruit-forward and often sweeter profile of these wines makes them more approachable for people who find traditional wines too dry or complex. It's a low-barrier entry point to wine tasting that tends to surprise first-timers.
Do they offer any wine education or tours of the production facility?
Staff are knowledgeable about the winemaking process and happy to explain how fruit wines are made during the tasting experience. Ask about any scheduled tours or educational sessions when you call or arrive.
