If you are looking for a little taste of the tropics Florida Orange Groves and Winery in Pasadena, FL is worth a visit. I’ve visted and tasted several of their citrus and berry based wines. According to the Florida Wineries guide they’ve won over 207 medals including eight best of show awards. Theirs are the only Florida wines allowed to display the Florida Department of Citrus official mark of superiority – The Florida Sunshine Tree.
Each of their wines is made 100% from the juice indicated on the label. When you visit the Florida Orange Groves and Winery you will have a chance to taste multiple fruit and citrus wines. One of my favorites surprised me, I loved their Festiberry cranberry wine, it’s a great choice for holiday meals or parties. Another favorite of mine was their White Gold white peach wine, which is light and sweet. I found humor in their Hurricane Class 5 wine title and especially enjoyed the flavor of this delightful white sangria. There are many choices of wine at the Florida Orange Groves and Winery. They offer a nice selection of dry wines, such their newest blueberry wine, Dry Florida Blueberry which fits like a Pinot Noir or a Cabernet. Another choice would be their Sinfully Noble, Muscadine dry.

The second room is filled with tropical and beachy items so visitors can find that perfect Florida gift.
