When Spanish explorers came to Florida 400 years ago they found native grapevines. Using Old World traditions, they converted the muscadine into the first American wine.

Since that time, Florida researchers have created a wider variety of wine grapes that flourish in the state's subtropical climate and are well-suited to its soils.

Florida wineries and vineyards are scattered throughout the state, with harvest times ranging from May to September.

Visitors can stroll through a vineyard, view a harvest, the winemaking, corking, bottling and labeling processes, and sample varieties of delicious Florida wines. Learn More
