We don’t have a lot of festivals in the summer in Florida (most events will choose winter or springtime when temperatures are mild). It turns out that grapes are harvested in the summertime, so you can actually find a few fabulous wine festivals happening around Florida.
You might have seen Lakeridge wines in your local supermarket, but you might not have realized they were produced right here in Florida. This beautiful vineyard is set on more than 80 acres of rolling hills in Central Florida. On August 19th and 20th, you can enjoy live music, grape stomping, and wine tours and tastings, for only $3 per adult (kids 12 and under free).
This exciting festival is spread out over three days from September 8th through the 10th. There are several different events, including delicious meals, outdoor wine fights, dancing, and a grand tasting. Best of all, every dollar goes to local charities.
This year's festival will take place at the St. Augustine Shipyard, located at 117 Dockside Drive.
