WELCOME
TO FLORIDA'S MOST UNIQUE WINERY
AND TASTING ADVENTURE!
Key Lime, Mango, Pink Grapefruit plus 30 other fine
Tropical, Citrus and Berry Wines
Our winery, Florida Orange Groves Winery, is a family
owned
Florida Farm Winery that
had it's beginnings in shipping and packing fresh citrus in
the early 1970's in St. Petersburg, Florida. Our
location eventually grew to include retail sales of fresh squeezed
juice and a gift shop.
Armed with
determination and a dream reminiscent of many Florida
pioneers, our family started development of our unique wines
in 1991. Realizing the importance of striving for exceptional
quality, our
Florida winery opened its
doors in September of 1997 - only after the secrets of making
exceptional wine from fruit other than
grapes had been discovered. Producing Florida's only ultra-premium
tropical, citrus and berry wines, this
FL wine distributor and
authentic Florida Farm Winery is proud to say that our
tropical, berry and
citrus wines are the only
Florida wines allowed to
display the Florida Department of Citrus' official mark of
superior quality - the Florida Sunshine Tree. They are also
the only Florida wine ever allowed at Disney’s Epcot International
Food and Wine Festival held each year beginning in October.
We are licensed
as
wine manufacturers,
wine distributors, and as
retailers of unique, culturally significant Florida
fine wine and premium
wine products. We currently produce 33 different varieties of
wine. All of our premium specialty tropical, berry and citrus
wines are made 100% from the juice indicated on the label. These
are not fusion or blended grape wines, but 100% pure tropical fruit
wines. It can take upwards of nine pounds of fruit to give us
enough juice for just one bottle of our
Mango Mamma, mango wine,
Orange Sunshine wine,
Grapefruit wine or
Tangerine wine. Using a
special process of fermentation, aging and bottling we produce
Florida’s only true to the flavor wines. Each individual
variety of our wine tastes like the juice that it is made from. So,
if you like mangoes, you will love our mango wine! If you like red
raspberries, you will love our Eleganta (red raspberry) wine. If
you ........... well, you get the idea.
As Pinellas
County's first and only tropical, berry and citrus winery we
were recently the subject of an article in the St. Petersburg Times
newspaper. Food critic Mr. Chris Sherman gave the winery and its
products glowing reviews and stated that he wanted to "share the
news of the breakthrough in fruit wine quality."
Our family
winery is open for tasting and tours Monday through Saturday
from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Sunday hours are from 12:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
Tours are at 11 AM, 1,2, and 3 PM. The winery is closed on
all major holidays. Finally, wine that tastes good!
