Florida Orange Groves and Winery

The Florida Orange Groves and Winery is located in St. Petersburg, Florida. It does its best to incorporate the spirit of the Sunshine State into each of its wines. The winery was begun by the Shook family in 1991. The winery did not open its doors until 1997, after six years of discovering how to make the best wine from the fruit and grapes of the area. The winery produces the state's only ultra-premium tropical, berry and citrus wines. Theirs is the only wine allow at Disney's Epcot International Food and Wine Festival each year. The winery is a licensed manufacturer, distributor and retailer of wine. They feature 37 wines in their collection. Each is made from the pure juice of the fruit indicated on the label, meaning they are not fusion wines or blended with grapes. This requires up to nine pounds of fruit per bottle of wine. A special process of fermentation is used and then the wines are aged and bottled, creating a unique fruit wine. If you enjoy the taste of a specific fruit, you are likely to enjoy the taste of the wine. Their selection of wines includes champagnes, citrus wines, specialty wines, berry and stone fruit wines, vegetable wines, port, grape wines and wine smoothie mixes.
