Around Town - Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards

Pin It Back in July, a friend and I went and toured the Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards, located at 19239 US 27 North, Clermont, FL  34715.  On the day that we visited, there was free blues music out on the lawn.  Here are a few pictures from that afternoon.  Enjoy!

The front of the winery


Some shots of the vineyards






Some of the people out enjoying the live music



A very cool carved door


A potted plant.....whose vines and leaves make for an interesting ceiling


Some antique wine making supplies





Each barrel served as a tasting table for a different type of wine




This machine is used to shake the grapes off the vine


Florida is so humid that they can't make wine in oak barrels...

...instead they used large stainless steel vats


An amusing mouse pad available at the store


Corks in a cork cage




The tour is free and takes about 45 minutes and is extremely informative and educational.  It also includes free tasting samples of 8-12 different wines!  I highly recommend spending an afternoon there!
