Vineyard in Florida
My friends and I found this family owned business in east manatee county (the county just north of Sarasota) The owners, Rosa and her husband, Antonio moved to the area from Sicily. The winery has its own building for fermenting and bottling and another for tasting and selling the wine. We found the tour interesting and the wine really good. In early August to September visitors can go and pick the grapes off the vine, which sounds like fun!
The couple have earned 25 awards in the commercial international wine competition. Their wine has earned the gold, silver and bronze metals.
Touring the vineyards gave me a new appreciation for wine. I knew there was some preparation but not the extent that I saw when I toured the winery. It's quite impressive to say the least.
It's a fun and different way to spend a day.
If you are ever in the area, Rosa Fiorelli winery is a must see!!
