Schnebly Redland's is doing something you won't find anywhere else in the country. They're making wine from tropical fruits grown right here in South Florida: lychee, avocado, coconut, passion fruit, carambola. The lychee wine alone is worth the trip. If you like a buttery chardonnay, the AvoVino will genuinely surprise you.
The tasting room experience is the main event. Staff here know their stuff and seem to actually enjoy talking you through each pour. It's relaxed, educational, and fun without being stuffy. Groups tend to have a great time. The knowledgeable guides make it easy whether you're a wine person or just curious.
Outside, the grounds open up into a waterfall and tropical garden setting that feels a world away from the strip malls on US-1. Live music runs on weekends, and there's a full restaurant and brewery on site too. The lobster and shrimp pasta gets mentioned a lot. The pork chunks appetizer is worth ordering. Brunch, lunch, and dinner are all on the table.
This is a working farm, a winery, a brewery, a restaurant, and an event venue all rolled into one property. It's about 10 minutes from the main entrance to Everglades National Park, which makes it an easy stop before or after a day in the park. Reservations are smart on weekends. Free parking on site.
