Travelers will all types of interests, hobbies, and passions can find exactly what they’re looking to enjoy on vacation and likely more when they set their sights on a trip to Orlando. This vibrant and exciting city is loved for its theme parks, gardens, bustling downtown scene, and dining and shopping to top it all off in style.

Every year, the vineyard hosts an annual Harvest Festival which is a great addition to any Orlando itinerary. This highly-anticipated event is held each summer and brings locals and visitors alike together in the name of fun. The festival is a three-day event most years and is ideal for solo visitors, couples, or family and friend groups too. It’s $10 a person to enjoy the festival fun and those under 12 can participate for free.
What to Expect When You Visit
The annual Harvest Festival is fun for guests, but it’s also a great opportunity for local artisans and crafters. Each year, the festival invites over 60 vendors to display their wares on-site where guests can browse and purchase until their heart’s content. In addition to the vendor stands, guests will have access to great food, live musical entertainment and of course, plenty of opportunities to savor the flavors the winery serves up. A highlight of this event is definitely the grape stomping that happens in honor of authentic wine-making traditions! If you have an amazing time, don’t forget to leave $2 at the door as a donation to the Hospice Foundation.
