When we travel we love to stop at Florida wineries to sample and purchase their wines. Of course the closest winery to Tallahassee is the Monticello Winery but when we travel we like to use this site to find wineries along the way. There are also green road signs with grapes on them to help you find the wineries. We have come across a few surprises that way.
When we travel to Tampa to visit relatives we like to stop by the Dakotah Winery in Chiefland.
They have a very pretty facility
The inside has a gift shop and a wine tasting bar. They have free tastings of their wines and muscadine grape juice. Some of their wines are from grape juice shipped in from California but they also make muscadine wines that are from local grapes as well as a blueberry wine that also often comes from a local source. If buying wines from locally grown sources is important to you, be sure to ask questions during the tasting. We bought a bottle of their Carlos, their Blush and their Noble wine and an extra bottle as a hostess gift.
The back patio overshadows a koi pond where the kids can feed the fish and grapes hang overhead
There is also an adorable pavilion with tables
If you are ever traveling through Chiefland on Highway 19 be sure to stop by!
I'll halve to keep this in mind!
