When we think of wine country, Miami isn’t exactly known for rolling hills of traditional grapevines like Napa or Sonoma. But what it does offer is a totally unique oasis where locals can stroll lush grounds while enjoying a cool glass of vino. Tropical vino, that is.
Featuring natural coral waterfalls, koi fish and plenty of sun-drenched spots to lounge around, Schnebly Redland’s Winery is an idyllic spot in which to escape the city bustle for a day. As the southernmost winery in the U.S., this garden-turned-winery in the Redland skips the traditional grapes and specializes in exotic tropical fruit wines. We’re talking everything from mango to guava, passion fruit and coconut.
They even have an avocado wine, because who can live without avocado everything nowadays?
Tours and tastings
When visiting this gorgeous estate, you have plenty of options. Book a winery tour to stroll through the grounds, dive into the Schnebly family history and get a behind-the-scenes look at their original wine-making process.
If you’re not up for a tour, you can still sign up for a tasting and wander the scenery at your own pace while enjoying live music. It also shares its sprawling space with Miami Brewing Company, which makes it a perfect combination for couples or friend groups where someone might prefer a craft beer over mango wine!
Looking for a bite to eat? Named The Redlander, there’s a farm-to-table restaurant on site to pair your wine of choice with dishes like avocado dippers, barbecue platters and fresh grilled seafood. Reservations are required for lunch, dinner and brunch, and can be booked directly on Schnebly’s website.
Bringing the vibes home
When inevitably discovering your new favorite tropical wine, you can grab a few extra bottles to go from their shop, of course! And when your stash eventually runs out, you can easily restock thanks to their online store.
You can find Schnebly’s at 30205 SW 217th Ave, Homestead, FL 33030.
