A little winery exploration


Chautauqua Vineyards
364 Hugh Adams Rd. DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435
(850) 892-5887


Three Oaks Winery
3348 Highway 79Vernon, FL 32462
(850) 535-9463‎

Technically Chautauqua is also a winery, seem like in Florida, they do not allow the public to go inside the vineyards, they have a small patch of sample just for display and the vineyards are located away from the wineries.
Chautauqua produces some rather special wines such as blueberry, black berries and vanilla/chocolate port.
Three Oaks Winery is very quaint, looks like a Hansel and Gretel's setting, in the middle of the forest. It is operated by a sweet old couple, in my opinion, their wines are more delicious but of limited varieties.
Best of all, the tasting sessions are usually free over this side of the States.
