5 Florida Wineries Worth the Drive in Your Rental Car

You know what sounds like a perfect Florida day? Sunshine, good company, and a winery stop that turns into an accidental full-on adventure. You know what doesn’t sound perfect? Trying to squeeze everyone into multiple cars, juggling directions, and realizing halfway there that nobody thought about who’s driving back. That’s where Carl’s Van Rentals comes in. If you’re planning a winery day trip (or a weekend loop), renting a van keeps the group together, the logistics simple, and the vibe intact.

Here are five Florida wineries worth the drive.

1. Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards

If your crew loves classic winery energy, Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards is a great pick. They’re known for offering tours and tastings, making it easy to turn a visit into a full experience rather than just a quick stop.

2. San Sebastian Winery

San Sebastian Winery is perfect for the group that likes a little extra with their wine. You can do a tour and tasting, then keep the day going with the winery’s food-and-wine-bar style setup. It’s an easy way to make the outing feel like an event.

3. Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery

Want something different than the usual grape-forward lineup? Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery is known for tropical fruit wines and a seriously fun, vacation-y atmosphere. This is the stop that always gets talked about later.

4. Keel & Curley Winery

If your group likes local flavor, Keel & Curley Winery is famous for blueberry wine made from Florida-grown blueberries. It’s a unique twist and a solid option when you want a winery visit that feels very Florida.

5. Strong Tower Vineyard & Winery

This family-owned spot is a great, laid-back destination and has been recognized as a Florida Farm Winery. At Strong Tower Vineyard & Winery, you can expect a relaxed vineyard vibe that’s easy to enjoy without overplanning.
