What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Lake Ridge Winery for its generous free wine tastings and lively weekend atmosphere with live music and food trucks. Many appreciate it as an affordable and enjoyable day trip from Orlando, though some note the wines have a distinctive taste that might not appeal to everyone. The scenic vineyard setting and friendly staff also receive positive mentions.
"Beautiful hilltop winery. We attended the outdoor concert/ food under the trees. There were plenty of large picnic tables under the pavilion and also out in the open. The trees covered all of the grounds where the concert was held, so no worries about sun exposure. Many people brought chairs and blankets to lay out. The food was alright, not such a variety. About 4 items to choose from that came with either salad,rice, or fries. At a price of $20 a plate, i didn't find it worth it. Next time, we'll eat somewhere else then go just for the music. The store was beautifully set with many different varieties of wine and cheese. They also have a few souvenirs. If you check the website, you could see the days and times of the winery tours, which I highly recommend"

"Such a great time visiting the sister to San Sebastian Winery!!! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The winery is awesome to tour and get samples leading to the gift shop. The gift shop has so much to offer. You then head outside and they have a whole setup outside. They serve food and wine to chill with while listening to live music on their stage. There are picnic tables and they allow you to bring your own chairs to sit and chill with. All this while being able to check out the vineyard in the back. It's a pretty decent size vineyard to look at for sure. Well worth the visit!!!"

"We booked the private vip wine tasting experience and it was totally worth it! Thomas was a great host as well! This place is beautiful and the wine is tasty!!
If I could suggest one thing. To make the tasting longer so we didn’t have to basically chug the wine. It would have been nice to sit and talk and enjoy the sips."
