It should be noted that Schnebly Redland's Winery is a favorite of the Travel Channel, who absolutely loves the fact that they are a "Muscadine-free" winery that throws out the grapes, growing only exotic fruits, such as mango, lychee, avocado and passion fruit for their homegrown Port wines. This is the same reason so many in the state of Florida travel to Homestead's Schnebly Redland's Winery. The tropical fruit wines are amazing, and the tours are fun. The winery is noted as an outdoor arena for entertainment and excitement. Their entertainment is best served paired with a great Port wine and friends at your side!
