Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards opened its doors in February 1989 in Clermont, Florida and sits on a 127-acre estate in gently rolling countryside some 25 miles west of downtown Orlando. This area was once the center of the State's grape industry. After years of phenomenal growth, Lakeridge ranks as Florida's largest premium winery, and remains a pioneer in the development of premium and sparkling wines from the native Muscadine grape varieties Noble, Carlos and Welder, as well as Vinifera varieties to include Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
More than 160,000 people are expected to visit the winery annually, enjoying its extensive tasting room, festivals and gift shop. Lakeridge wines are sold under the Lakeridge and Lakeridge Reserve brands at the winery and at major supermarkets and wine shops throughout Florida. Together, these labels have won more than 13,000 awards for excellence in winemaking.
