Florida: America's Original Wine Country

Florida holds a unique place in American history — the area just outside Jacksonville is recognized as the birthplace of U.S. winemaking, a legacy stretching back to the earliest days of European settlement. That tradition continues today through a thriving community of certified farm wineries. Florida also surprises many spirits enthusiasts: with 83 craft distilling locations, the state boasts more craft distilleries than either Kentucky or Tennessee.
