Lakeridge Winery is one of the hidden gems in the Orlando area. People can visit and take tours of the vineyard, as well as sample their wines.

This weekend, is one of the best reasons to visit the winery. It’s time for the annual Harvest Grape Stomp festival.

There will be grape stomping competitions – yes, in the barrels – with prizes for the best efforts. Kids of all ages have fun doing this.

There will also be live music both days. On Saturday, enjoy The Groovemasters and Robert Harris (both solo and with group). Sunday gets bluesy with The Nightly Blues Band and Beautiful Bobby Blackmon & the B3 Blues Band.

There will be food and drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) for purchase. You can also do the vineyard tour.

Event hours are 10am-5pm on August 18, and 11am-5pm on August 19. Cost is $2 per person and all ages are welcome.

Lakeridge Wineryis located at 19239 US 27 North in Clermont, FL.  Phone is 800-768-9463.

Lakeridge Winery to Host Annual Grape Stomp in August

- Michelle Snow

One of my favorite places to spend a weekend afternoon is Lakeridge Winery, especially late summer, during harvest season.

Why? Because that’s when they hold their annual grape stomp event. This year’s stomp is scheduled for the weekend of August 20 and 21, 2011.

In addition to barrels of grapes to stomp, the winery will have live music, food and drink for purchase, and free tours and samples (for those 21 and older).

All this for a $2 donation that benefits the South Lake Boys & Girls Club. Hours are 10am-5pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday.

This is a fun thing to do with the entire family, so I hope the weather is great that weekend.

Lakeridge Winery is located at 19239 U.S. 27 North, Clermont, Florida 34715. Phone is 800-768-WINE.
