musicmantrs Posted February 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hello All, We're booked on the Magic in September for our Honeymoon and I personally love Florida (will live there and almost have my fiance convinced). We were in St. Augustine for one of our three trips to Florida last year and discovered Florida Fruit Wines and have been keeping them in business ever since. I saw that they have a Key West Winery there... is there a tour or anything exciting to do or is it just a shop with wine tastings? This question may need to go on another board but I'll try it here: Also, if we bought wine there, would we be able to bring it back onto the ship and back in Galveston or would it apply to our limit of what we can bring back to the US? Thanks in Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted February 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It is just a store with tastings, sorry. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_krynicki Posted February 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2013 You can buy bottles of wine at the Key West Winery ---> http://www.thekeywestwinery.com/ ...and if the number of bottles is a concern, you can always have them shipped home. (I think all of their wine is , er, ah, 2nd rate) Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeGone Posted February 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's not really a winery and their "wines" are not the traditional "made with grapes" kind of wine. It's pineapple, mango, coconut, lychee, etc. As a confirmed wino, I cannot recommend any of their "wines". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezingInMichigan Posted February 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2013 We were there in October and I agree... definitely not high quality wine. However, they're tasty, fun, and a little out there... typical Key West. We purchases several "sippy bag" sized servings... an excellent picnic addition to an adult lunch! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_krynicki Posted February 27, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Two good places to sit on a porch right on Duval and sip a glass or two of wine are Grand Vin ---> http://www.coolkeywest.com/bars/grand-vin/ and the Cork & Stogie ---> http://www.corkandstogie.com/ Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeofus Posted March 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2013 They are tasty - fun wines. I had a cranberry wine and it was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjackso8 Posted April 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I love their watermelon wine! Agreed, it's not the best quality, and it's a bit pricey, but it's a fun souvenir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozebabe Posted April 8, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I own wine shops in Ohio and we used to carry Big Pecker red & white. Mostly we carried it JUST for the label and name. It was only $9.99 here. Down there its $24.99. But I am soooo curious about the tomato wine...HMMMM Edited April 8, 2013 by Boozebabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinykygal Posted April 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I purchased wine from there several years ago and brought back to the ship and did not attempt,to hide it. It was not confiscated and to this day I wonder how I managed it. What do you think happened to allow me to take it to our stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
