tootsie7 Posted January 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking for a wine store near the port before we board the ship with a decent selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Looking for a wine store near the port before we board the ship with a decent selection. There's an ABC and Publix a couple of miles down Atlantic Ave. If you want an even larger selection, there's a Total Wine in Viera, but that will be about 20-30 minutes away.

pstone1 Posted January 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you are traveling east on 528, take the first Merritt Island exit (SR 3 Courtenay Pkwy) and head south. About a mile or so down the road on your left, you'll find Island Liquors in a Publix grocery store plaza. The Publix also sells wine. Another half mile south and you'll find a Target and Walgreens on your right. Plenty of places to buy wine and not have to deal with beach traffic on cruise turnaround day!

Rare island lady Posted January 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Closer to the port, as Bob mentioned, is the Publix grocery store and ABC Fine Wine and Liquor store. ABC will have a larger selection, better pricing, and is closer. On A1A (Atlantic Avenue) from the port, go south about 2-3 miles and you will see the ABC store on your left side (east side). Publix is down another mile and will be on your right. Edited January 16, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillB48 Posted January 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The ABC store mentioned would have a bit more selection than Publix, but Publix has a pretty nice selection. There is a Publix right off of 528 (exit 45 Clearlake Rd) before you get to Merritt Island... very easy on and off 528. If you want to map it... 2301 FL-524 #150, Cocoa, FL 32926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reminding me about that option, sounds pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted January 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Don't forget Total Wine in Viera. Awesome selection and best prices, and just off I95. I think the 3rd and 4th exit South of 528. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjtt Posted January 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We are staying at Best Western in Cocoa Beach. Is the ABC wine store or Publix close enough to walk to? Or should we get a taxi or Uber to go? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should we get a taxi or Uber to go? :cool: The ABC Liqour store is about 1/4 mile (four blocks or so) north of the Best Western on the same side of the street. I'm not sure if there is a sidewalk the entire stretch so take care if you decide to walk. There is also a Publix directly across the street from the Best Western in case you want to pick up some last minute snacks or water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty good about having it boxed and ready for you to pick up also. Enjoy your cruise....and your wine!! :D Edited January 17, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have fresh fish daily as well as other seafood and non seafood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
