Fiorelli Winery & Vineyard
|
|
Fiorelli Winery & Vineyard is a family-owned and operated business located just south of Lake Manatee in the rolling hills of eastern Manatee County. Rosa and her husband Antonio moved to this area from Casteldaccia, Sicily, and were struck by the similarities here to their native land. Soon there were five rows of bunch grapes in the backyard with the garden, and a corner of the garage closed off for making wine.
The vines were only the beginning! As more grapes became available, Rosa and Antonio expanded their winemaking activities as well. Today the Winery has its own building for fermenting and bottling, and a separate building for tasting and sales.
We have recently expanded to 10 acres of vineyard and winery. Mature grapevines allow for u-pick fresh grapes during the summer months: green or red bunch grapes in late June, and bronze or black muscadine grapes in early August to September.
