    Came here back in April with my bf on one of our date nights. I love wine so I had been wanting to go to this place for a while. It is literally in the middle of nowhere out in the Redlands. It is also a pretty big place. We purchased the wine tasting & can I just say there wine is awesome! I especially liked the Cocovino & Sweet avocado one. We also had dinner. I had a pesto pasta dish that was very good. I regret not buying a bottle to go. I would definitely be back for another tasting and probably purchase some wine this time around.

    I absolutely LOVE this place. The atmosphere is so fun! The actual facility is so beautiful. The wine tasting was fun. My personal favorite was AvoVino which is like a Sauvignon Blanc. The bartender, Alex, was super nice. We also had dinner. We ordered the pre fixed menu for $40 each and it was good. Although the server service was great, my only suggestion would be to continue to train the servers on getting to know the menu better. I love when I get a server that is very passionate about what he/she is about to offer. I picked the roasted eggplant for appetizer, the lobster and shrimp waffles for entree, and the mango flan for desert.

    Coming here can be fun if you're stuck in Homestead with nothing to do. Not sure I'd ever drive here from somewhere else in South Florida. This place is a bit disorganized. Are you a brewery, a winery, a restaurant, a bar, all of the above? I've been here on more than one occasion and the staff is always pointing you in different directions and making everything more of a mission than it should be. This place is huge, but if you want a beer you must go outside to the "beer bar" in the heat where the taps aren't even producing cold drafts. Want some wine? Go back inside and wait at the awkward bar with no seats. Wait, don't go over there - that's where the restaurant is. And by that, they mean a few tables and chairs set up strangely in the waiting room/lobby area. Need to go to the bathroom? Go outside and around the corner. Want to go on a tour? Ask this guy, who will tell you to go to that lady, who will then give you a time when they're going to come screaming through the lobby like a lost kid at Disney World looking for it's family. Once you're finally on the tour, you better hope you haven't begun drinking, because you're going to be so bored that you may just crawl into a corner of the fridge and fall asleep. Talk about boring. The associates who lead the tours have absolutely zero personality, don't relate anything to real life at all and are just going through their mental powerpoint. It's like that really boring class in high school that you sit through because you don't have a choice but all you're thinking about is the bell ringing so you can get the hell out of there and eat lunch. The wine tasting is a total joke. They let you choose 5 wines, which sounds a lot more glamorous than it is. Really, the guy at the awkward bar pours maybe a tablespoon of wine in a huge tacky glass they let you keep, swishes it around and does it 5 times. Without rinsing the glass in between tastings. I'm no wine snob, but these are all fruity and tailored flavors and when you just refill from lychee to coconut to avocado, it all ends up tasting the same. Who does that?! Just buy a bottle at Walmart and take it home and enjoy it from your own patio. The Miami Brewing Company beers are all pretty good depending on what you're into, but again, pick it up at Total Wine and drink it wherever you want. Oh and the music is TOO LOUD! No one wants to hear your 90s playlist!!

    This isn't your traditional winery boasting of blends from diverse grapes. These wines are products of tropical fruit such as star fruit, coconut, guava, plum, coconut, and avocado to name a few. Thursday was my first visit to this winery, to a winery in general. I don't have many, if any expectations of what a winery should be, but this place exceeded anything that I could have imagined. It was beautiful. That's just my initial impression without doing the full tour. Stepping into the entrance you are immediately engulfed by a cocoon of calm. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the selection of music aiding to it. At the bar, I decided to try their wine tasting which includes your choice of 5 wines from the list provided. The tasting was $13 and you get to keep the wine glass with the Schnebly's logo as a souvenir... How cool is that?! Chrissy who was attending the bar was such a great spirit. She provided background information regarding each wine, even a few laughs. I also believe that if you return to do another tasting and have your glass from the previous visit, your tasting is half off. I certainly had a good time and can't wait to go back. When I do return, I plan to do the tour and possibly join in on the karaoke fun.

    I have visited Schnelby twice over the last year, yet have never done the actual tour - just the tasting. Both of my experiences at the winery were great. Most of the wines are actually very tasty, especially for someone with a sweet tooth who enjoys "fruity" wines. The tasting takes place at a wine bar indoors. They allow you to bring outside food (no beverages) with you, so that's a plus. My boyfriend and I brought some cheese and crackers to enjoy during our tasting, although they also sell some things to snack on there as well. After your tasting you're able to purchase a bottle of any of their wines to enjoy right away. My favorite of their wines is their Lychee and Guava. What I really enjoyed about this place is their outdoor area and ambiance. They have a large tiki hut area with lots of picnic tables and a stage for when live bands perform. There are also high-top cocktail table areas scattered around the property for you to sit away from the tiki party crowd, for a more intimate atmosphere. Both of the times I have gone (once was for Valentine's Day) there has been a live cover band called TreeHouse that was pretty great. They had everyone moving and dancing to all types of music - salsa, pop, merengue, bachata, spanish rock, etc.. If you're looking for a fun place to enjoy some wine and dance with friends and family or even a more intimidate date night - I would recommend Schnelby as an option which caters to both.

    Used a groupon for the wine tasting for our date night. Place was amazing! Wine was fresh and delicious. We got to try 5 different wines each and then got a full glass. We had dinner there- the salad I got was fresh crispy and tasteful with added snapper. The outside was decorated amazingly with lights at night and karaoke for Friday nights. Definitely recommend!!!

    Great stop while heading to the keys. They service is a little suspect and the wines were a little sweet for our taste but the ambiance and the beer more than make up for it. I went with a group of 4, 3 of us did the wine tasting and 1 did the beer. When we tried to pay we had a few questions on the different tastings and it seemed everyone we talked to just started working there and knew nothing about the different types of tastings! We finally talked to a manager and he was able to actually answer our very basic questions. The wines were all a little too sweet for our taste but if that is your thing you will love their wines. For the beer tastings you try about 4 beers and then you get a pint of your favorite one. And you get to keep the glass! We decided to taste outside in front of the building since we had a small dog with us (they aren't allowed inside our out back in the grounds). It was a very windy day and some of the small taste glasses flew over - not to worry though, when I went inside they were very friendly in pouring us many extra samples which was very nice of them. The woman at the beer counter even had me try several of the beer "blends" where she mixed some of what thy had in tap - truly a cool experience. We didn't try any of the food and we also got to keep wine glasses from the tasting which was cool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a break while driving to the keys.

    I love it here. I would suggest that you make a day trip of visiting this place. It's about an hours drive if you're coming from Broward like I was. Surprised to see a nearly empty parking lot on a Saturday morning. But by afternoon, it had filled up and there was a nice crowd gathered around. On entering Schnelby's you are welcomed with smiling faces and warm greetings. Wine tasting allows you to try 5 different wines. What got me was the unique flavors. Avocado wine, Guava, passion fruit, Mango, Lychee!!! It was a wine lovers haven. My favorite by far...the Avocado wine! Then the Lychee which was smooth and sweet. The passion fruit was nice and tart. There are tours of the winery if interested and a cafe just opened up. Overall a great experience. I say make a day of it cause by the time you're done with the tastings and dining, you'll just want to hangout in the beautiful patio area and listen to some live music. 5 stars!

    Being the "Yelp Daddy"-I must approve and recommend this place. First I didn't even know that Miami had a Winery! Second, the wine actually is creative, mild and flavorful-I don't even like wine but this place is "doin' it right!!!" The history of this place is rich with the challenges of opening a winery in Miami. The Atmosphere is quite beautiful and romantic-Nice breeze at night, well lite, a waterfall and a nice tropical feel. The owner was super nice and he gave us a personalized tour with many funny stories. Great place for a social event or even a wedding! **Note: Great place to take someone that you love-really romantic especially at night but make sure that you got a dope GPA system because it's also super dark and you might get lost and possibly abducted by aliens!

    I went today with some friends and surprise! !!! The closing time it a 5pm on Sunday. Which is ok , the reason I give 3 stars is because the hours of operation is not updated and we drove from Hialeah to get there thinking they were open

    The 40 minute tour was a great way to learn about this small winery. They only have about 10 employees and bottle everything by hand. We learned about the beer and wine making process along our tour. The tour and tasting is $15. You receive 5 samples for the tasting and you keep the wine glass! Bottles to purchase are $15-20. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The property is beautiful. You can buy bottles inside and then sit outside and drink them. You can bring your own snacks. At night there is a cover charge because of live entertainment. There is plenty of free parking in the attached lot. It is better to visit during the winter when it isn't hot out. It is a long drive from Broward, but a fun experience. All wines are made out of fruit....no grapes used here! My favorite was a wine made with coconut. It was very refreshing. Even the avocado wine was good!

  • James P.

    Excellent place. Their wine is outstanding, and made from very exotic fruits. Try the mango, guava, or passion fruit wines. You won't be disappointed!!! The restaurant is inside the main room and the quality of the food and service were perfect. We even met the owner who was a very nice gentleman and who obviously cares about his business. Though we couldn't stay for the live music, this is the perfect place to spend a fun evening. Highly recommended

  • Sam P.

    This is such a beautiful and fun place to visit! We try to bring our out of town guests here and we have not been disappointed yet! The beer is great, the wine is an experience. If you like sweet, fruit based wines, you will probably enjoy these. They are fun to taste regardless if your wine preferences. The food they have is really yummy, but a bit pricey. Beautiful landscaping, with waterfalls and tropical plants. They usually have live music on the weekends. The staff have always been very nice and knowledgeable. Ample parking!

  • Stephanie S.

    I have been twice, but haven't had the opportunity to do the tour. The wines are made from exotic fruits instead of grapes, which is quite interesting. It's in the middle of nowhere Homestead, so it's quiet and very beautiful. The cocovino is my favorite!! It is unique, but delicious and refreshing. The cat 2 and cat 3 red wines were pretty good, as well. There are a couple that aren't great, particularly the mango wine. Overall, it's something fun to do and very relaxing. I enjoy this place and have recommended it to friends.

    I can never find wines in stores that I like but this place has the most amazing flavors. The wine tasting is a must! The beers are not my favorite. I didn't like any of them but that's just me, some people love them. The environment is fun and they have live music Friday nights.

    One of the last things you think of when you think of Florida is wineries but, apparently we have quite a few. I went online and found a map with the location of all of them ( tryfloridawine.com/flori… ) I didn't think they would be like the ones in Napa & Sonoma, big fields of grapes and greenery, nor did I expect to find a variety of reds or whites, but was curious when I read that a lot of them are fruit wines. Now, I'm not a fan of any type of sweet drinks but still wanted to try them so, I visited my first Florida winery and loved it. Schnebly is a small place, with a big barrel bar in the middle where the tastings are conducted. You pay at the entrance, according to what kind of tasting you want. The basic, or more common one, seems to be the 5 wines tasting. Once you pay you make your way to the bar and pick the five you want. They have mango, avocado, guava, passion, mixed fruit ones, sparkling (these are in another tasting package), and more. My decision making was based on fruits I remember having as a kid with my grandparents. I had the following: Carambola (Star Fruit) - I've never been a real fan of the taste (not much to it) but have always liked the star shape and always found the name funny (I still do). Needless to say this one was just ok for me. It tasted almost like a Pinot Grigio, sweet. Nothing exciting for me. Sweet Avocado wine - this one is stinky but, don't let the nose turn you away from it. This wine has the buttery/ creaminess of an avocado and it does have a bit of an aftertaste. I think this one would be good with cheese. Guava - one of my favorite fruits growing up, especially when I picked them from my grandmother's backyard tree. The taste of this one is amazingly true to the fruit. It's smooth, refreshing, definitely one you can enjoy at any time. Category 2 Hurricane Red - this is one of those combination wines. This one is avocado and guava. You get the smell of the avocado wine, the color of the guava, and they add a little citrus. It was good but not enough to make me order it again, especially after loving the guava one so much. Passion Fruit - I saved the best for last... I was so excited to try this one. Another favorite fruit, again, from my grandmother's backyard. I remember eating them, drinking them in juice or shakes, having them in ice cream form or desserts. You can't go wrong with passion fruit, and this was no exception. This wine is perfection. It smells and tastes just like the fruit. It's a little tart and sweet, refreshing - better served chilled. I can drink this by the pool, or relaxing reading a book, or a nice day out (or in) with friends. I loved it so much, a bottle was bought. Great thing about Schnebly is that, as small as it may be, it still has a little green area in the back, with a beautiful small waterfall, with Koi fish, and other smaller fish, and plenty of tables and comfortable chairs for you to enjoy the wine, a beautiful day and good company. You can spend hours there and feel like you're on vacation, relaxing. I do wish we had a different server... ours wasn't too friendly, she sounded like a bored broken record just repeating what she was supposed to say about the wines but, good company, the wines and the beautiful outside will make you forget about it and not mind it. They also have a beer brewing section, I saw a banana one I really want to go back and taste. I love "finding" these little hidden treasures. We all need a break from our routine or everyday life from time to time and Schnebly is a perfect place for it.

    We purchased a groupon for the wine tasting and didn't know what to expect. It was about an hour drive south for us but it was so worth it. It was dusk when we arrived and the building with the lighting is so beautiful so I'm glad we went in the evening. We walked in to see the amazing woodwork on the winebar. It's amazing! We waited a few minutes for a spot on the bar and was greeted by a very pleasant sommelier. She had us choose 5 wines each and we loved almost all of them. All made with native Florida fruits like guava, mango, coconut and lychee plus avocado. The wines were mostly white and were very refreshing and delicious. Great to serve on a hot SoFlo day!!! They give you your favorite one in a glass you get to keep. Nice! We went outside for the beer tasting and it was very scenic with stained concrete floors, landscaping and an enormous tiki hut. Wow! My husband enjoyed the beers but favored the darker ones and again, they give you your favorite one in a glass to keep. It was a hot steamy night but there were fans everywhere. You also get a discount for your next visit and if you bring the glasses back. We then ate in the new restaurant The Redlander. I had previewed the menu in line and was looking forward to the ceviche but they weren't serving it so we had the guava wings which were amazing!! They are breaded with just the right balance of sweetness and heat. We also ordered the burger which we requested to be cooked medium rare was served rare so be careful how you order. The bun was a little stale but the fries were thin cut and very good. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves!!

    Ok.. I guess I might be the only one that thinks a winery should be all about... the wine. This place has such potential but fails on the most important criteria. First the good: BEAUTIFUL place. I went at night so it was all lit up and looking gorgeous. There were people all over, laying out and enjoying themselves. It's a huge place so I never felt crowded and trampled upon. The servers were not plentiful but the lines were not long either. If I came back it would be for the atmosphere. Now the bad: AWFUL wine. I am sorry. I know the owner takes a lot of pride in locally sourcing many of the products that go into the wine. BUT it all just tasted like candy and super sweet flat soda. There was not a dry wine in the bunch that we sampled. The most dry was the avocado we were told. It would give a Riesling a run for it's money on the sweeto-meter. The guava etc were so cloyingly sweet that they were undrinkable for me. Would make a hella good barbecue sauce though. The wine simply cannot stand up to any proper reds or whites. And that is a shame. Onto the beer. Not much better. I tried most of them there. They are all touched by Hop-itis. Not sure what is going on with American breweries that are so enamored with super hopping every beer. I am not a hops lover. When I order a brown ale or a wheat beer I expect hops to be way in the back of the palate somewhere. Not the case here. Both the Gator Tail and Shark Bait where hopped up on hops. This place is way out of the way... but could easily be worth the trip... If their product improves. As it stands I think I am one and done with Schneblys.

    Surprisingly enough, being born and raised in south Florida I had not been here until last weekend. Granted, I didn't like wine until a few years ago, so that would explain it. Anyway, came here for a friends bday, overall it was a good time. You have to pay just to get in and it's $12.50 per person on the weekends and $10 during the week (I believe is what they said). What does that cover? Not much, just the band that they hire to play on the weekend. Because then you have to go and pay for your wine samplers ($9.95 and you get to keep the glass) and/or beer samplers ($14.95 and you also get a glass). And if you get there early enough to do a tour of the winery/brewery that's another charge as well. So yes, I think the entrance fee is too much considering you know everyone is going to spend money on drinks and even food anyway. Granted if you buy their wine at Publix and bring a receipt showing proof of purchase they do let you in for free. Now, I love sweet wines such as Moscato, and White Zinfandel and when I asked the difference between the two wine sampler options they told me the dessert wines were sweeter and had more alcohol than the other, so you know which sampler I chose, yup, dessert wine. You get 4 of the dessert wines plus an option from their regular wines. The boo-boo and mango dolce were good, didn't like the grand reserve at all, it was like a brut (dry) champagne and then the sparkling passion was eh, so-so as I described it to the guy serving me, lol. Then for my last one I chose the sweet avocado and that one was good, it has a hint of the taste of Moscato. I then tried the sparkling lychee, and let me tell you that is the best one hands down!!! Our wine server was Kris, and he was great! Very nice, friendly, and great at describing the wines and what you can possibly mix them with and everything. So after you do your wine tasting you can buy some bottles and take them home or take them outside and dance to what the band is playing or just hang out. Even though they have some fans to help with the heat it just isn't good enough in this horrible south Florida heat and humidity. Would we go back? Yes, but it would definitely be in the "winter" months when it's not as hot.

    First visit. Wasn't sure what to expect of wine selection. Location is fairly secluded in the Redlands. Small cafe, also little "market" area you can buy items to sample during your wine tasting. Outdoor area well maintained. Wine selection better than I expect but you need to like flavored fruit wines. I would personally use the wines as a base for a sangria or spritzer or serve very cold sitting by the pool or beach on a hot day.

    This is the best winery in Miami. Under the hot sun and high humidity nothing is better then trying some of their refreshing wine selections which are made on the property. Great ambiance, nice staff, great little hidden gem away from the noise and traffic of Miami.

    Disappointed! The wine and beer was gross. Not my type. The ambient was nice and so was the staff.

    Date of Visit: May 23, 2015 I decided to continue my birthday celebrations here due to the family environment and live music - not to mention, who doesn't like wine/beer?! Parking is easy. The cover charge ranges from $10-$15 depending on what time you get there - there's always a line to enter the actual place, it's expected considering their seating capacity. If you buy the Groupon for entry, you still have to wait in line. The line to buy food/ bottles of wine or beer took FOREVER, at least an hour. Drunk people + long lines = frustrating! The food process is that once you order, you're given a number and they deliver it to your table. Well, we finally order our food and instead of being given a number, we are told that we need to come back in 20 minutes to see if it's out. Seriously?! We end up doing a wine tasting while ordering our food (the wines are good - however, you can buy the same wines at a supermarket for way cheaper). The food took at least an hour to come out - they are completely disorganized, they have no idea what food is coming out or who it's going to, they do not follow ticket order, and if you don't stand in front of them continuously asking where your food is, if you wait patiently for your food, you'll never get it - whether it's a big order or one dish. We finally get our food: 1. Steak with fries ($26): it was more like steak fritters - not bad, not worth the wait. 2. Burger with fries: it was okay but it was clear that it was a frozen patty (we ordered 3 of these) 3. Pork Tacos: okay at best The best part was that THERE WAS A HAIR IN OUR FOOD, the burger specifically. When we complain/ return it, we had to wait another 30 minutes. A 90 minute wait for food that was mediocre at best - BLASPHEMY! If you want to enjoy your time here, get there by 6, and eat before you come. The music was good and the vibe was enjoyable - as long as you do not enter the main building. I asked management if I could bring pizza or major outside food and was denied permission. Therefore this place wants people to purchase their food - considering my experience, that is not happening. I would not go back unless their customer service is seriously improved, the restaurant is removed, or customers are allowed to bring their own food. I brought a party of about 25 people who all spent money here - that's 25 people who will speak negatively of this establishment. Such a shame - I had high hopes for this place!

    Fun winery, I enjoyed myself. Our bartender Julio.provided great conversation, and knew his beers. We're thinking about returning within the next 48 hours to try some of their seasonal beers. Also, if you keep your wine glasses from the wine tasting, you get half off every time you come for a wine tasting, which is good to know. Julio also said they plan on doing ice skating (synthetic ice) in the winter, we might come back for that as well. This winery is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance

  • Keith P.

    Schnebly... not Schnelby, or Schnelley... You got delicious wine here. A chance to enjoy live music. And kids... what, kids at the winery? Don't get me wrong; kids are cool, but I am not sure if I would go out with a group of friends at night if kids were running around the place. It is a family-friendly establishment, but having a night out for the adults- I would want a place that is 21 and over. I can't say how the ambience is at night because I went on a Sunday evening, but I did enjoy myself. The food can be a bit overpriced; I paid $12 for what seemed like a fancy Lunchables box, but the wine is delicious. Overall, a pleasant place-- a paradise where you can enjoy live music and the manmade waterfall in the background.

    Unreal. We actually have a real winery in south Florida! Wow! This spot is an oasis! I don't know where to begin with this place but with the tasting! For a small fee you can sample a vast variety of their finest selections and will not be disappointed ! Try the sweet avocado which tastes nothing like the great fruit - just pure goodness!

  • Dan L.

    How did I ever forget to review this place! Wine with no grapes...and coconut ale!!! So we went to some gator farm...rode the airboat (I swear those things go faster...felt a little ripped off). From there we saw a sign that said there was a winery nearby...first day of vacation, why not!? This place is a pleasant little oasis. We were there on a weekday...early spring.. and there were very few people in there. The choices of wines (NONE of them grape) left my gf and cousin's gf in a conundrum on what to try. We were enjoying ourselves so much during the tasting (girls did wine tasting..guys did beer) that we ordered another bottle of wine and a couple more pints and went in the "backyard" and hung out. The backyard is the place to be... iguanas...a cat (that was very friendly) and a view. I suggest you look this place up if you are ever in the area!!

    Love the scene at night! It's beautiful and romantic. Great to have a wedding or party. I'm so in love with the CoCoVino! The owner is extremely passionate and nice. Took us on a tour himself. Wide variety of wines and beer to choose from. I had a great time with the DJ Tom! The winery did an awesome job choosing him for the Karaoke night and he gets involved with everyone and even dances! Mixes the music well and with a few glasses of wine you'll surely dance! Happy there's such a nice and lovely place with great wine down here

    Was here for a friend's birthday this past weekend. The place is gorgeous and I was pleased with their customer service. The wine selection I tried didn't blow my mind but it was def enjoyable. Giving it 4 stars because my husband is a beer drinker and wasn't impressed at all with their beers. There was a $10 fee because of a life band after 6 pm (we got there at 5:30 and still had to pay). Once the sun goes down the Mosquitos go crazy. Strongly recommend taking bug repellant. All in all it was a nice experience and something we don't normally do. I would most likely return for a girls event since I highly doubt my beer-drinking-mosquito-hating husband won't go again.

    Was thoroughly surprised when I walked inside how beautiful this place is and the location where the wine tasting is held is air conditioned (I was worried being from south Florida and knowing the humidity and the resident mosquitos that plague us)! Some of the staff were not that friendly but luckily we had a great experience during the wine tasting. I don't remember her name unfortunately because I already started my libation experience prior to coming (I was not driving woo hoo). Oh it is of note that we purchased a groupon which included the wine tasting, the tour, and 2 souvenir wine glasses. It was totally worth it! I don't know that I would pay for the tour if I had to pay full price, but for $11.95 the wine tasting , at full price, is definitely a win! For the most part the wines I tasted were delicious and I am not a wine drinker I prefer dark liquors (cognac, rum, bourbon, etc...). Even my husband who definitely does NOT drink wine enjoyed the wine and the experience. They also have a cafe inside that had pretty decent food. I had the mahi mahi dish which was a tad too salty for me but another person in my group enjoyed it. The mushroom soup was very tasty and generous portion. Someone in the group ordered the ribs with the guava sauce and they thought it was also surprisingly good. Sorry we didn't take pictures as by this time we had done the tasting and already had a few bottles of wine so we were not 'focused' on taking photos :-). This place also seems family friendly. There were a lot of kids running around outside in the grassy turf and were , for the most part, in the 'family' section. It was a harmonious blend of adults wanting to have adult time and families wanting to go out for a family night. Needless to say the grounds are beautiful. We didn't stay for the live music as we would have had to pay an extra fee per person in order to order more wine. I know it doesn't make sense to me but it didn't bother us much because we had already enjoyed the offerings and were ready for our next venue: midtown! Overall I'm glad we came here, but being that it took us over an hour to drive here I am not sure how frequent I would come back.

    Been coming here for years. Used to love it! Haven't come in about 8-10 months. Wow! What a change in service. Was sent all over the place for different things. Seemed like the staff was clueless! No one was willing to go the extra mile like before. Looks like another story of a business getting too big for it's own good. Very sad. Won't give up on this one yet. However a few more occurrences like this and I'm out for good.

    It's certainly a good location, very different for the Miami area, nice atmosphere cool and different place. But it has plenty of room for improvement. Our glass of water tastes like it had candle wax in it. Not sure if it's well water or what but that was odd. Food wasn't bad but it's was pretty mediocre, especially for the price. The guava chicken wings were good but expensive for 4 wings. My fish was very over salted so we're a few other things, way too much salt. Wine was good. We had the guava chocolate brownie it tasted like it came from a box. Should be noted the Women next to us had metal in their meal and they still paid for something. Also tip calculated on total with tax not subtotal nice little scheme there to get a few cents extra. To sum it up the restaurant part needs work, including better training for the staff, they were nice, just wasn't very good restaurant service. Cool place to grab a drink and enjoy music though.

    I went last night, and I can say that it's my favorite place to go to! The place is beautiful, romantic, and you can see the stars in the night sky perfectly. I recommend going when the weather is cool. It's in the outskirts of Homestead but it's worth the drive, I like to call it a hidden gem in Homestead. It is great to go with a group of friends either big or small, I guarantee you, you will have a blast. If you love dancing, and enjoy listening to a live band. I highly recommend you going on a Saturday night when Treehause is playing. They play from pop, disco, to Latin music. They play all varieties, they'll have you dancing the night away! The winery is awesome! I did the Ultimate tasting with my fiancé and we got to try 5 of their unique wines. DO IT! They give you a wine glass which you get to keep after and it's absolutely gorgeous. If you decide to go again and do the tasting you only get it for $$5 :D My favorite wines were the CocoVino, Cat 2 Hurricane Red and White !! Now, the only reason why I don't give my review a 5 Star even though I love this place is that the service for the food lacked. A couple of my friends had ordered hamburgers and they waited over 30-45 mins! I decided to order hot dogs thinking it would be quicker but I still had to 20-30mins. I could have been dancing ! I don't think "Jimmy Accursio and his crew" were there to cook the BBQ. The times that I've gone previously I have seen them and they have a nicer setup and look more professional, but last night I was just disappointed.. I recommend getting there early and eat their BBQ early to avoid the wait. But I'm definitely going to bring my own picnic next time. Still buying the wines though ;)

    Very nice, family oriented place to spend a nice day with the family! I recommend the passion fruit wine. For wine lovers, please have an open mind; as wines are made from exotic fruits not grapes. Beers were good, also a different variety! Live band on Saturday, plays nice music!

    Skip the wine , but its a cool place to stop in if you are visiting the redlands. My boyfriend and i were in the neighborhood and we hear about it on NRP so stopped over for a bottle of the cat 5 wine...we were going out on a limb because well its wine not made from grapes. We didnt try a sample but man we wish we did, 25 dollars wasted on a bottle we will never drink after we tasted,,,like bad fruit punch. But its fun to feed the coy fish, although watch out for grandpa the iguana he will try to scare the crap out of you !

    Place is nice. Went on a Saturday and they had a Cuban dance night going on. Very loud. Not your typical "winery". Staff were ok. Not very professional. Would go back but not when they have music like that. The wine was mediocre and they didn't have a cheese plate option. You have to but it and it comes in a plastic bag.

    We had been planning for months to head out to homestead to see what this winery was about. Needless to say we were sadly dissapointed. We were greeted outside with warmth by 2 kind faces a hostess and host however it quickly went down hill from there. The counter where you buy a sampling package or glass of wine etc also provides snacks and tapas..which is a nice idea however everything we possessed interest in we were told they were out of..hummus plate, trail mix, cheese plate..smh..its like cmon if you are out of these items at 2pm on a Saturday thats just piss poor planning on their part..and have the decency to wipe or cross it off the chalkboard list you have hanging there..ugghh. Now on to the wine sampling..our server flat out must have been vitamin d deficient&iron because he lacked any energy or zest for life..it was like being served by a tamed zombie.. So halfway through we thought we would switch servers by walking to the other end of the bar and by golly we were met with a Rude flat faced punk.. he was trying to rush folks along giving no explination of wines, he literally was there to pour wine and nothing else at alllllll... and when one of my pours smelled so sour I told him I wont drink it can I just try another wine he yelled at me saying you dont get it do you..thats not how this works okay..so if you dont like it tough...that you... What the f@€ k where did they find these employes...my man was ready to squeeze his neck..instead I just said lets move on to the beers.. The beer server was the big save in this situation I forget his name but he was a tell white male with mid length wavy hair..so incredibly nice and hospitable. He said he just came back from break and to give him a second which we had no problem with, see when your treated with respect its no problem. He came back quickly and was very attentive and explained every beer sample and what foods pair up nicely with those beers.. and he even engaged my man in some light guy talk/banter...veey nice guy. Now for the taste....The Wine just wasn't good, the hurricane series tastes like it has old gym shoes and work boots in it mixed with ocean spray juice..not good at all..I mean I hate to be harsh but it tasted plain gross to be a wine and as some other yelper mentioned it would be better off maybe masked in some bbq sauce. The avacado is gag worthy, and the guava taste like guava paste....not guava pastries like our very first zombie server mentioned..big difference there buddy. The lychee was actually the best of the bunch..the most passable but nothing to write home about. The beer was an improvement however, the coconut one was smooth, the ipa was fair, the mango beer was nice, and the brown ale was good. If you visit go for the beer its interesting and decent tasting, but beware the wine sucks.. The grounds were nice, but not nearly as big as you imagine or how the website makes it appear but nice nonetheless. All in all we will not be returning, the place has potential but definitely has several improvements to be made before they can call themselves a winery....as well as new friendly happy staffing would most certainly help the situation.

    I loved the atmosphere of the place. I also found it cool that it had more a picnic feel where you can bring you own food and glasses. I wish our group was a little more prepared, I would have went all out with our appetizers. So we decided to get good from their new restaurant. The meals we are were pretty good but it was a little over priced. The all you can taste wine was pretty cheap which is awesome. I only wish the bar was open in the evening, because they also offer their own beer. My favorite wine was the avocado wine.

    While visiting my friend in South Florida, we went to Schnebly Redland's Winery in Homestead, FL for a girls night out! We had a wonderful evening of wine tasting! The live music was great, the ambiance was great, and the wine, of course, was great! I often enjoy a nice, chilled glass of wine and I have my favorites, but I have to admit that the wine I tasted here was by far some of the best I've ever had! The winery was so nice and I am looking forward to going back again. The wine we purchased on the way out is called Category 3 Hurricane and it was a red wine with accents of guava and cherries and OMG I have never tasted a wine so delicious!!!

  • Meghan S.

    Thankful the staff is nice an accommodating!!! My coworker and I got there 20 minutes before closing and they stop doing tasting about that time. She had to leave the next day and we asked permission to get through a tasting really quick so that we could get a few bottles. The wines are quite unusual. I purchased the starfruit and coconut wines. I don't remember the names on the bottles, but i shared them with my boyfriend's family and they were a hit!!! Going back to try the avocado wines!

    what is it? a winery that has an outdors clubby thing going on at night. the good.. it's a hidden gem in south dade. it really makes you step back and wonder if you are still in dade county. they have live music and plenty of places to sit and hang out. the decor is tropical and a great place to be on a cool south florida eve. the bad.. their wines are an acquired taste. so far i only like one. on top of paying full retail for the wine (at their winery) you have to buy the glasses. seems to me that since i'm at the source things would be a little cheaper. they have beer but i have yet to find anyone that likes it. they do allow kids in at night which seems like a bad idea to me. this place has lots of decor stuff that kids can climb on. we saw one kid bust her lip climbing on rocks. who's fault is it? the parents but they will surely blame the winery for their out of control child. they need to make it 21 and over only.

    It was so cool to try the different fruit wines. Do the tasting and you get to keep your wine glass plus if you bring it back your next tasting is half off. Can't wait to go back (with my wine glass of course)

  • Melissa M.

    Recently visited this past weekend, I expected more. The tour isn't worth your money or time. As far as the wine, extremely sweet with no body to them-if you are a person who drinks wine, don't come here you'll be disappointed. The beer on the other hand isn't that bad, they have some that are interesting in taste. I gave this place three stars for its outdoor area-very relaxed, has live bands, plenty of seating.

  • Matthew C.

    We were gifted Schnebly's wine glasses and were itching to try the wine tasting. We came on a Sunday in early June to find the place packed with tourists. After purchasing our tickets, we were hoping to sit down and enjoy the tasting together, but learned that the only way to have the tasting was to wait for an open space at the bar, which was shoulder-to-shoulder and three people deep. It was basically a college frat party. After asking the bartender if we could enjoy the tasting while seated, we were rudely told to wait for a space. Many of those already at the bar had been there for a very long time and showed no sign of leaving. We ended up waiting over twenty minutes and had to ask for a refund. Worst wine tasting I have ever been to.

    Went for lunch to the Redlander. I don't know if they are still getting their ish together but the food was horrible. Two Measly fish tacos with chips that had NO SALSA $17 (wtf). My husband had a dry burger with overcooked fries $17 (barf). Service was excellent and ambiance was five star but I would just lap up some brews or sip the fruity wine. The restaurant just didn't cut it for the price paid. Should've headed to Casita Tejas for Mexican. Kicking myself in the butt now ;) I am only giving it 2 stars for the ambiance and the service. Unless they have an intervention in the kitchen I will never go back to order. Also the cooking is far too poor to host Miami Spice :(

  • Liliam L.

    I love this place! We went on a Sunday, early because they close at 5pm. All the wines were spectacular!!! My favorites were Passion Fruit, Lyche, Guava vino, Carambola, Cat 2 hurricane red, mango.The place has an awesome vibe. I recommend taking snacks, like ham, cheese, crackers etc. you'll have an awesome experience!

    (5)

  • Alex R.

    Overall not a bad place service on the other hand... we got there at 4:45pm for the last tour at 5pm and wine tasting. The tour was informative and the guide was pleasant. It's about an hour tour so when we got out we were told if we wanted to buy any additional wine or food to enjoy with the wine tasting each one of us would have to pay an additional cover charge of $12.50 each (group of 4 adults and 2 kids)... just to enjoy over priced cheese and crackers I understand a cover charge for live music and other amenities but even at 6:40pm there was no live music or anything else that would merit the additional cost.

  • Melissa C.

    Love this place to bring the family. The kids could enjoy playing in a nature ground scenario. While the parents sip on wine and talk. I recommend you bring some snacks like different cheeses or wine pairing foods. Also, bring back you wine glasses. You get discounted tastings. Don't come here thinking you will drink classic Pinot Nior or a well aged wine. Have an open palate for taste. This is not ordinary classic wine. These wines are more tart and different fruit based. They are interesting and fun. Consider this place a good place to gather and have a pleasant time with others instead of goi g to taste good wines. Beautiful scenery!

  • Debbie M.

    I love this winery! We started coming here when they first opened and come back whenever we are in the area. Since we have free wine tastings for life, we try to visit a few times a week. The wines are refreshing and unusual. The Sweet Avocado and CocoVino are my favorites. The setting is beautiful, and I love the waterfalls and landscaping. Lots of outdoor seating for evening events. We sampled the beers for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the Coconut Ale. Friendly employees, laid back atmosphere.

    Much like other people there that day we went to Schnebly's because of a groupon deal. When we got there after a long drive from Miami we found what we thought was the entrance. Instead we were redirected to a curved dirt driveway with a grass lot at the end. The place looks really nice with the fish and the waterfalls in their pond. We went into the white building for our wine tasting and I gotta say it was a good experience. The bartender was really nice and went through the wines with good detail. My favorite was their passion fruit wine and most of the others were very tasty. We didn't get to try the food because their deli section was mostly comprised of prepacked meats and cheeses that you could find in your local supermarket. The day we went they had a bbq but we didn't stick around for that once we saw that the burgers were $12 with a 15 minute wait. After we were done with our wine we were pretty much done with the place. The live music was good but it was so hot that day and we were hungry so we cut our day here short. I'd still recommend you check out this place to try out the wine and enjoy the view.

    We are here with the family for Mother's Day. Staff is rude and we were sitting inside the wine tasting building at the corner bar, tasting the wine that we paid for when either the owner or a manager made us get up and took our chairs. I would not come back here.

    Visited yesterday with a group of ladies... Peaceful atmosphere... Great way to spend a day with you better half... The tour was a great learning experience.... and last but not least, the wine!!!!!! They were all great, but my all time favorite, THE COCO VINO!!!!! Look for them at Publix!

  • Rachele S.

    My husband and I did a day trip here for the heck of it. I was dying to go and he had never been either. We started with the beer tasting then worked our way towards to wine tasting, all of which was great. We went on the walking tour of the winery and the tour guide did a great job. I can't wait to revisit this beautiful place. Great place for a date! ;)

  • Dayli A.

    Went for the first time for Valentine's Day and bought the vday special. It was very pricey and the food was not good (extremely small size portions, and cold/uncooked). The wine on the other hand was great, and the atmosphere - live music, the romantic vibe, service - was amazing. It more than made up for the crappy food. Don't go for the food, go for the wine and beer and you will be satisfied! :)

  • Lacey C.

    Your seriously-into-wine friends? You might not want to take them here. They will probably get mad at you. They will roll up in their (tiny) tasting room and expect a, b, and c. They will get a lot of really simple, barely qualifies as wine, super sweet, but entirely delectable (especially with BBQ) juice from bottles. Then they will probably be all like "WHY DID WE COME HERE?" But your guests from out of town? Uncle Bob? Aunt Marge? Mom and Dad? They're gonna frickin love this place. Go on the weekend and take a tour of the new Brewery. Have wine tasting, and maybe a beer tasting (you will be wasted). Try the carambola wine with pulled pork, and enjoy the Big Rod (coconut) and Shark Attach (mango wheat) beers. Their patio and gardens are genuinely impressive and serene. You'll be sipping in a little slice of heaven than is uniquely Miami/So-Flo. Keep your glass, and bring it back sometime--your wine tasting is only $5.

    Horrible experience. Website says RESTAURANT its a lie , I was expecting a real restaurant . It was literally a deli , they had a huge board with deli food that they don't even carry. We had to pay 12.50 for entrance which doesn't include anything. The wine tasting is separate .. The wine they had was AMAZING BUT you can only pick 5, which is not bad it's ok but they literally give you half a cup with all the wines combined .. It was half a sec pour. The service is horrible. They didn't explain any of the wines. Just handed you a paper with the different wines. The wine tasting was about 6 minutes long. You get to keep the glass. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. And it's EXTREMELY FAR

    The brewery is way out in the sticks, but worth the drive. I had a hard time picking up the Internet on my phone, but they offer free WiFi. There were a few wine selections, but only four beers on tap which was a downer. They offer growlers and wine bottles to go. The main bar is the centerpiece of the tap-room with a beautiful back patio with three gazebos, koi ponds and water falls to enjoy your drinks. They do sell small meat and cheese platters, deli sandwiches and chips for a quick bite. I would definitely recommend stopping by if in the area.

  • Allie S.

    I love this winery! Came here for Valentine's night with a group of friends even though it was busy we were able to find parking, do the wine tasting (FYI: $10 you try about 5 wines and you get to keep the wine glass.) We were able to find a table for 8 people and have our packed dinner as well. Overall this experience was amazing, second time I come here and I can't complain a hidden treasure of homestead. A must do for locals who want to have a new experience and the wines here are pretty tasty I recommend all of them, you can't go wrong with wonderful wine.

  • Tal T.

    I've been visiting Schnebly for well over six years now. Some of the recent changes improved both the property and the experience for visitors. Beer tasting: excellent value! Great flavors on their home-brewed brewskies. Sparkling tasting: Adding bubbles makes everything better. Tropical fruit wine is no exception. In fact, I prefer the sparkling varieties to the other wines. Events: Now packed every weekend, Schnebly's offers live music and great people watching. An adjacent event space is usually closed for weddings and celebratory gatherings, but they usually keep the main hall open to the public. I am afraid I can't bestow the elusive five star review, as the wines are not to my particular taste. However, it's clear these winemakers are successful and serious, as they have received multiple awards for their wines. Bottom line: Still a gorgeous venue and a must-do on your Redland Romp tour.

  • Mary-Margaret M.

    Visiting my hometown. It's a beautiful day and we decided to stop in at Schnebly's Winery. Apparently, if you'd like to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, you better bring your own glass. After I ordered a glass of wine, I found out the glasses are only available for people that want to stand at the bar inside and do a wine tasting. Otherwise, they actually serve your wine in a little plastic cup. What kind of winery experience is that? They may as well serve your wine in a paper cup or a red solo cup. I won't return, but if you come I recommend that you order the wine tasting and just tell them to give you five of the same type so that at least you can enjoy your wine in a glass. They really need to invest in some inexpensive glasses so that people can enjoy their glass or bottle of wine in a glass! Apparently they don't have a lot of respect for their own wine if they don't offer it in a glass.

    I really like this place, and the experience there, the only thing I need to make an observation is that since this is such a family place, they should place a BABY CHANGING TABLE on the restrooms, thats a must have here!

  • Ray C.

    Schnebly Redland's Winery is another fun for the entire family place. It is out there in the in the Redlands Homestead area. When you get there it is worth it. Plenty of food , music, space for the kids to run around and a lot of wine tasting. Bring a jacket if is cool out because the temperature there drops a bit. Bring a few dollars and enjoy there hamburger grills. You will see groups of people and lots of kids and a dance floor and live band on the weekends for sure. Easy 5 stars for Dating or family fun.

    We have been coming here before it was built . They use to have a little trailer house only when they started . We love there wines and champaign . The tour is awesome and the wine tasting is great . The owners were always friendly and nice to us . When they built up the place we said when we are ready to get married this is the place . In 2011 we decided to get married and booked the winery . We came in a few days before to remind them to spray for Mosquitos as it had been raining . We got married on the lawn and had the reception under the large tiki hut . Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Serves was great . Wedding was dreamy . But At the end of the night I was itchy from mosquito bits . The following day I found out all of my guest had been bit at least 25 times and up . Some of the guest Even got sick from the bites . I called the winery but they said they had sprayed 1 weeks before wedding . Which I didn't understand because had talked to them to be sure to spray the day before . I have come back to the winery several times after because we love the place . Last night we celebrated our anniversary there and I did get a couple of bites . If it wasn't for the mosquito problem they have I would give this place 5 stars . My advice to anyone thinking of coming here or getting married here , to bring tons of bug stray .

    Enjoyed my visit to Schnebly's. My group of 4 went for a tour of the grounds and a wine-tasting. The tour is forgettable. They try to offer a winery experience. While it could never compare with at least California wineries, they do their best to hold their own. I admire and respect that. But I don't suggest wasting the 30 minutes or money on the tour. As far as the tasting...... I am not a fan of their wines. Toooo sweet & the flavors are just not pleasing to my palate. At all. But it is a wine tasting and you can get a tiny buzz while checking out the goods, so I'd recommend it. 4 stars because it's homegrown. A Miami winery - something pretty unique, especially considering our climate. Also, it's a GREAT date spot. Sign up for a tasting and then grab a seat at one of the tables outside, maybe with a bottle of your preferred Schnebly wine and picnic basket (no outside drinks are allowed, including water & soda; outside food is allowed and food is also for sale onsite). There's a man-made body of water and a small bit of scenery but the atmosphere is definitely romantic. Early evening is a great time because the sun is not beaming and sunset from that area is gorgeous. It's quite a drive but with a nice ambience and prices that are just right, it's worth it to enjoy this unique South Florida experience.

    Brenda was an amazing wine pourer and quite helpful. We tasted unique wines at this vineyard, none of which were made with grapes! Their unconventional wines are made with avocado, mango, passion fruit and lychee, for example. If you like sweet and/or white wines, then you'll love the wines at Schnebly. They also had quite interesting Beer. The Fan Fave (and my favorite too) is Johnny's Special 50/50. This mixture is half Coconut and half Mango beers, also brewed onsite. Sounds weird but the flavor immediately transports you to the Caribbean! Aside from the nice interior of this winery, they also boast extensive grounds for parties, weddings, karaoke or romantic settings. I was there on a Friday night and got to enjoy karaoke and BBQ, cooked onsite. This is a hidden gem, only 25 minutes outside downtown Miami. It's definitely worth visiting!

    Went on Saturday night for "BBQ" with live music. The BBQ was a total let down as they only had burgers and ribs which were small for the price, huge line, 45 min wait. Definitely bring your own food. I saw people bring pastelito platters etc now I know for next time. The wine was amazing. I definitely recommend the guavina wine and also the delicious fruit ice cream inside (although pricey was awesome). The place def was a nice night out. They have a nice running waterfall with moi fish, ample seating area although we ended up far from the live music. Definitely for adults leave the kids at home.

    Wines were interesting, but they're all sweet! You have to like sweet wine here. The 'bartender' we had was terrible though, guy named Felix I think. Very unfriendly and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. The winery tour was boring for me, but if you want to know more about the history of this place it might be for you.

  • Naty K.

    After hearing about this place from a friend and seeing the constant Groupon deals, I nudged my friend to give this place a go, considering the great weather that day. You'd be surprised how few people know about this place, especially people who live further north of the Homestead and Cutler Bay area..."There's a winery? In Miami? You're kidding!", I constantly hear. Unfortunately, I had no idea there was a tour and that it only went on during certain hours, or I wouldn't have spent most of my afternoon sunning myself on the beach. Therefore, we missed the tour. I wish my friend had mentioned a tour since he'd been there before, and I also wish he had checked the website while I was in the beach, trying to reach that electronics-free zen. We arrived and took a path through some forested area to a parking lot where we were guided to a parking spot. At the entrance, we got the tickets and entered. There was a live band when we arrived, and I liked the well-manicured grounds, so I thought I'd love it. We tried to check out the waterfalls and found they were cordoned off and that is when we found out about the tour and the fact it was too late. Bummer, I love nature and plants so I was really disappointed! I also thought this was a traditional winery, meaning they'd explain the process of wine-making and have us witness it/be a part of it. Maybe they do this during the tour? We were able to try several wines inside the tasting room via the Ultimate Tasting. It's a great deal: you pay $10 and get to try 10 different wines and keep the glass at the end of it all. Bear in mind, I am not a wine drinker at all, I prefer liquor, but I was pleasantly surprised by the choices offered. I tried everything from the sweeter to the more tart wines, and liked them. I think the Guava and Carambola were my favorites. A bottle will set you back about $20, so they're not cheap. The bartenders are informative, describing each flavor and recommendations on food pairings. The sheet where you select which 10 wines you'd like to try from the list also has a brief description of the flavors. If you want some Schnebly's merchandise to look hip, they've got that covered too. I liked the outdoor tiki area with the live music and twinkling lights, but at that point the live band started playing Latin music, which my friend and I are not fond of, and there was no indication they'd go back to the 70s music or soft rock, which had barely elicited a reaction from the audience, so we left. Considering this is in the middle of nowhere and had plenty of attendance, we quickly came to the conclusion that this was THE locals' place to be on a weekend night since there's nothing else to do in the surrounding area. I feel like I missed out on the whole experience, due to not taking the tour, so I definitely plan to go back and take the tour. Oh, I thought I'd mention that if you go back and bring your glass, according to their site, you only pay $5 for the Ultimate Tasting, rather than the normal $10. Quite an incentive to keep that glass in a safe place.

    Great ambiance. Good cover band. Food from grill was mediocre and the menu was limited to burgers, ribs and wings. Wine is not for red or white wine lovers as this winery produces fruity, sweet wines only. No grape varietals. IPA brewed here was good, not too citrusy and good level hops.

    Love the wine tasting. I always bring my glass and get the tastings for 5.00.

    I'm very mixed on this place! The venue is nice and cute and the service is great, but the wines... On a road trip my boyfriend and I decided to make a quick pit stop here. I was skeptical about South Florida wines but he insisted (he loves wine!) so onward we went, deep into Homestead farmland. When we arrived, we were surprised at how developed this place was. We decided to split a wine tasting to see what was going here. Then we realized.. They don't make wines with grapes, but rather tropical fruits. I was a little baffled since that is usually just liquor but these definitely had the feel of wine. We tried the avocado, guava, passion fruit, mango, coconut wines as well as the sparkling lychee. The avocado wine was, quite frankly, disgusting. I don't know what it is about the fruit but there is definitely something weird about the taste. The rest of the wines were fine (the coconut one tasted like a piña colada, sort of) but not something I would ever reach for. Overall it was a fun experience but not for the wine!

    I really can not think of anything that could be better than a winery and brewery in the same place. Thank you so much to Schnebly for putting the two together. So we parked in the very large lot and wandered to the front door, walked in and were very impressed at how nice it was. You walk in and pay for what you would like to do. My husband and I wanted to share both a wine tasting and a beer tasting. We paid and took a seat at the wine bar. The guy helping us was very knowledgeable about the wine. He explained all about each one that we tried and how they actually make their wine with fruit instead of grapes. All the wines we tried were really good and very interesting. They do let you keep your wine glass, so I was happy to be adding to my collection. We then moved over to the beer bar and tried the four beers they had on tap. I really enjoyed the coconut one. We thought the price for the tasting was a little high but they did give you a pint of your favorite after the tasting so that added value. You can also drink outside and look at their beautiful grounds. Schnebly may be a little out of the way but I think it is worth the drive.

    I've been coming here for years and still love this place. It is beautiful and it is great to enjoy with your friends and family. I've never had a bad experience here. The best part about this place is that you are allowed to bring your own food (Yes, your're own food) but you are not allowed to bring drinks outside as they are trying to sell wine to their customers ( It is a winery after all). They do have options for kids or for people that don't drink wine. They have soft drinks and water. They also have another section for beer tasting. On Friday and Saturday nights, they have a live band playing and there's enough space to dance. I highly recommend this place if you like to dance and drink wine (or beer).

    I pay a visit to this place occasionally and I really like it. However, The reason I don't give it a 5 star is because every time I visit, there is usually a little "sour" moment in the experience that robs that last star from my rating. Nothing that a few glasses of great tasting wine can't shake off, and they do have great wine, but still "sour" enough to stop the experience from being perfect. These "sour" moments are consistently coming from their in house restaurant. For the sake of being fair, and because I really like this place, I'm gonna rate the wine and restaurant separately. Please, read both sections to get a fair picture of what to expect in this place. The wine is excellent! They offer all sorts of different wines made from fruits and I love that (grapes are not the only fruits out there people). They have lychee, guava, mango, coconut and even avocado and other great ones. My favorite is Category 3. Those come in an array of dry and sweet or combination of both. Great selection! I give this a 5/5. The restaurant, however, is a different story. Before I go into the negatives, I want to mention the positives: The food is great! Most of it at least...The chef is very talented and the flavors are there. The portions are small, which can be considered a negative, but I prefer that when drinking wine, so I don't overeat and don't feel bloated later. Now the negatives: It seems like they just opened their in house restaurant and they are still getting the hang of things. The worst part is....it shows! It's very obvious. The servers are terrible and don't know what they are doing. We ordered bottles of wine and the servers said we had to pay extra to drink the wine in wine glasses!!!! what?!!! Thankfully, the manager corrected the server and they gave us complimentary wine glasses. Also, we ordered food and most of the plates were plastic, dispensible plates. What?!! The meals are not cheap!! I want real plates and real utensils! Anyways, on to the food. I previously mentioned that the food is great but not all of it. I'm actually referring to a specific item in the dessert. The lychee creme brulee.....please, avoid that dessert!!!! Let me explain...I love creme brulee. I like it so much I learned how to make it myself and I order it everywhere I go to try different ones and compare them to mines. Naturally, I saw they offered it, so I had to try it. Judging by how great the other food had been I was excited to try it...I was completely disappointed to find out it wasn't creme brulee...It was flan!!!! really?!! Flan??!!! Flan and creme brulee are both custards and naturally they share some ingredients and have similar recipes, but they taste completely different and their texture is different. Custards are made with egg yolks, some kind of creamy milk product and sugar. In creme brulee, heavy cream is used and in flan, condensed milk. This "creme brulee" was made with condensed milk...so it's flan! It did have the crystalized, torched sugar on top. However, the custard was flan. The menu was very misleading and If the menu had said "flan brulee" I wouldn't have ordered it. It was $8 for that small portion flan. I'm cuban and we eat lots of amazing flan in our culture. This was not even a good flan. It was overwhelmingly sweet. The burned, crystalized sugar on top of the already super sweet condensed milk was too much. I give the restaurant 3/5. It's a shame, because everything else is great. However these "sour" moments keep it from being a perfect experience.

    I went there for the first time after hearing a lot about Schnebly's. I had a great time. We started with our wine tasting Kris our server was awesome. Super friendly. Once we were done with our tasting we took our picnic to the patio to enjoy the Friday night karaoke.

  • Jennine P.

    Great place! Went for a friend's birthday with a large group and we were able to sit at a couple of tables close to the bar comfortably. We bought 6 bottles and got the 7th free and of course went and bought more bottles to take home. The wine is sweet but those who aren't big on drinking wine, the fruity Schnebly flavors are perfect. The guava is delicious but my absolute favorite was the guavino! I wasn't able to do the tasting tour but I will definitely be going back to do so. They usually have groupons that include the tasting tour for half the price, so I'd recommend to check groupon first. The atmosphere is very lively. This was the first time I had been there but I plan to visit again real soon!

    Stumbled upon this place while on our way to the Coral Castle. Saw the sign on the highway and decided to turn! It truly is an oasis in the middle of nowhere- beautiful, lush outside area with tables to enjoy your purchases. We really enjoyed ourselves and to me it felt like a little vacation while there. We did the wine tour and tasting for $15 each (with complimentary glasses to take) and before the tour we had a flight at Miami Brewing Co. which I think was $14. The tour was interesting and, while I would say most of the wines are on the sweet side since they are made from fruit, they are not unbearable and there are definitely at least a few not on the sweet side. We bought two bottles of wine (AvoVino and Guava) and a growler of beer (lychee). Can't wait to come back and bring family!

    It is my third time coming here. the place its gorgeous vibe is hip and believe it or not the place its in the middle of nowhere, yet all three times that Ive been here its full and people just keep coming in. On Saturday they have live music from Carlos who sings amazing songs from salsa, merengue and music we can all appreciate from the radio. The dance floor was packed and everyone seemed to be having a blast. I found the best spot for a date in this place, but i will keep that to myself ;) . Now they recently introduced a Bar-B-Q section which is nice, and besides the tapas or ordering food you can get some burgers,hot dogs etc.... As i was having a small chat with David the manager of the winery, he was letting me know that since the weather wasn't that cold this season there are not that many lychee trees flowering this season. They are still selling some wine from last crop but he did mention that y mid summer it may be hard to get some. So if you appreciate their wines, specially the lychee which its their best seller you should purchase some no that its available. The winery overall is very clean,very well kept and the waterfalls are just captivating and just brings out the romantic in you. This place its lie spring for birds, if you have a husband, girlfriend or partner make sure you two head over to the winery and enjoy a great evening, you are bound to have one there.

  • Kristen D.

    This is my favorite winery. They have wines made from different fruits instead of grapes. Lychee, although has become increasing expensive the past few years, is my personal favorite. Always an enjoyable experience whether with friends or a loved one. Beautiful landscaping, knowledgable staff, live music, decent food (the selection could use some improving). Overall, a great place to visit.

    As you walk into this place, you are instantly captured by the beautiful scenery and elaborate landscaping that makes up this place however that is quickly erased when you take the tour of the place only to find the tour guide is an unpolished nail as soon as he opens his mouth. Proper English is certainly not a requirement with these tour guides! Wear comfortable shoes as towards the end of the tour, they will lead you into an area where they are doing construction so if you're a female wearing open toe shoes your ankle will probably bend! They then proceed to take you into a room encumbered with the smell of horse maneur and they attempt to continue the tour there while everyone is holding their noses, as the tour guide says the history of barley and beer! Needless to say we exited stage left , didn't finish the tour and got a refund. Mediocre tour good wine

    So I finally had to check out what all the hype was about. Went there on a date thinking it was going to be a romantic place for us. While we had a fabulous time together, because the company was great, the winery, the ambiance and their wine left much to be desired. Here's the caveat - I admit I am a wine snob. So on a scale from 1 to 5, I would say that all of the wines I tried rated from 1 - 3. Also, it was hot and muggy outside and there was a lot of noise with a bunch of kids running around and the karaoke blasting from across the patio area. So, it wasn't a very romantic setting. Maybe we just picked a bad day to go there for a date. As for the location -- it's off the beaten path for sure. No, better said, it's far as hell (unless you live in Homestead or the Redlands)!! And the drive to and from there is really creepy especially late at night. The picnic tables under the large tiki hut area has a dancing area and a small stage for bands and the karaoke. I think it might be a lot more fun going there with a group of friends, bringing food and drinking beer. Oh yea, forgot to mention, they do have their own homebrewed beer which is their saving grace. When I return (it's worth giving them a 2nd chance), I will opt for their beer.

  • Danielle P.

    Agreeing with many when I say skip the wine (especially if you are a dry wine fan.) the brewery gets 5 stars, a limited but absolutely amazing beer selections. The beer tasting is worth the &14.95 and you get a pretty cool pint glass. The atmosphere is awesome and it's a great place for parties in a garden. Great for families. We will be regulars.

  • Kristina P.

    This was a random find after visiting the local Coral Castle, but certainly a pleasant surprise! We opted for the beer (Miami Brewing Co) which was outstanding - coconut beer, who knew? Grabbed lunch which was also better then expected. Worth the the side trip if in the area or traveling to the Keys!

    This is an incredibly cool place. The staff are super friendly. The issue is that fruit wine in general will never be good. It doesn't matter who makes it. I'd go back to the place for the beer tasting.

  • Jamie S.

    Each and every time I've visited, I've enjoyed myself. This winery is literally in the middle of nowhere but once you go inside, it's another world. It's a very chill spot for friends, families, couples, etc. You walk in to see a live band playing and people dancing in sandals. You can bring your own food however they also have BBQ which was pretty tasty I might add. For the most part, this is an outside venue so be sure to bring bug repellant. As you walk towards the back past the outdoor portion of the venue, you will see the actual winery + brewery where the tastings take place. You get 5 wine samples of your choice for $10 which is NOT BAD. The best wines to try are Guava, Carambola and Lychee then you can purchase bottles, cheese, snacks, etc. I have yet to try the beers but I'm DYING to since they brew it themselves. Prices for entrance, tastings and bottles are reasonable. On Fridays, they have karaoke. Overall, this is a great place and I can't wait to go back!

    Miami is a unique city and so is this experience. You cannot compare grape wine to Schnebly's wine because they use tropical fruit. Beautiful atmosphere. Chrissy and Phillip are wonderful bartenders. They gave a lot of background information about the wine. Very relaxing, laid-back environment.

    (5)

  • Lisa K.

    Schnebly's is the southernmost winery and production brewery in the US and has grown significantly in the past several years, so if you haven't been in a while...GO. The venue is beautiful and is definitely worth the drive. AvoVino and Sweet Avocado, their Avocado wines, are surprisingly delicious!

  • Keith S.

    If you go north on this road for about 3 miles, you are AT the everglades. The winery is part agro-tourist attraction and part crop recycling. If you don't take the tour you will have no clue what is going on. (so take the tour, I am not explaining it here). You can get some lunch here and do some wine tasting. Here are my favorites - Cat 2 and the Guava.

    I have had a trip to Schnebly on my South Florida Bucket List for years. A couple of weeks ago, my roommate took her family there and her mother bought a case of the wine which comes with a special VIP card, earning you free tastings and tours every month. She was nice enough to lend me the card to take a trip to see what it's all about for myself. We got there at 11 because it's never to early to start drinking on a Saturday, right? We immediately were lead to a bar where we got to pick 5 different wines to try. As we sipped, the bartender explained the varieties and what made they all different. After our tasting, we wanted to go on a tour but had a little bit of time to spare. We did the only logical thing to do and made our way over to the beer counter to give that a try. Johnny attended us and let us try every beer, including his 50/50 special and even a special concoction he made using a sparkling bottle of wine. It was a different kind of beer that was not my favorite, but unique to hear about. You can tell he's very passionate about this stuff and that they have high hopes for future growth. Then it was time for the tour also led by Johnny. He is definitely a character and it was pretty interesting to hear about the place, but be prepared for it to last at least a hour. We left with a bottle of the Lychee and CAT 2 wines. I would've liked a bottle of the Boo Boo but truth be told, it can all get pretty pricy! Overall, definitely worth a trip out to the Redlands. I'd even be interested in venturing back again for a Friday or Saturday night... It's a great spot for a picnic, music and fun evening.

    This place is amazing!!!! I got an offer with groupon that included tasting 5 different wines, drinking one whole glass of your pick of wine, a tour of the winery, and you get to keep your souvenir glass of wine. The wine really was delicious (mango, guava, avocado, lychee, and passion fruit wines.) The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have about the wines. We also tried a beer they had (Miami Brewing company) and to quote my boyfriend "it was the best beer I've ever had." I highly recommend schnebly winery!

  • Lissete D.

    My husband and I have been here on a few occasions. Only during the day, so I cannot comment on their evening activities. There are days when we just feel like being tourists and head to "the country". The wine is okay. I'm not a beer drinker, but I did the tasting and they were not bad. For me, because I like fruity. My husband on the other hand, did not care for them. The venue is nice for spring or winter events. I can't imagine hosting an event during our muggy Florida Summers. Now, I gave them an extra star because the staff has always been really friendly. During our last visit, Josue went out of his way to accommodate. If you're in the area, I say go ahead and visit. I wouldn't go all the way out there, just to visit the winery though. Especially at night. It must be a really creepy drive in total darkness.

    Tremendously pleasant ambience surrounded by nature both real and implanted. Enough seating areas to entertain small children who need to run around but also for those who do not wish to be besieged and surrounded by running squealing children. The tour was a collective waste of our time as we had no interest in fermenting our own brew so didn't desire to know how it was made. Having toured winery's in Napa Valley, we were looking forward to a lovely walk through fragrant vineyards. Instead, we briefly holed up in a bitterly cold aluminum warehouse with nothing to look at but ginormous silver vats. Yawn. Not worth the $9 per person. Thoroughly enjoyed the wine and beer tastings and the super friendly and knowledgeable bar staff. Wish we'd brought our own picnic lunch to partake of the lovely outdoor seating. We'd have stayed longer if our tipsy levels could've been evened off.

    Love this place especially when they have groupon or living social deals. Most of the wine gets mixed reviews from my friends but the cat 2 & 3 were favorites for us. The atmosphere is awesome and I love that you can bring whatever you want like food and games. I'd go back.

    Last year for my bf's birthday I decided to plan a surprise trip to Schnebly's. Knowing that this would be a full day with alcohol I decided to book a limo and have all of our friends surprise him at the location we started from. ***Side note, the limo was great and definitely the way to go if you want to do Schnebly's right. After about an hour drive we arrived at Schnebly's. I wanted everyone to have the full experience so we did both the beer tasting and wine tasting with tours. We waited around (bathroom breaks) for probably about 20mins before our first tour started - the beer. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and passionate and made it an enjoyable experience. Once back to the main building we got to try the beers - and not small sample cups, but large pours - everyone was probably drunk at that point. We then got called to our wine tour... the guide was slightly less enthusiastic, but probably was annoyed with our drunken giggling and obnoxious questions. Once back inside we started on the wine tasting. I think it's 10 wines? And the pours were pretty small, but our "bartender" seemed to love our drunken behavior and was keen to pour as much as we wanted. It led to us buying a case of one of the wines, so the generosity probably worked in their favor. There was food available for sale when we were there, a small cart with hotdogs and hamburgers I believe, but we didn't try any of them. The grounds themselves were beautiful and I can see this place being a favorite for families and couples alike. They encourage you to bring your own food and enjoy their wine - think picnic style day - which sounds cute and fun to me! I'm on their mailing list now, and a VIP member, so I'm always getting emails about fun Friday nights with live music - haven't tried it since Schnebleys is a bit far for me, but if you live closer I would definitely check it out!

    While the experience might be decent, the customer service was atrocious. My friend took her sister-in-law here for her 21st birthday. They charged her twice for one bottle of wine and on the way back from the car to have the error fixed her sister-in-law (who just had open heart surgery and is on blood thinners, mind you) slipped while walking through the fountain area, busting her purchased wine bottle with her arm during the fall and started bleeding everywhere. The people she spoke to about the incident and the refunding of the extra charge didn't even offer an apology or a first aid kit, rather they told her she should have been more careful since it was 'obviously wet'. They should have at the very least replaced her bottle and had the decency to apologize for the inconvenience or offered her the medical attention she required. I was really excited to try this place out but knowing how little regard they hold for their customers, I think I'll take my business elsewhere. Shame!

    Amazing experience for a Sunday afternoon. I'm a beer guy and the wife is a wine girl. The beer selections were great, not a big fan of their mango-wheat brew but the coconut blonde ale was excellent (I've tried many coconut infused beers that have been horrible).

    This place is nice but unless you live around the corner from it pack a lunch because its super far from Miami lakes there a hour and a half. Wine was okay a little to buttery/oily huge stomach pain the next day. The shark tank beer is good but difficult to swallow very filling. Had a great time with my gf but won't go out of my way to go back. Suggestion to the company keep the wines simple however the guava is amazing !

  • Tom F.

    I have loved this place for a long time. I remember when it was just a trailer, and now it is a parking lot packed, successful business. Our latest visit was in August, on a Sunday. We had a group of 15 or more. We went outside, and both big tiki huts were closed off. One being used for some kind of party, and the other was closed because there were not enough people? We heard the live music may not play, depending on how many people would show up. It did play, but it was hot! No fans, and not a lot of shade. Every table was full outside. People even left because there was not enough tables. Don't buy the food there, bring your own. Long wait, and expensive. The wine is a little pricey too, but worth the atmosphere. I spent well over $50 for two bottles of wine and three waters. I won't be back in the summer, but will when it cools down.

    Schnebly's Winery is definitely worth the drive to the Homestead area - and I am not even a huge wine drinker. Just be mindful that you will probably drop close to $100 for an evening here if you enjoy drinking. The scenery is gorgeous. The outside seating allows for a view of a waterfall and palm trees. There are string lights to make the ambiance that much sweeter if you want to make it a romantic evening. On certain nights they have live music and karaoke. People sing, people dance, people eat, and people drink. It is quite the winery experience - the most unique one I have ever had. As for the wines - I am not a seasoned wine drinker, but I enjoy the cocovino and both guava based wines. They are unique and refreshing. Warning: most of the wines are relatively sweet. If you are looking for dry wines then this is not the place to drink wine. Luckily, this winery also doubles as a brewery. (Another reason why I adore this place!) The Miami Brewing Company is housed here and they serve about 5 different brews, but the only one I care about is the Big Rod Coconut Ale. Hands down the best beer i have ever had! They have growlers you can purchase to refill as well as glasses to purchase for cheaper refills. If you are coming here for the first time I suggest getting a sampler of the wine and of the beer (maybe on two separate occasions depending on how much alcohol you can take). I also suggest bringing your own food to munch on as they only have cheese and crackers for sale. A few things to keep in mind: 1.)You can't bring in any water, but don't be conned into buying the $3 water bottle. Keep your glass and refill it at the drinking fountain around the corner by the restrooms! 2.) It gets very hot outside and can be very busy inside so dress appropriately. Dress light and make sure to stay hydrated. In closing, just take it all in and grit your teeth as you are swiping your credit card. Keep in mind that not too many wineries use tropical fruits for drinks and not too many have breweries included inside as well. Appreciate this little Miami treasure. I know I do!

    I'm feeling fruity...and I LOVE IT! The cash register is right to your left upon arrival because these guys are confident that you want their wine. Let me tell you, they're right! You do the wine tasting in order to see what you like best (category 3 and Lychee are amazing.) The employees there serving the wine and beer are really exciting and knowledgeable, at least mine was. After that, grab your favorite bottle and enjoy. The tour is best when, how do I say....inebriated. I've been there twice and let me tell you, worth the drive, worth the prices, it's different, it's daring, it's damn good wine, and no one should ever waste damn good wine.

    Finally made it to this great place! I had a very open mind coming here knowing most of their wine would be too sweet for me or fruity. We just came to check it out and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a very lovely hostess who directed us to the cashier after telling us how it worked with wine and beer tasting. We first purchased the wine tasting, walked over with our souvenir stems to the wine bar. A very nice guy gave us our forms to fill out saying to pick five wines to try and then he would pour one at a time. He explained the different flavors etc... Super friendly service. We tried five different wines, which none are made by actual grapes. They are all made with fruit that they grow on premise. Lychee, mango, passion fruit, avocado's, guava, etc.... Although this is not my style of wine at all, we thoroughly enjoyed something different. All I could think about is how much my mother would love these wines. Next up we walked around viewing the very pretty outside, lined with picnic tables, benches, high tops and another beer tasting bar. The tree's and flowers were ever so pretty, the little ponds filled with many large fish, the huts for private events were so cool. They told us about the live music on the weekends, sounds like so much fun. The outside is just so relaxing and pretty that I could totally see hanging out here at night enjoying a fun filled evening. Only one issue driving home. To bad they do not offer a shuttle bus in which I think has been mentioned already. This day they had a catering company come in to offer BBQ, we bellied up to the beer tasting bar, got another set of souvenir beer glasses and tried the beer tasting. We ate pork and ribs, in which both were very good, no complaints. Funny I do not like guava at all and this was the only beer I actually liked. The beer is like the wine made with their own fruit. This is something different to do and spend a great afternoon here. The only thing that drove me nuts was hubby and I were walking around and were slammed into by several obnoxious kids running around like lunatics. There was many families with strollers and toddlers. I do not have a problem with bringing kids here as it can be a great family spot but really kids that young that are so out of control. Hello, they bother other people that are trying to enjoy their peaceful day. This is and should not be a place for such young kids because it can put a damper on your quiet romantic time. Hubby and I had such a wonderful time here together. Every single person we encountered was amazingly friendly and so helpful. Great place to check out for a very fun afternoon all except the monster children!

    Great place, really good beer. If you come with children, have them feed the fish so that you can enjoy afternoon.

    Schnebly's is a great relaxing weekend excursion. There is a wide selection of fruit wines to sample and enjoy on the premises. They were running a pretty good special - 2 tastings, a bottle of wine, and 2 tours for $20 per person. Can't beat that price! For the tasting you were able to sample 5 different wines and keep the monogrammed glass. Also, you can bring the glass back any time and get free tastings. There were wines made from avocados, coconuts, guavas, carambolas, lychees, mangoes, and passionfruits available for tasting and purchase. Most of these fruits do not produce enough sugar naturally to allow for a proper fermentation process, so fructose needs to be added during processing. The result is a sweeter taste, I would say very similar to a Riesling or a dessert wine. If you prefer a drier taste then these will be too sweet for you. Our favorites were the Cocovino and Lychee wines. We didn't like some of the others, but that is what the spit jar is for. The service was a little slow, they could probably use another bartender or two, but the tasting overall was very enjoyable. The tour was pretty informative. The operation is not that large so there is not too much to see, but the grounds are definitely very nice. The next time we will probably bring some lunch to have with a couple of bottles. They also have some cheeses available for purchase and consumption, but they are a little on the pricey side. I find it pretty funny that some other reviews have complained that the fruit wines are not considered real "wine". Fruit wine is actually well known throughout the world, and I'm pretty certain any true wine connoisseurs know that you will not find any wine quality grape farms in South Florida. I would definitely recommend Schebly's as a great day trip from Miami to experience something different.

    Wen't with my girlfriend to try out thier wine tasting. I found the wines that they make are a bit too sweet, but they have an awesome selection of beers that are brewed by them. The place is great for picnics, and the live music was great. Perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    The location and decoration is great the wine is ok but the service sucks. I bought $180 worth of wines and the have me plastic cups to drink them from. How hard is it to have wine glasses available to enjoy the wine in. The first 4 times I came here the service was much better but it seems like the service just fell off the cliff.

    This is a great place to go hang out and drink yummy wine. There's no particular dress code so it's pretty laid back. We went looking for the BBQ mentioned in earlier reviews and ended up going hungry. There are some snacks but nothing that will sustain you considering that you're drinking wine or beer. I found it to be kind of a pain to have to haul around the bottle of wine since they do not sell it by the glass and its pretty much self service as far as finding a place to sit. I wish I would have known that we could have taken our own food or just ate before we went. All in all it's a good time, I did see a lot of kids there. Not something I would do on a Saturday night, but they are allowed in. The band was great and the service is friendly. However they are young so don't be surprised if they try hit on you toward the end of the night once you've had some wine in your system.

    Made it to Florida's Southernmost Winery in the US... The trip was not overly scenic and I think our GPS sent us through a residential area.. But nonetheless, we made it! As you walk in you're sent to the register to choose your experience: wine tasting, wine tasting + tour, overpriced cheese/crackers, and beer tastings... We opted for the $15 combo and sampled 5 wines in a nicely sized glass. Cocovino, Avovino, Guava, Mango, and Cat 2 Red... None of them made with grapes but fruits grown on property. All good for the novelty of drinking wine without grapes. The tour consisted of walking inside their tank warehouses where they explain history/story of how the winery came about. Guide was nice and informative. The property is nice, it features tikis, waterfalls and plenty of seating. The beers were better than the wines.. The coconut beer and coffee porter were the more memorable selections... Overall, I would say a nice Sunday visit with friends and/or family.

    This was amazing! I had been dying to come down here for the tasting and it was well worth the $10. One gets to chose 5 from a list of 10. The bartender was quite helpful and quite cute and attentive. I tried carambola, coco-vino, mango, guava, and passion fruit. They were all generous pours and we had to enjoy the beautiful scenery for awhile before I was comfortable driving.

    We planned a birthday party at this place and NEVER AGAIN!! They say that there's NO COVER CHARGE before 6:00PM. What they DON'T TELL YOU is that if you come BEFORE 6:00 PM and stay, some A$$H0LE by the name of DAVID goes around CHARGING you a cover. Furthermore Davis was a SMARTA$$ claiming "The website says so because HE was the one who put it there". He kept on arguing and only not to ruin a birthday party we ended up having to pay. We will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!! I've never been so insulted in my life!!! He even came back to show me where the website says there's a cover after 6:00PM. When I tried to state the example of "If you hear a radio commercial that says No Cover Before a Certain Time that DOES NOT MEAN they will charge you if you got there early" to what he said "We're not a radio station". BEWARE of this place. We have 17 people and their families who will never come here again. Good job DAVID so-called-general-manager!!!

    Cool place. Creative winery. I wish they would do some meat and cheeseboards that would be a big plus. Props to whomever took the risk on building a winery in Miami. Wine is ok, beer is good, nice ambience.

    Great place! Even though it's a winery, you see families there with young kids. Very family friendly, good for a date night, or just a night out with friends. Their karaoke nights are so much fun. BEAUTIFUL scenery. I recommend doing the tour. It's a one time deal, not much to see, but you still enjoy yourself. Another bonus is that you can bring your own food! I've seen people bring full meals :) definitely a bonus. Tons of outdoor seating! never had trouble finding a place to sit. They do have crackers and cheese and a few other the things for sale. The times I've gone, they've had a BBQ going on. Not sure if that's all the time. Overall great place! The staff is great!! :)

    ....................for snobby winos this is NOT a proper winery AND if you're budget allows you to enjoy the spa at the BILTMORE in CORAL GABLEs i would not advise this place BUT if you combine the two (a real WINERY and the BILTMORE) and make the result a budget saving opportunity then this is the place indeed NO it is NOT convieniently located near ANYWHERE but it is worth the trip IF you want to try something different and enjoy adventure minus the luxuriant parts the waterfalls provide a contant soothing mellow background sound that begins to seduce you in and the high walled protective surrounding perimeter seperation sections off the outside from the facilities inside - so you do feel like you've entered a special place and upon finding the bar i said to myself i'm gonna like this place the added feature is the people who answer ALL the questions, and serve the tastings, and guide the tour, and work the gift shop and retail wine counter and here you have TWO choices 1) either do some preliminary research beforehand or 2) go cold and rely on the people at the place to assist you - which is basically what i did and as the wine tasting progressed i felt less and less inhibited about asking questions, and learned the staff is indeed educated and knowledgable, and very very helpful - maybe the unique product and location makes the product and facility sell itself without promotional assistance from the people, but i never felt i was being sold something or being pushed i did observe that the more advanced experienced visitors and those who must have made multiple excursions here, were prepared with loose comfortable clothing, and coolers of food, and apparently, previous pleasant experience(s) to make a whole day of it here, and including the tasting and the tour, i myself spent four very relaxing and pleasant hours, only having the burden of a solid hour ride home to consider was i forced to depart the cost for TWO included a special tasting, an ultimate tasting, a tour, including TAX was $31 and we added a $10 TIP the splurge was for a bottle of passion fruit wine ($18) and a bottle of grand reserve sparkling wine ($29) which MIGHT BE MORE souveniers than new wine "finds" or maybe the second tasting at home will renew my sense of adventure i can only compare that this once happened to me on my first time SKIING and as much as i ranted and raved about the blast of an experience on skis i never went back since, and forty years has now passed me by on that promise to return, HOWEVER there were indeed those who i saw there who were regulars, and i can't say that i fault them in any way - i am however to old now to ever go skiing again, i might just return sometime soon to SCHNEBLYs i just have to give it a FIVE because, once i understand what it is, i have to admit it is very very good at it - but i can also understand anyone that doesn't get it as a winery or a fruit product(s) lined up with the wine industry grape

    Went for the first time with my cousin from a groupon purshased. Did the wine tasting on a friday night which is also Kareoke night. Place is beautiful even if it is far for anyone that doesnt live in homestead. When we got their we went straight to the wine tasting bar. Got our glasses and to choose five wines from a list of thirteen. I choose AvoVino, Carambola, Mango, Cat 2 Hurrican Red and Passion Fruit. Favorite were Cat 2 and Passion fruit. Wont recommend AvoVino or Carambola to anyone. If you go eat before you get there or bring food because they dont sell food food there. I bought $12.00 cheese and crackers. After tasting my cousin and i bought a bottle sat outside and watched the kareoke performances. We had a blast the only thing well change is the food and maybe bring bug spray. I dont know what the normal charge is because i had the groupon but i know they have info posted on the website.

    So exciting! We have a winery in Miami. Not a bad deal! Located in Homestead it is a tad bit bar from Broward but so worth the drive. First off it's not a typical winery, all the wines are actually fruit wines. Infused with guava, coconut, lychee, carambola. If you go i recommend the wine tasting. You get a souvenir glass and get to try 5 different flavors. My two favorites are the cocovino and the cat 3 hurricane (a mix of multiple flavors) Besides the wine they also have Beer! You can do the beer tasting, again with a souvenir glass.But hands down the best one is the coconut flavored one. Try it, i'm telling you you will not be disappointed. The winery itself is beautiful. They have a beautiful garden with a really pretty waterfall / pond filled with coi fishes. If you haven't been you NEED to go!

  • J R.

    Absolutely loved it! I live in South Broward and it was a good 1hr+ drive, but sooo worth it! I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed their wines, considering they are made with solely fruits, no grapes. As soon as I saw the avocado wine, I said, "uh, no...how in the h-ll is that supposed to be good - it goes in guacamole!!!" Oh. My. G-d.....delicious!!! I did the ultimate tasting and determined my favorite was the Cat 3 Hurricane. You can bring your own food, but they also have a deli where you can buy sandwiches and stuff. They had barbecue style food the night we went. It was reasonably priced and very tasty! They had live music from 6pm to 11pm - the band played everything from dance, R&B/hip-hop to salsa and merengue. My only complaint would be not of the winery itself, but of the "parents" that think it's OK to bring their children. I have 2 small kids (7.5 and almost 4) of my own and I would never bring them! It's like bringing your kids to a bar - yeah, calling DCF!!! These "parents" that did bring their children, weren't even watching them, so they were running around like maniacs and bumping into tables and people. Adults are there to have a good time...without their or other people's kids!!! Schnebly shouldn't allow children under the age of 12 on the property after 6pm (when it gets really good) and parents should know better than to bring their kids to a place where all they serve is alcohol. Maybe it's a good thing they are so far from where I live. Otherwise, I'd be there every weekend and have a serious drinking problem, lmao! Now, stop reading this review and friggin' go to Schnebly...and please don't be that a-hole parent and bring your kid(s)! =D

  • Robert D.

    I agree with Justin T the previous reviewer. This place is a complete waste of time. Its out in the middle of no where and the wine is mediocre at best. I personally thought all of them tasted awful with the exception of Hurricane WIne. Even if you go using a Groupon the best thing you will get out of an evening here is a semi nice wine glass that is yours to keep. Then again I would hesitate using it and being subjected to questions from family and friends who want to know about my experience here. Some of the reasons I rate this place so badly Location its like your at a friends backyard(if they have a nice backyard). Thats all it is a nice backyard. Value You have to pay a cover charge to get in and then pay again for the wine tasting. The actual wine tasting which was unorganized and chaotic. Its the equivalent of being at a club at 1am going up to the bar and tying to get the bartenders attention. Do yourself a favor if you like WIne go somewhere else. Miami has plenty of other wine events and tastings that are way better then this one. If all else fails go buy a bottle at Publix and take it home with you. I guarantee your experience will be better!

    We finally did it. We finally made it down here. We've been talking about coming down here for awhile and even have 2 expired groupons to prove it. The drive down has an old country feeling. The winery is nestled in between several nurseries. So dont expect to see much on your way down just a whole bunch of plants. Walking up to the entrance, we were greeted with 2 huge nutcrackers. Btw I love the holidays. You have the option between paying for a tasting and/or paying for a tour. We did the tasting. If you keep your glass, you get a discount the next time you visit. The 1st thing I saw when I walked in was Lychee wine. They have various nontraditional wines like avocado wine?! But don't knock it til you try it b/c it wasn't bad. Its definitely worth the drive.

  • Jasmine R.

    Enjoyed my visit here! Enjoyed tasting the different wines, although I don't remember having any cheese to go with the samples! This place would be an awesome place to take a date to. I personally thought it was pretty cool how they had areas set up so you could bring your own lunch/dinner, candles, etc.. to make it as romantic as you wanted! Would definitely go again!

    We ordered $900 worth of wine in mid February and as of late April, it had not arrived. We contacted them and they did not even have a record of the transaction. They demanded to see the cc statement in order to refund the purchase price charge. The customer service reps are "not ready for prime time players". One fellow's even told me "Sir...I am not responsible for your problem". Will not purchase from them in the future.

    We enjoyed the incredible tropical habitat and talking with the very friendly bartender. Of the beers, the IPA was our favorite. The others were rather fruity. We bought two wines - the coco vino and sweet avo vino. The coco vino was way too sweet and fruity for dinner and did not pair well with fish as described. This brewery/winery has a lot of promise and is very beautiful - Miami needs more of these!

  • Tara J.

    Ventured out to Homestead specifically for Friday night wine tasting followed by karaoke. We never made it to karaoke! :) We bought the wine tasting AND the beer tasting and really preferred the wines. Having toured a plethora of wineries multiple times in Oregon, Washington, and California, I put Schnebly right up there with the good ones in terms of the grounds, savvy wine experts, and the layout of the tasting area. This place is a WIN in my book! My favorites were the CocoVino (total coconut finish) and the Category 3 Hurricane. Schnebly was running a Thanksgiving special where you can get a case of wine for $10 with the purchase of a regular priced case, but we ended up just buying 4 bottles among the 4 of us. None of us were really fans of the beer. Personally, I'm a dark beer girl, and there weren't any true dark beers. The darkest had a coffee flavor, which wasn't bad, but the flavors of the beers just didn't do it for me. This IS a winery after all, so stick to the excellent fruity wines! There is no restaurant on-site, but Schnebly offered a BBQ to coincide with karaoke starting around 6 or 7 pm. They offered the typical meaty BBQ fare of hamburgers and dogs, so if that's your bag, you'll be really happy. The grounds here are BEAUTIFUL so if you have a chance, make some time to purchase a bottle and sip it out at the tables by the grass. They do have little snacky foods you can buy to go along with your wine, and spending a couple of hours here can really provide for a fun and relaxing afternoon!

  • Jessi T.

    I love this place! It's one of the few places to go wine tasting in the area, plus they make their own exotic wines like "passion fruit" or star fruit. Their prices of their wine seem kind of steep to me, but the place is beautiful and their prices for wine tasting are not bad at all! Their property is gorgeous, seriously.. I would love to see a wedding here because it must be great. There's a waterfall, tiki-huts.. it's very tropical themed and rightfully so! Definitely check this place out or come on a Friday night when they have special events! It's worth it! I've also heard they started a beer line, however I haven't tried it yet... but I'll be on my way!

  • Ana G.

    This place is a little heaven...I love the fact that you ca go and disconnect from the real world, it almost seems as if you are taking a road trip to another state, it is far, but well worth it. The wines are different and the beers are great, I would definitely make this a nice place to visit when you just want to relax and spend quality time with your better half or friends. It is also a good place if you have little ones, they can run around and play while you sip on your vino... Tip: do take your items to munch on, the food is not that great and a bit pricey... you can save a couple of bucks by taking your snacks.... Keep an eye on Groupon or living social, they have great specials going on.... A raise my glass to Schnebly...

    What a waste of time! This so called winery was a joke from start to finish. First of all, the place is in the middle of nowhere. I had been hoping that the ride out from Miami would be worth it, but in the end it proved to be a huge disappointment. After the ridiculously long car ride, we got in line to pay for our tasting and tour. Once we made our way to the bar, we ended up waiting 10 minutes for the sorry excuse for a bartender to even acknowledge us. He was so hung up on these three girls that he simply ignored us. Eventually, the bartender from the other side of the bar came to help us out and treated us very well. Unfortunately, the service that the other guy gave to us didn't make up for the fact that the wine was just a grade above awful. Only a couple wines stood out, like the Hurricane 3. We actually bought a bottle with a credit we had. Once the tour started, bad turned to worse. The tour guide looked like he had just woken up; his hair was a wreck and his clothes hanging sloppily off of his body. He ended up talking so much on the first part of the tour about such irrelevant things that we snuck away from the tour once he tried to make a lame joke about his over-active bladder . . . Yes, he really did. Anyway, the place was a bust for my boyfriend and me. We have been to a lot of wine tastings and another vineyard, so we were a little prejudice because of far better experiences we had already had. However, some people seem to have had great experiences here, though. If you go, I hope you are one of them.

    We decided to play tourist for the day and hit the Coral Castle, lunch in Homestead and then figured we'd give this winery a try. This just wasn't for us and I happen to love fruity sweet wines but I found an underlying "petroleum" taste to all the wines that was exactly the same so I'm assuming it comes from the process in which they make their wines. I was excited to try the Mango & passion fruit but they just didn't live up for my palate. It was a nice afternoon, it is a beautiful property and a fun experience. I think if you are making the Florida tourist rounds of South Florida it is still a cool thing to do. I'm giving it 3 stars simply because the property is gorgeous and the experience of saying you tried wine made from fruit in Florida.

  • Ben C.

    This little place is up to really big things! The wines here are all infused with local fruits like starfruit and even avocado. They are totally unique and are so refreshing and so Floridian! Schnebly's is now brewing their own beer too! They started brewing their one of a kind beers in a true island style, and it's fantastic! I only hope they start rolling them out in my area soon, that hour drive home es no bueno after a nice day at Schnebley's. Also look for their CAT I, and CAT II wines at Walgreen's in the SoFlo area.

    We came here during the week and during the day on vacation. I think that coming here on the weekend would be a different experience because there would be way more people (it was pretty empty with only another couple and a group of people seated outside), we could have gone on the tour of the facilities, and it seems like they have some fun stuff going on like music and dancing on weekends. But, despite the fact I wasn't there to see this place at its best, I had a blast and I was so happy being there. If you bring your own wine glass from a previous visit, you get a discount. The person I came with had glasses for all of us so we were able to do that and make a nice little trip out of it. We came here just for wine tasting and also purchased some cheese and crackers to go along with the wine. The tasting is pretty cheap ($9.95) for 5 tastings. The ambiance is pretty too. It's fun to take pictures outside by the fountain and inside at the bar. The service was friendly but there was only one person working the register and the bar so it was a bit slow. The cool thing about this winery is that none of the wines are made with grapes. And yes, I had no idea that that was possible either....the definition of wine can be broadened to include any fermented fruit beverage...go figure! My favorite wines were the ones made with guava, mango, and lychee (I like sweet wines). I didn't particularly like the idea of avocado flavored wine and so I skipped tasting those. One person I was with loved the wine so much that she bought two bottles to take home because she couldn't decide which one she liked better. The parking is not a problem here because there is a lot. The place seemed to be in the middle of nowhere though so if I had been driving I would have made sure to get really good directions as not to get lost.

    Friday nights = live music, Christmas lights, and wine tasting. It's a relaxing escape from, well, south Florida. Because they mostly have fruit wines, the options are pretty sweet - oaked avocado is the best bet for people who don't like to drink their desserts.

    (5)

  • Jessica A.

    This is a fun place to visit on a bored weekend. The wines are very sweet, being that they are fruit based, the price for a tasting is very reasonable. My major complaint being that the "tasting" is very disorganized on a crowded weekend, with two employees catering to a cramped bar. Atmosphere is picturesque. The best part for me was splitting a bottle of our favorite outside after the tasting.

    Cool place to BYOC. (bring your own crowd). This place makes various types of fruit wine ie mango wine, kiwi, etc. and not your traditional grape wine ie chardonnay, merlot, etc. Something different one thing I was told is that the shelf life of these Schnebly wines in the bottle are about 14 months at best. So drink up!

    This place also offers tiki hut weddings from 65 to 300 guest. You can also choose their courtyard for a wedding ceremony. It's a great location for a couple looking for a unique tropical venue. They even offer signature drinks made with local produce.

  • Patrick L.

    Come on, people. I hear some complaining that Schnebly's tropical fruit wines aren't "real wine." Well, these people are wrong. Per generally accepted definition, wine is simply a beverage derived from fermented fruit juice - typically from grapes, but not necessarily! Taking the tour, I found it interesting to learn that many of these tropical fruits do not yield enough juice, or even fermentable sugar, to get up to the typical wine texture and alcohol level. So, yes, sugar is added, but before you start bashing Schnebly for this, keep in mind that in some cases, nearly all of the sugar will ferment out, converted to alcohol by the yeast. For the beer crowd, rest assured, adding sugar is exactly the same way most of your favorite Belgian Tripels get up to such high alcohol levels, while landing quite dry on the finish. Schnebly's "Dry Avocado" and Oaked Carambola table wines and "Grand Reserve" bubbly are examples of this - all very dry. In some of the wines, a percentage of residual sugar is retained - these will be your sweeter wines. Their "Sweet Avocado," Lychee and Guava wines are among the sweeter table wines, and of course, most of the dessert wines are undoubtedly sweet, as would be expected. It's utterly pointless to try to judge these wines against your favorite Oregon Pinot Noir, so please don't bother. You might as well try to judge bourbon vs. Scotch. I was lucky enough to do both the regular tasting and the dessert wine/bubbly tasting - pretty much tasted all the wines. Some, I'd had before, but many I hadn't. I found something to like in all the wines, but my favorites are the Cocovino, Carambola, the Boo-Boo dessert wine, and the Lychee Dolce. Both the tastings come with a glass, so I left with a couple nice stems, one featuring a large bowl, and the other a sparkling/dessert wine flute. Not a bad deal at all. The beer tasting was shut down for the day due to the fact that they had a large group in the night before and pretty much ran out of beer. They were still pouring the Passion Fruit IPA, though. I thought passion fruit was a good addition to an IPA; really, most of these tropical fruits would be, since many American hop varieties already carry some tropical fruit character with them. In this case, the fruit just augments the hop aroma, and leaves a tart (but not sour) edge that I welcome as an added complexity in an IPA. The tasting room itself has an attractive, classy appearance to go with the clean, well-manicured grounds and well-tended fish ponds. On a recent Sunday afternoon, however, it was jammed to the gills. You'd best stake out a spot at the bar, and do not leave under any circumstances. Given how far south and west this place is, I was more than a little surprised at how popular it apparently is. I was expecting a modest crowd on a nice Sunday afternoon, but I wasn't expecting throngs of tourists and a party atmosphere. So much for this being a "well-kept secret" or a "hidden gem." If those days ever existed, they have long passed, because this place is popular. A must-visit during a day out in South Florida's farmlands.

    Whoever doesn't like this place is clearly insane. Where else in Miami can you get wine tastings of some of the most exotic, unique wines such as lychee, avocado, carambola, and passion fruit? No where! Bottles are available for purchase and then you can sit outside with your group enjoying the wine. This place has it all. The ambiance is a chill outdoorsy type place with live music on Friday nights where you can just kick back, drink wine with your friends, and shoot the sh*t.. I sincerely enjoy this place. Plus, they let you bring outside food if you want to bring your own cheese or what not. The only thing I must mention is that they close super super early (like 11pm or midnight) which makes it dangerous to drive home. Make sure you bring a D/D or just have, at most, one glass of wine (which is no fun). They kick you out right at closing time and you have no choice but to leave =(

    Location: 3.5 stars. It's in the middle of farmland (Homestead) Atmosphere: 4 stars. It has a beautiful outdoor decor with a waterfall and ponds full of many koi and some gigantic ones. You can also bring your own picnic food and eat at the tables and chairs. Service: 5 stars. The workers are very friendly, and gave us a good background on the winery as well as on each of the wines we tasted. THe place was started by a distributor company that found itself with excess fruit or fruit that was too ripe to sell. Wine: 3 stars. Unfortunately, despite me wanting to enjoy the uniqueness of these tropical fruit wines, I just couldn't help but be a lil disappointed. They're ok. My favorite was the avocado wine. The avovino (dryer version of avocado) was ok, but I couldn't catch the taste of avocado. It tasted more like a pinot grigio to me, which is fine, but I was hoping the "title" of the wine to shine. The passion fruit wine was just way too sour for me. The lychee and mango were also good, a bit on the sweet side. I would have loved to try the lychee champagne, but unfortunately that wasn't one of the choices allowed for Groupon. All in all it was a good adventure, venturing down to Homestead for a wine-tasting experience in Florida where you don't usually find vineyards. Great deal with the Groupon b/c we were able to pay $25 for two, where you each get to try 5 different types of wine, get 2 free wine glasses, and $15 credit (which is equivalent to getting a free bottle of wine). I probably would not go down again, as I am from California, and this trip confirmed my preference for grape-based wine. However, i would recommend to people looking for things to do outside of Miami.

    The place is absolutely beautiful, especially at night or on a beautiful sunny cool day. They have the largest Tiki hut I have ever seen and a waterfall for some good pictures. The wine is at best okay. Some love it and some can simply drink it because it is there and there are no other options. Prices are high for bottles but very native South FL for a northern friend. The drive is too far out in no man's land. The food selection is sad. I would think they would really step up their chesses to pair with the wines and have a good selection of crackers, breads and fruits. Chocolates would be nice too. You can bring in your own food if you like. I am going to go back on a Friday night as I hear that is a lot of fun.

    Where had Schnebly been all my life? My dad introduced me to this place about a year ago and I can't stop thanking him. Although it is a bit of a trek out to the middle of nowhere, after that first time it really doesn't seem that long anymore. You already know it's going to be worth the drive. The wines are non-traditional as none of them are actually made from grapes. They use tropical fruits like carambola (star fruit), coconut, lychee, mango, and they even have wines made from avocado. Wine tastings are available all day, everyday and are just $7 for a table wine tasting and $8 for a special wine tasting which include dessert and sparkling wines. What's the best part of the tasting you ask? You get to keep the glass they give you, and every time you bring it back - free tasting! Once you've finished your tasting you can purchase a bottle and head outside to sit and drink by the waterfall and listen to music play. You can also purchase crackers, cheese, and meats to pair with your wine but these are all a little overpriced. You can bring your own food though so pack a picnic basket and make a day of it. Favorite wines - Lychee, Passion fruit, Sweet Avocado (don't knock it till you try it) This is the best place in South Florida to just escape the madness and enjoy some good company, good wine, and beautiful ambiance.

    Awful experience! Complete false advertisement. First off, I don't consider wine made from mango and guava to be wine. My fault, I should have looked into it more. I guess I took it for granted, coming from California where we frequented wineries on a Sunday afternoon with the family all the time. To start, I trucked the entire family the 1.5 hours down here to be completely disappointed almost immediately after walking in the door. I called ahead of time and asked if we could bring our own food, which we could, just no beverages, even water...I get it, they don't want you bringing in outside wine and so on. Makes sense, most wineries have the same policy and we were happy to comply. So we packed up a few snacks to pair with wine ie... olives, cheese, crackers etc... As we walk in with our thermal bag in tow...we are practically accosted at the front door by an employee. Mind you, the main areas as we walked in had about 50+ people in it and she yells, practically at the top of her lungs as she is b-lines it towards us "Sir! you can't bring coolers in here"...first it isn't a cooler it's basically a lunch bag and I called ahead of time and there was no mention of a "cooler." You would have thought we had a bomb by the way she treated us. She made us take all of our food out and transfer it to a brown paper bag. Really? You can't just take a look into the bag to make sure there are no drinks in there? Ugh! If we hadn't driven 1.5 hours to get there and is my nieces wasn't looking forward to a hot dog so badly we would have turned around and left. We didn't bring enough for 6 of us to make a meal because they advertised BBQ on the property. Well, if you call a guy in the back throwing some Costco hot dogs on the grill and charging $6.50 a pop a BBQ then I would have to call you a liar. Not only was the BBQ pathetic but as we arrived at 1:30, they hadn't even started setting the food up yet. The website said 12:00-4:00...they barely had it going by 2:00. We sat down at an outside table and started getting settled in and laying out our spread of olives and cheeses and just as we got comfortable a gentleman walks over and tell us the we cannot have the umbrella to our table open because it was too windy...um if it was too windy we wouldn't have sat outside as all of our stuff would fly away dude....it was a nice comfortable breeze. When we asked him why? He told us that it was "common sense"...really? That is how you treat your customers? Are you calling us stupid that we don't have the common sense? We were all seething by this time with all these stupid rules and my mother in law says (love her) "where are all these rules you speak of posted?" We pack up and move to an indoor table and again got settled in. After buying a disappointing bottle of what they called wine (more like fruit punch) we decided to just go for the beer instead. How can they mess up beer right? So we order a taster flight. Once of the cups of beer was legit green, I was like "what is that all about?" the bartender replies, "oh that is still from St. Patrick's Day." Really? You think I want week old keg beer with green food coloring in it? Um No thanks! It gets better, we are having trouble carrying all these little glasses outside so the bartender finds us a box lid from something behind the bar to use as a tray. It was broken and falling apart but it would do for this task. The manager stops us mid trip and asked us if we could return the torn old box lid when we are done with it. Really? You want to keep this? You know what buddy? You can have it! How about you help us to our table, or better yet be a good host and follow us and make sure we are happy with the service and then maybe take the box lid out of our way. Geesh I have never worked hospitality before but I could think of a million ways to have handled a lot of these situation better...I mean it's "common sense" right? Now to the best part, a stray, very malnourished Rotweiler approaches the tent and we as Rotweiler owners walk over to it to pet her and give her some of our food. We were just about to take her home with us. Well apparently this place has no tolerance and came over to scold us for feeding her. Her theory is that if we continue to feed them they will come back. Don;t you see that your customers are all torn up over seeing this beautiful dog practically dying? Nope, this dog was a nuisance to them and they needed to take care of it right away. They recruited the dweebiest guy in the bunch to drag her out into the field and shooo her away. I could have punched him right there. Maybe call animal control. She is a Rotweiler for God sake, she will get adopted immediately if we didn't take her right away. Well that just about ruined it for all of us and we decided to pack up and leave.

    Just a nice spot to go hang out with family and friends. Kids can run around and one is able to bring their own food. Does get a bit too hot in this Miami summers and the mosquitoes are rampant -- but overall just a nice place. I am holding off to go until "Winter". Wines are sweet and the beers are decent.

    I love this place! What a nice little oasis in the heart of the Redland. I have been twice - the first time, I did the tasting. For the price of the tasting (I can't remember how much it was, but it was something totally reasonable) you picked 6 wines to try and a wineglass to take home. The wines were definitely all too sweet for "regular" use (except for the avocado wines), but I applaud them for their inventiveness. The second time, we went with another couple after the "Redland Rallye". The Rallye ended up at Schnebly's and it was a great, party atmosphere. They had a band set up in their outside patio and we purchased a few bottles of bubbly to go along with some snacks that were procured during the Rallye. Fantastic! The building itself is nice and the grounds are just beautiful. If it was closer, I would definitely check out their Friday night event.

  • Vanessa S.

    Damn this place is far, so expect to be there for most of the day. Took my mom for her birthday and she really enjoyed it. For the most part I liked 4 out of the 5 wines. Passion Fruit and Guavino being my favs. The tour was very interesting and the wine tasting was fun. The best part was you could bring your own food! I was very impressed w/ the staff as well. I wasn't able to stay for the night portion but noticed a lot more people enjoying themselves and getting ready to dance the night away. This place would be great to have a wedding in once they build the ballroom they mentioned.

    I've been here a couple of times already (most recently at the World Guinness Book challenge for Guacamole last year) but today was the first time I took a wine tasting. We went on a dull weathered Sunday but thankfully the rain held off and our company were not bothered by the little bit of drizzle in the air. The courtyard here is very nice and neat with lots and lots of shady areas to sit with tables and while away the afternoon. We had a walk around, fed the fish and then we figured that as we were here we should at least TRY some of the wines so we all opted for the regular tasting @ $6.75 each. Now get this...this is an AWESOME deal. Each person gets to sample five wines, but the guys are NOT dicks and if one person checks a wine that nobody else has, then they will give everyone a sample. So all in all between three of us we pretty much got to taste all of their wines (except the sparkling wines which have an extra charge). BONUS is that you get to keep your glass and can bring it back for free sampling next time. Which would be great if you lived just down the street ha ha. The wines were very different and I'm sure not to everyone's taste. My favorite was the regular Avocado followed by the Lychee. The last time I was there I was somehow drawn to the Avocado for some reason thinking it would be the one I preferred the most. I've seen the wines now being sold at Publix and Whole Foods but was always wary of buying them until today when I sampled them all and I DID end up buying a bottle of the avocado. Our bartender Manny was a sweetheart. Funny and informative and kept us laughing with his antics, even though we were fusspots and kept asking him to rinse our glasses. The great thing is, is that they allow you to bring outside food in. BUT NO COOLERS. So Like Marcos said...bring a sack lunch or some bread and cheese and fruit and have a lazy lunch. They do sell cheeses and salami and stuff but it's a little on the expensive side. They have live music on a Friday night but I wish they had music on a Sunday afternoon. That would be so great and a huge attraction.

    This place is definitely off the beaten path but worth the trip! I always get a group together and make a day in the Redlands. If you can I would recommend getting there early before 11am if you're going on a Saturday. It can get very busy! Also if you're from Miami chances are some of your friends or co workers have been here so borrow their wine glasses to get the wine tasting for $5. Older glasses with Miami on them get you a free . If you like to much while you drink be sure to bring your own snacks as the ones for sale are super overpriced.

  • Jennifer S.

    Wow I love this place! I'm very impressed! Such a gorgous place to spend an afternoon... AND with unusual wines. This place is great just to sit in the gardens and watch life pass by. Anyone can come and sit in the gardens for free. If I lived nearby, i would be just like one of the trees on a saturday afternoon. We took a wine tasting sample which cost $6 for 5 samples. however, our guide gave us about 10 samples and we got to keep the wine glass which you keep upon your return and the next wine samples are free. I loved the wines cause their unusual. Not made with grapes but avocados, passion fruit, lychees. Very odd flavors. I love the passion fruit wine. Tastes like a sweet tart. I can definitely come back here and spend an entire day!

  • Alejandra M.

    Love the location! In the middle of Homestead/Naranja - felt like we were a million miles away from Miami. They feature wines that are not made from grapes - because of some legality of some sort. I didn't pay attention. The wine is good. We're finicky and we liked all but 1 of them. And the 1 wasn't actually bad - it just wasn't as good as the rest. They have avocado, guava, star fruit, and so much more. You have to take the tour or get the tastings that they offer. Their prices are very reasonable. The service is uh, I'll call it "rustic relaxed." Everyone else would probably call it "slow." LOL But, they do let you order bottles of wine for your table so you can still get tipsy if they're taking too long between the 1 oz tasting pours. I think we were supposed to have 5 pours but I'm sure we sampled more than 5 wines. We just weren't good at remembering which one we had just tasted... ;) They don't have a selection of food here so don't come expecting to eat. They do have cheese platters with crackers and make burgers and hot dogs on the weekends or was it just Friday night? . On the plus side, you can bring your own picnic basket filled with food. As long as you buy the wine inside. No other drinks allowed. On a Friday night we went with a couple of friends and the entrance fee is ten dollars but you could stop by the Walgreen's or Publix in the area and buy a bottle of their wine which is $10 and get in for free as long as you show them the receipt. One receipt per person. You cannot buy two bottles and put them on the same receipt. I loved that they do this because you practically get in for free with the purchase of the wine. Or you can look at it as paying $10 to get in and you get a free bottle. YOU CANNOT take the wine bottle you purchased inside. Trust me I tried. LOL! That Friday they had Karaoke and dancing. Very lively. They seem to do this every Friday night. You might want to call ahead or visit their website. Fun for a visit. Nice place to bring out-of-towners who don't believe there are vineyards, in South Forida. Cheers!

    I'm glad I went here once, just to see what it's about, but I'd never go back. The staff was not friendly at all, and the area you're allowed to be in without paying for a tour is tiny and feels like a middle school cafeteria. There was a kids' birthday party happening, for goodness sake! Finally, the wines were just not good. Have you ever tasted rancid coconut oil? That's what the coconut wine tasted like. The only decent one was the lychee wine, but I'd rather have real wine any day. What a ripoff.

    So glad I finally drove the distance to see this place ... very very pretty at night. Lots of waterfalls, small bridges, tiki huts and flares. Music, lots of people having a good time - it was fun. I was actually surprised by how many there were, and how they seemed to be regulars. Almost everyone had brought lots of picnic basket food and there were many birthday cakes ... Everyone has described this in detail so I'll stick to my main points. 1) while the crowd was great, I was (like others in earlier reviews) taken aback by how many kids were running around (seemingly unsupervised) in the dark, all over the place. With so many adults around drinking, seriously??? 2) good wines overall - my favorite was the AvoVino. Although I can't see it as anything other than a good novelty, special occasion wine - the price range does not move it into my regular rotation. Plus fruit wines tend to disappear a LOT faster - 3) The tour was ok, the guide incredibly enthuasiastic but I would have liked to have seen more. The cold room was cool though - 4) I thought the hamburgers were ok, but $10 is a lot for hamburgers that aside from being grilled in front of you are reminiscent of the school cafeteria. Oh well, it's a captive audience. Which explains the extortionist prices on the cheeses, etc in the tasting room cold case. A larger variety of food would be good though, for those novice, clueless first timers ... who don't bring their own. 5) My main issue was with the tasting room. Incredibly packed with only 2 people helping out maybe 40-50 at a time. They were nice but so overworked trying to get to everyone. The way it worked, each did a half circle down the line over and over. The tasting was 5 wines. We finally got to the bar after about half an hour. Once there, it was another half hour till we were done. Waiting all that time was pretty off-putting. I don't see why they can't have tiny shot glasses at the ready and give everyone their selections all at once. Others I've been to have done it that way and it works much more efficiciently, imo. 6) Maybe I'll go again once they start selling the beer and making tropical fruit vodkas ... 7) Last but not least, the wine glasses they give out are HUGE~!

    So glad we were told about this place ! What a great afternoon. Really interesting wines (no grapes - all made from tropical and exotic fruits. The staff could not be more friendly, or knowledgeable. They also have a deli counter with some really interesting cheeses (the bleu brie is to die for !), an acoustic guitarist outside on what are breathtaking grounds. Definitely worth the visit ! Visited September 2013

    Let's have wine! What? You want a locally grown wine? No worries, why not try South Florida's unique wines that cannot be found anywhere else? America's Southernmost "tropical" winery. They produce wines out of carambolas (aka star fruits), lychees, mangos, guavas, and passion fruits. It is already becoming a tourist trap due to its popularity, but nevertheless, it's still a great place to visit. My favorite so far is the guava and the mango. $6 5-wine tasting, $6 tour available. The tour is only availabue during weekends. And you even get a glass cup. Bring it back, and you get free tasting! How does that sound?!

  • Hannah S.

    For a sweet, sweet girl like me (at least when it comes to my taste in wines), there's nothing better than a winery whose specialty is tropical fruit. It's like they had me in mind! The atmosphere is an additional bonus, as the waterfalls, palm trees and koi pond make for one hell of a relaxing set up. I'd been here once before for an avocado festival, but we returned recently to enjoy some tastings. The "ultimate" tasting includes five wines, and I absolutely chose the perfect five for my personal palate. The best part is, even if you don't like super sweet wines (which I do), there are plenty of other options. My faves: cocovino, avocado, lychee, category 3. All sweet, all delightful. My companion chose dryer, less sweet wines (avovino, and some others I can't recall :), and enjoyed his immensely. Our server was totally nice, too, and hooked us up with some free tastes. We also got to keep the glasses (which, inanely, say "Miami") This place is what the tropics is all about, and I'd come back anytime. They do have a membership program I'm seriously considering - free tastings every weekend!

    Our own Winery here in Miami !!!! How cool is that!!!! If you've never been, then it's a MUST to put on your list of things to do and go. A small winery but, very nicely done. and for $7 for tasting and keeping the sovenir glass, what's not to like? bring the glass back on your next visit and it's free tasting :) They don't have a restaurant or snack shop, only downfall, but they do invite a Crepe maker and have a BBQ guy come out every Sunday. Check the list of activities there are bands playing, Karaoke nights, and BBQ Sundays. Great place to bring a date and taste wine, relax under the Giant Tiki, you can even bring your own cheese or bread. Definitely 2 thumbs up. There are a lot of mixed reviews for this place, Scnebly's should look at the ratings and acknowledge they have a problem. It may be with a few individuals, but if they plan to stick around customer service is Key. Always. I was one of the lucky ones to have a good experience.

    A hidden gem in the heart of the agricultural area of Homestead. A nice place with a big yet busy wine tasting area, pretty gardens, and plenty of outdoor seating. Despite being a vineyard that doesn't grow grapes, this place offers some nice wine options. I was especially a big fan of the lychee (sparkling) wines and the mango wine. Others are hit or miss, but you can definitely find something for everyone. Overall a great wine-tasting excursion destination with some decent wines.

    my awesome day in the southern part of the county was topped by a stop in schnebly's...i only wish i knew about this place sooner! the wines in schnebly's are fruit based- my favorites were the avocado and the guava. a friend gave us schnebly wine glasses, so we had the tasting for free. we took the tour (it was $7 but not really worth it, IMO) and our tour guide was very funny. he tried his best to speak Spanish & slaughtered quite a few words. the location is beautifully landscaped & has a great feel to it. i can't wait to go back, buy a bottle, and soak in the scenery. ahhhhhh!

    Ah Schnebly's your groupons are great. for $30 bucks you get admission, glasses and wine tasting for 2 plus a $15 credit to purchase something. I've always wanted to go but always passed on the groupon since my boyfriend isn't much of a drinker. Little did i know that he purchased a groupon for me a while back but we never had time to use it. When we finally got to go for a birthday celebration it was packed. Usually when you have an expired groupon the value never expires just the promotion. So we went up to pay and showed our expired groupon, said we had an expired groupon expecting to get the $25 dollar admission waived and some cost off of wine tasting, and instead they gave us 90% of the value (everything except the wine glasses since our friends let us bring theirs) I mentioned it was packed- over capacity packed- Mr. Schnebly serving people kind of packed. Yes I met Mr. Schnebly at the brewery area that night serving and opening bottles, but not working the register which kind of backed up the one person who was... but alas you get the picture. The wine tasting area was full, so we threw our tiniest member into the chaos to merge into a spot. After about 15 we found a spot and our server was able to get to us. I mentioned it was packed right? well they had run out of tasting sheets so we all shared one and kept track of our wines. Since it was so crazy they let us try the entire menu instead of the regular tasting which limits you to table wines, so we were able to try the sparkling and dessert wines too! out of all the wines we tried that evening the sparkling passion fruit and cat 3 won my heart. Oh best part they still let us keep the glasses since it was so busy! after our tasting we still had our $15 credit since we had no clue what wine we would want before tasting but the line to buy wine was crazy so since our friends really wanted to try the beers they brew (yes they brew beer too!) i offered my credit to purchase a pitcher. At the bar they let us try 2 of the beers. One tasted like coconut it was awesome but the others didnt care for it so we went with the sharkbite which was just as good. while we were waiting right behind me was a case of the cat 3 so i picked up on bottle and added it to our tab at the beer bar how nice! Some of our friends brought their kids and they had a blast playing with the other kids that were there which was really nice. we didnt have to worry about what to do with the kids now they have food there you can buy but I've heard its pricey, but you can bring food with you so next time i will be packing a dinner. Long story short version: go with your expired groupon on a saturday night you might get the full promo value. Bring some food, and enjoy the place. Kid friendly if you care to bring them along

    What a cool different wine experience, this is not your ordinary winery this is Miami style. Basically you have choices of wines made with everything except grapes! I know they have Wine tastings or special venues on certain days of week I personally have only been here on a Sunday. No its not traditional wine remember that have an open mind when trying it because it won't taste like wine. I agree with Talia a little sprite here and there makes a tasty drink. Overall extremely cool and different experience. Just dont be expecting some Louigi Bosca Malbec Gran Reserve when you go and you wil be fine!

    We came here again this weekend to do the entire tour, the two tastings (regular and sparkling) and to spend some time on the grounds. The staff was amazing, as always. They are extremely helpful, friendly and seem to go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. Please remember to tip your tour guide and bartender, I am sure they do not make enough for the wonderful service they provide. We started our time here with the 1.30 PM tour (NOTE: tours are only given on Saturdays and Sundays) which was $ 7.00 each. Well worth the money, the tour guide gave a great explanation of the history and wine making process that Schnebly uses. They are also supposedly going completely solar, in addition to the recycling programs they already have in place. Kudos to Schnebly for trying to be self-sufficient! We continued our day with a regular and sparkling tasting (about $ 14.50 each person for both). The bartender was absolutely wonderful - he explained each wine and pairing beautifully, was extremely attentive and even gave us a tasting of a few of the other wines for free. You are allotted 5 choices for the regular and 4 choices for the sparkling...and they are heavy pours, so either pace yourself or spit out the wine. We ended up trying at least 12-14 wines. Our favourites are the dry avocado, the regular avocado, the sparkling passion fruit and a mix of mango/dry avocado that the bartender told us he invented. This is a great place for an interesting date, you will not be disappointed! They also offer fine meats and cheeses for sale at the counter to pair with any bottle you wish to purchase.

    Tell me why do I have to pay $42.00 dollars to get into a place. where I have to purchase their wine and still bring my own food, just to have a glass a wine and listen to music?? I took my family over this past Holiday Season to check out this winery, what a disappointment. When I found out from the Manager that you must prepay to sample wine and he didn't reveal that price. Well that was it and by the way the food that you can purchase there;$9.00 for six Asian Chicken Wings. What the heck are Asian Chicken Wings?? All the wines at Schnebly Winery are fruity not my glass of wine. There is no Merlot or Chardonnay's. A true disappointment after about 30 minutes my family and I left and went to eat somewhere else. They can keep their $42.00 dollars. I will not return, Of yeah you can purchase their wine at your local Publix Supermarket for about $5 dollars less.

    Beautiful place, great on friday nights with live music show.Good place to be relaxed with friends,talking, listening music, eating something(you can bring your own food, cheese, fruit,) The place is far if you live in miami,it is in the middle of nowhere in the homestead area. It worths the trip if you are not picky in terms of tasting & or being a wine conosseur. They are not pretending to be the best wine makers, their value comes from trying to give life to this remote area by bringing tourists & businesses. We brought cheeses, ham, dips, and had lots of fun while we listened to the nice live group of musicians. Good place for easygoing people, families and small groups.

    If it wasn't for the horrible service, I would easily give Schnebly's 5 stars. We love the beautiful atmosphere and artfully crafted beer and wine; however, the consistent poor service makes us question our patronage. The poor service started with the cashiers at the front who looked at us like we were aliens when we asked about the brewery tour and, when we finally paid, stated "that's it?" When they rang the bell and announced the winery tour was about to begin, I asked the tour guide if that also included the brewery tour (because they were marketed separately.) The man rudely answered in passing "they're the same" in a tone that implied I was stupid for asking. After taking the tour with the young man who was cocky enough to make sure everyone knew his phone number was not available, we continued inside to enjoy the delicious beers that we came for. Not only did it take several minutes to get the bartenders attention while they were texting on their phones, but also we were denied purchasing a growler to go because they abruptly "shut down" the register. We were told to go wait in the line at the front to pay there (which was a 20 minute wait in the first place when we began our wonderful experience.) For 3 years we have been driving 1.5 hours to Schnebly's for their great products and atmosphere, but every time we are sadly disappointed by the lack of service from careless kids. We hope to see a friendlier, more attentive, and knowledgable staff in the future as this institution grows.

    I've been here a couple of times. Personally, it is worth the drive & my favorite wines are the Lychee & Category 3 Hurricane. The customer service, atmosphere & complete experience is memorable. Great to enjoy with friends, family or just have a picnic outside while enjoying the cool breeze. I strongly recommend thiabplace to everyone!

  • Grey S.

    This is a wonderful place to visit. You can bring your own food and have a picnic on the beautiful grounds. My wife and I usually do that and do a wine tasting at the same time. Once you buy your first wine tasting, you get them free for life as long as you bring back your glass (which is a nice wine glass engraved with "Schnebly's.") They also have beer, which they brew from tropical fruits. The two downsides are that the beers and wines are very sweet and that the place is very busy on the weekends. If you are a Miami local though, there is no excuse for not visiting this place!

    Nice place but too long of a drive for me to go back regularly. If you like wine then this place is for you. Definately a cool little field trip. Guys don't worry there is beer. My favorite was the coconut but the guys in my group loved the Guava. Another cute date idea, also good for groups and good for the pocket since you can take your own food.

    We were looking for something to do today so hopped in the car and asked GPS lady for recommendations of places to visit. A winery here in South Florida!? You bet. We went after lunch to check it out. All the wines are made from locally grown fruits. We enjoyed the tasting of the mango, carambola, avocado (YES, avocado!), and lychee. My favorite was the lychee. You can bring your own picnic food, purchase a bottle and enjoy it under the chickee hut. We did the tour to learn about the process of making fruit wines. The guide was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. We were there mid-day so the music we heard was piped in, but there are live music events in the evenings. For sure will pack some food for our next visit. What a nice way to spend a beautiful afternoon. The out of town guests will surely appreciate a visit here. Take them.

    This place is wonderful!!!!! Their wine is the best!! My 3 favorites are: 1.Category 3 hurricane 2. Lychee 3. And Mango They are soo fruity and yummy!! I go through a bottle as if I am drinking juice and then wonder why I feel funny. If you haven't gone yet I highly recommend you do!! you can bring your own food and have a picnic as long as you buy the drinks there, It is such a beautiful place.We have done 3 wine tastings there and I am a little bummed that the lychee isn't part of their tasting menu anymore but oh well, that is just the perfect excuse for me to buy the bottle.If you have kids it is the perfect place to let them run around while the adults hang out. Also If you take your own Schnebly wine glasses to the tastings it is half off! (Yay for me and my collection of Schnebly glasses Lol ) .

    As the natural course of things goes... all good things must come to an end. This place used to be such a great place where you could pack yourself a lunch and come in and buy a couple bottles of their wine, sit back, enjoy the live music, and let the afternoon drift by. Now they dont even open the back part to the public and scold you if you mistake them for their former selves and walk in with a lunch bag (heaven help you if there is a baguette peaking out of the top of it lol). And,if you dare take out the 'old' version of their wine glasses you will be told every two minutes how you should get one of their new cups because 'takes the flavor of the wine to a whole different level'. I'm not disputing that, I'd just like to not be pushed into buying another glass every time I make eye contact with an employee there. What a total disaster this place was on our last visit a couple of weeks ago. I'll probably never go back there now. And its such a shame because it used to be this really lovely place. Oh well.

    This is a very beautiful place with some great creative wines! The location is in the middle of nowhere but this seems to be a trend with lots of wineries.

    Really nice surprise that we have this place in South Florida. Gets quite crowded on a Saturday night. They offer a live ban, and BBQ food for sale. If you are a red wine fanatic (such as myself), don't get your hypes up. Their wines are primarily white wines (nontraditional). Regardless if you are a fan of their wines (and now they have a brewery), you can have a good time here.

    First of all, let me just say that I wish I had visited this place sooner. The Schnebly Winery was such a breath of fresh air after being so tired of going to all the "typical" spots around Miami. I went with a couple of friends on a busy Saturday night. Supposedly, it was the night they were debuting their new beers, which I am a big fan of. We waited in line just a few minutes to pay an entrance fee at the door (which is only enforced on Saturdays). As soon as you walk in you cant help but notice the beautiful ambiance in this place. It is very laid back and it's just the perfect spot to feel like you are on a vacation away from crazy Miami. My friends and I were able to sit outside on a breezy night on a wooden deck overlooking a small pond and waterfall near the beer station. Close enough to hear some of the live music coming from the first tent/station. The prices are pretty decent. It's typically around $7-10 for a wine tasting of 5 different kinds of wine. All of which are from locally grown fruits. Very exotic flavors ranging from lychee, coconut, and even mango. My favorite was the cocovino and the lychee. The beer sampling was about $5 and they were also infused with wonderful fruit flavors. I tried the mango, guava, and carmbola. The mango was my favorite beer. My best friend and her sister are actually VIP members (which you can achieve after buying a case of wine (12 bottles) for a reasonable price of $120-$150). They get to enjoy discounted prices, free tastings, free tours, and so much more. I'm saving up some money for the next visit! It would have been a perfect night if it wasn't for the millions of small children who were in attendance for the various birthday celebrations that were going on. Normally, I am not bothered by little running tikes but in this kind of adult atmosphere it just seemed out of place. There were many running around un-attended and bumping into people. Aside from the kids, we had such a great experience here. It really feels like you're in the countryside somewhere on a plantation. It is definitely a good place if you feel like getting away from all of the typical Miami "hot-spots".

    The wine is interesting. I am not a fan of sweet wine or alcohol. This wine is sweet. The wine isn't horrible, it is actually really smooth and has body, but I'm just not into the sweet stuff so I can't really give it more than 3 stars. They also brew beer and have some interesting beer flavors. The place is chill and the people are nice.

    The Redlands area of SW Miami Dade is a unique place. It's farm country and it looks more like the midwest than Florida. A visit to Schnebley's is a nice day trip and it will change your opinion about fruit wine. The property consists of a wine shop/tasting room, the winery and a large tiki covered picnic/event area with a fish pond and a waterfall.. For $10 you can sample 5 different wines. Some, like guava and passion fruit are sweet, but they also make wine from avocado and starfruit that are very dry. They sell sausage and crackers to snack on inside and grilled food from the BBQ outside, but you can bring your own picnic basket. They give tours of the winery as well. If you're in the mood for something completely different, check it out. It's about a 50 mile drive from downtown Miami so you will need a half a day to do it. For motorcyclists, it's a great ride. Not too many cars out there and no red lights either!

    I have known about Schnebly Redland's Winery for quite some time now and have always wanted to go, but the desire to drive an hour to remote Homestead never allowed me to do so. One Friday night, I decided to take the trek south convincing myself that a winery in South Florida was a sight to be seen and that wine tasting, music and karaoke will be well worth it. I must say I am not a city girl; I grew up in the suburbs but I am definitely not a country girl either and a late night drive to the winery was out of this world. It reminded me of the classic horror films when the characters break down in the middle of nowhere and the only person around is the crazed serial killer whose house you stop at and ask to use their phone. It was that kind of drive. But no fear, we rode through the dark lonely night likes G's and finally made it there. I was relived to see the parking lot was packed. After driving for so long and not seeing any cars, I was excited to see that the winery was on and popping. As we entered, music was playing, people were dancing and everyone was having a great time. We decided to head straight to the tasting area to do the Ultimate tasting of five different types of wine and it was jam packed inside. They had two small serving stations; one for wine and one for beer. My only issue was that only about 4 people were serving so things moved slowly. People were also crowding around the stations so it took some time to get in but it was well worth it (unless you are a very impatient person). It was my boyfriend and I, so we decided to taste both the sparkling and table wines. I was not a fan of all of them, but I did love the Category 3 Hurricane Vino and the Lychee so we ended up purchasing a bottle of each; one to drink now and one to take home. After the tasting, we went back outside to find a table. We sat back, jammed to the music, laughed at some of the karaoke singers, got drunk, you know the usual. I had a fun time, got a glass and bottle to take home, and didn't have to spend too much cash. Sure, South Beach is always a good time, but for Friday night fun, this was so much more low key and just as much fun. Plus for "non-wine", wine, it was some pretty great stuff!

    After five years of driving past Schnebly's twice a day, I finally decided to attend one of their Friday night events. I would probably have rated them much higher if I could stand to drink any of the wine they make. I haven't tried all of their wines, but the ones I have tried have been too sweet for me. Luckily for me, they also serve beer. The event I we went was something they do most weekends. They have pretty good bands playing on their grounds and they allow you to bring in your own food. The only drawback is that you have to drink their wine. The band last night was a pretty cool southern rock cover band. Pretty fitting music for the Redlands. So to wrap this up, the wine isn't favorite but the scene there is cool. I will continue going there for my Friday night entertainment.

  • H. D.

    It was a nice place. We did all 3 tastings. The wine, the port/dessert wines and the beer. It's of course a very different flavor from regular wine being that there are no grapes in any of their wines, just exotic fruits. Our favorites were the CocoVino (coconut wine), The Mango Wine, the Category 3 (delicious!), the Lychee wine & Lychee Sparkling wine. There were other flavors like Avocado and some others but I wasn't a fan. The beers were interesting too. We purchased a few items as well to bring back home. I would def. check this place out if you're in the area. The only reason I give this a 3 stars is that I am a major fan of wine made from grapes and of course the taste wasn't the same. The water fall and gardens in the back were beautiful but they did have an area closed off for some kind of event. I would've loved to see the entire place. I heard they do a barbecue in the back around a certain time which is pretty neat too. Place was clean and organized. After your tastings you get to keep your glass that's etched with the Schnebly logo. :)

    Last night my lovely bride and I brought in the new year at Schnebly's Redland Winery. It was the perfect low-key and romantic way to bring in the new year especially considering that I had to report for work at o'dark thirty this morning. After checking in for our reservation we headed straight to the Tasting Bar inside where we found Patrick, an extremely friendly and knowledgeable employee. He hooked us up with some wine glasses and a couple tastings of their libations which I found to be a middle of the line quality of wine. Perhaps it's not fair that I recently returned from Mendoza, Argentina and went on a top-notch wine binge. Schnebly's does have some good wines but they also have some not-so-good wines. My favs were the CocoVino and AvoVino, we bought a few bottles of wine and bubbly (because that's how we roll) and staked out our make-out space/dinner table for the midnight hour. What's Good: - Patrick at the Tasting Bar is easy going and friendly - Beautiful property, I see why people get married there - CocoVino/AvoVino wines are deelish! What's Ugly: - Carambola Oak wine tasted like paint thinner

    What a hidden gem in the middle of no where! Stopped by after having breakfast at cracker-barrel. We bought 2 ultimate wine tastings which consisted of 2 pretty wine glasses that you can take home and a tasting of 5 of their wines for 10.00 pp. WInes were delicious! They also offer tours of their winery if your in the mood for that sort of thing. Very nice hang on a Sunday afternoon.

  • Marcos R.

    This place is terrific. I didn't get a chance to go when they had live music, which would've been great; but you can always buy a bottle or two and enjoy it in the courtyard regardless if anybody is playing live. Most of the wines are sweet, really sweet; which makes it kind of tough to enjoy an entire bottle in one sitting. They do have an avocado wine, and that one is subtle and maybe another type that is mild in flavor as well. Bring a sack lunch with you or some bread and cheese.

    This Place is BEAUTIFUL. but thats it. We went here for my friends birthday this last weekend. I couldnt get over how gorgeous it was. I get in and go to get a bottle of wine to share with everyone. Let me say its INSULTING to call this wine. It tastes like overly sugary juice. Whatever, I dont want to be rude so I keep drinking. In total I had 3-4 small glasses of wine in a 4 hour period. I go out drinking at least once a week and usually my boyfriend and I share a bottle of wine once a week so Im not a light weight or anything. I wake up the next morning and I feel like my stomach is coated in tar. I spent my entire Sunday bedridden with the exception of frequent trips to the bathroom. No headache at all. This is not a standard hang over. I talked to almost everyone that went to the winery with us and lo and behold every single person was going through something similar to what I was. The only ones who didnt get sick are the ones that did only the wine tasting that had 5 little sips. Point being, its two days later and while my stomach is definatly feeling a bit better, its only a BIT. i will never never never drink this wine again. Sorry schneblys

    This was a completely horrifying experience from beginning to start. First I arrive in what seems to be the entrance, only to be greeted by an over-zealous preteen directing me to another, further parking area. There I was met with yet another over-zealous preteen who kindly pointed me in an obvious direction-meaning I'm not sure why he was even there. Once I made my way out of their "parking lot" of grass (in 6 inch heels) I went to the table where they stole 8 of my hard earned dollars. This gothic miserable turd who was incapable of making eye contact did nothing more than piss me off and take my money. I asked where I should go to meet up for my friends birthday (as this was my first visit and I was not familiar). She merely nodded her head towards the meeting area. Even now, in my recollection I'm angry. Lets fast forward to the good stuff. And by good stuff I'm being the most sarcastic I've ever been. Let's not even talk about the "wine tasting". Two weirdos just huddling around a bunch of middle aged women in heat trying to please them all at the same time. But really pleasing no one. Trying to get a seat there was like battling hyenas in the jungle. So I quickly made my exit to skip all that and buy their "wine" before "happy hour" ended. I purchased two bottles of Cat 3. After I was victimized as a result of the "wine tasting" I decided that was one of the more tolerable wines that wouldn't give me goose bumps like all the others. Let's cut to the chase here. I had two days of the runs and a head ache that could kill a small animal. I hated every moment of it, even after I left. Thanks.

    Awesome ambiance, good wine. But when closing time comes, ladies your purse will end up in a black garbage bag. The staff there is a whole bunch of thiefs. They can't wait for the wine teasters to finish parting and steal your purse. You will have to fish out your car keys of the black garbage bags, when the tables are full of empty bottles. BAD EXPIRIENCE, DON'T GO THERE!!! You will have to park in the mud, pay, and have your purse snatched.

    A winery. Can it get more 5 stars than that? Yes it can! With a beautiful courtyard, surrounding waterfalls and only $9.95 to taste 5 unique and ridiculously refreshing wines, it definitely can. I'm not talking grapes. Schnebly is all about exotic fruits. I had Guava, Avocado, Carambola (by the 3rd glass I cannot name the other fruits). There is also a tour you can engage in for about $7. I did the tour and well, wasn't amazed. But then again, for $7, why wouldn't you want to go walk around the property and end up in a freezing room where they store the wine? (great photo opp). I'm giving 5 stars due to taste of wine, knowledge and suggestions of bartender, ambiance and cool dude singing John Lennon tunes outside. I will recommend they up their bar staff as the wait is a little more than unpleasant. I also think that small tapas should be somewhere in their near future. Eat before you go.

    Lovely wine selection, the grounds looked well kept and picturesque, our waiter Jesus was wonderful, and I got a free tasting because it was my birthday, they also had some "deals" when buying wine, they seem to change often but we bought 6 bottles and got one free. I loved the white hurricane cat 2, but many of the others were lovely as well. If your a fan of the dryer wines then you won't like this place they all have fruity notes to them and are mostly white or rose, perfect for my pallet but each his own. The only reason I don't rate it higher is that coming from key west I found the Miami crowd that was clogging up the place on a Saturday highly obnoxious, the winery could have a more organized seating/ waiting situation for crowded times so that I don't get shoved over by some obnoxious city ass, but all in all a lovely experience.

    This review is long overdue being that I've been to Schnebly's a handful of times in the past year. It's the perfect location for a date night, an afternoon with friends or a birthday. I will say though that I went this past Friday for a coworker's retirement party and we got killed by the mosquitoes. In the past, I'd only gone in the winter and spring months. I suggest taking ALOT of bug spray if you plan on going in the Summer. I sprayed myself every hour and I still have about 100 bites. Okay so now onto the wine. My favorite is the Carambola Oak. They've got all types of wines from guacamole, guava, lychee and more. They even have a sparking wine too! Score! Plus they sell cheeses, salamis and other goodies there. Not to mention they allow you to bring food from outside if you'd like at NO extra cost. I promise you...next time you're looking for something to do on a Friday night or on a weekend afternoon (preferably not in the Summer months though) go to Schnebly's. I know it may be a far drive for most (even myself and I'm in Kendall!) but it is just such a gem I think. Good times!

    This place is so peaceful. I went to visit on a Wednesday and it was just phenomenal. It was just relaxing, far enough from my crazy Miami scene, to feel as if I was in a totally different state or even country. It is a bit romantic. The wines were very different. I already knew about the concept but I was definitely not ready for what I was going to try. My favorite ones were the Hurricanes both categories and the Bo-Bo. I could use the guava to cook with. Maybe pork chops. The lychee was good a bit sweet but perfect for a dessert wine. The beers were different not to crazy about them but the experience is worth it. And also to show support to local businesses. I will love to do it again someday maybe on a weekend to get the Whole tour and enjoy the bbq and live music. This part is still on my to-do list.

  • Ozzy R.

    Fruity wine you say. Nope its grape juice with alchohol, its avacado,mango, lychee, passion fruit, and guava as wine flavors. I was a little skeptical about these types of wines but i ended up liking them. A great local to spend the day and feed some fish also. They got some big mutha effers there in the pond!!! DAM!!! We all ended up pretty much tasting all the wines there for $6.00 and got a cool lil wine glass to boot. They also do tours of the locale along with the wine tasting. They server gives you a cool little backstory to the wines you are tasting which is a nice touch. Everyone there was super freindly and welcoming and i look forward to going again to buy some wine.

  • Sandra F.

    On a day trip down to Homestead last weekend I made this a must stop on my list. I am fruity, Reisling-loving wino so the mango and lychee varieties were right up my alley but if you have a more sophisticated pallet you might be disappointed. The outdoor area is BEAUTIFUL. I could totally see having a wedding here surrounded by the waterfalls. You can buy a bottle and some cheese and crackers and have a lovely picnic out there. But if you're not into drinking and chilling there is not much to do. The tasting is only $6 for five wines but the pours are miniscule. Literally one drop each. However, it does give you a good idea of what you like if you're planning to buy a bottle. FYI - saw same bottle I bought at Schnebly's in Publix for $3 less. But the atmosphere on a nice day makes up for it.

    A fun way to spend an evening in Homestead, and surprisingly mosquito-free. The avocado wine was probably my favorite, and the lychee was interesting, albeit a bit too sweet for my taste. Try both samplers, they're worth it. Buy a few bottles for the folks back home too- from Publix. Oddly they're a lot more expensive from the winery. Also, the name is funny. Schnebly's. Haha.

  • Cate M.

    Ugh! Gross! I don't know what other people are thinking (or rather, tasting), but this was the most revolting wine I've ever had. I used to do wine tastings all the time in Virginia, have done some in Spain and France, and a few in New England. I am by no means a qualified wine expert, but I can usually guess if it's a merlot or a pinot noir. And I know what I like and what I don't like. And I DO NOT like Schnebly's wines. My boyfriend and I went with another couple, remembering how much fun we had wine tasting in Virginia, thinking it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. Our expectations were fairly low - fruit flavored wine? Probably fun, like those fruity wine cooler stuff you get at pool parties. We weren't expecting anything amazing, but certainly drinkable. Nope! We honestly compared the aftertaste of one wine to cigarette ash, and the flavor of another to spraying Glade Freshener in your mouth. Out of the four of us, the best we could say for any of the wines is, "This might be okay if we had it with 7-Up... a lot of 7-Up..." If the bottles were $5-10, that could be justified. At $18-30 per bottle, that's ridiculous. The place was beautiful, really beautiful, but we'd never go here again. Also, the kid who was serving us answered his phone in the middle of pouring and said, "Good thing my boss isn't around to see that." And he knew NOTHING about the wines. He even admitted some of them were pretty terrible. Save yourself a trip - really! This is a loooong drive to the middle of nowhere and while it's pretty, you'd be better served buying a $4 bottle of cheap fruity wine at the grocery store and going to a park or something.

    It's a not a bad place to come picnic but a little far removed for the effort. We tried the wine and beer tastings. The beer was hardly palatable. I'm not one to throw away beer but I couldn't finish them. The wine was ok. I give them an A for effort trying to make wine out of fruit vs. the traditional grapes. The tastings were $10 and cheaper if you come back with the glass, but I don't need a drink that bad. Wine prices were very high, $14-45/ bottle for fruit wine. I realize that I am spoiled living in wine country, WA but if it's hard to swallow and leaves a funny taste in your mouth then it's still not really worth it not matter how creative the effort. I recommend trying it because it's interesting but I wouldn't bank on loving it. I'd straight up pass on the beer tasting.

  • Anna P.

    We have been there several times, with kids and without kids. Night and days. We love it. My only wish is that they'd have a hotel near by, because after all that wine, and to drive back, is not easy! We always pick a driver, but that person is never happy! LOL. I love the vibe and the family atmosphere. I especially enjoyed celebrating my birthday on a Saturday night with BBQ and Category 3 Hurricane Wine (my favorite.) One word of advice, take food unless you go on Friday or Saturday nights where they usually offer the BBQ. Otherwise take Cheese and crackers and fruit. Enjoy!

    Took a day trip to Homestead this weekend - and Schnebly's was our 2nd stop on the tour (after Knaus Berry Farm). We got the $6 wine tasting and checked out 5 different wines. I visited Schnebly's years ago, before their huge tasting room was completed- so this time around, I checked out some of their newer flavors. Cat 3 Hurricane, Dry Avocado, Carambola/Oak. Had a fun time checking out all the different flavors. Fun flavors, and the bartender knew what she was talking about. There was a wedding going on, so the outside waterfall area was closed off to us. After the tasting - we got our cinnamon rolls from Knaus Berry Farm and had our impromptu picnic on some of the picnic tables outside. Only 3 stars instead of 4 because the bottles are more expensive than I remember, and I feel like they're more expensive than the same ones I've seen them selling at Publix. I will definitely be back - with a picnic basket full of food to nibble on while chugging down a whole bottle with friends outside. :)

  • Tour A.

    We arrived here after doing the not so long drive from Pinecrest...the place seemed nice and we went in and was greeted by a friendly staff who was restocking wine, we inquired about the wine tour which their website said was on fri/sat/sun..and the manager (God forbid) came over and very matter-of-factly told us we are mis-informed there is no tours on friday but we can stay for the 6pm event(we later found out from the cashier friday tours were cancelled recently because a few ppl quit..I can see why). Her (apparent manager) attitude stank worse than the get up of pink and purple she was wearing and we contemplated leaving, we eventually did the wine tasting and our moods improved, The wines are definitely different but the ones we tried were good, some were a tad bit too sweet but the taste were all exotic and some were even pretty good. All in all I would go back, on a day when that horrible employee/manager/cashier person who seemed to be incharge was not working, she needs to learn about customer service, I dont know how the rest of the staff, that were awesome, cope with her, but I fully understand how they could quit. To the owner customer service is key and when your "manager" is the problem then your business is in trouble, usually employees screw up and managers fix it but your rude abnoxious manager was the major source of discomfort who evidently hold grudges and walked away from the register when we were cashing out the bottles we decided to buy...but thats okay because the person she sent to replace her was so much nicer.. Maybe I will go back for the tour, The place it self was very beautiful and serves for a good day out and about in the redlands, it isnt california so dont go expecting it to be. it is tropical and lovely and the flavors of the wines are just that sunkissed, exotic and fruity!!

    If you ever want to get away from the craziness of Miami. Schnebly is the place to go; especially if you work and play in the city. Karaoke nights ROCKS and they do have a live band that you can dance the night away to salsa, merenge, bachata, or whatever moves you want to create after a few glasses. Trust me when I say no one is watching ;-) just bust a move!

    Scnhebly Redland's Winery in Homestead is a must do while living in Miami when you're looking to try something a little different and off the beaten path. Schnebly's is the Southernmost winery and brewery in the United States. What makes this winery so unique is the fact that they handcraft and produce their wines and beers strictly from exotic tropical fruits and grapes. The winery offers tastings seven days a week and tours every weekend. The most recommended is the "Ultimate" tasting, costing $9.95 per person which gets you your choice of five different types of Schnebly wines. Lychee, mango and passion fruit are some of the popular flavors on the wine list. You can also keep your specially etched Scnhebly wine glass, and bring it back you the next time you return to pay only $5 for the tasting. The natural coral waterfalls, tiki huts, and lush trees that surround you provide a great backdrop for a great afternoon of wine tasting.

    My friend and I love finding little places to to visit in and around Miami and the Schnebly Redland's Winery was a great find. The imbiance alone, which was a secluded scenic and dim lit has live music, was worth the small entrance fee. Then you're able to experience the winery's own interesting selection of wines which includes flavors of mango avacado lychee and other exotic special blends like Category 3 my favorite. Being able to take a smal pinic basket enjoy the cool night air while listening to the live band play was a great end to a long week.

    A little oasis in Homestead FL with a terrific indoor circular bar and beautifully landscaped lush tropical grounds complete with waterfalls and outdoor cafe seating. For $10 you can taste any 5 fruit or sparkling wines and keep the glass. They specialize in interesting sweet fruity wines but the dry wines are ok too. I bought a couple bottles for the novelty of it even though I thought their prices were a tad steep.

  • Raquel S.

    It's worth the drive to schnebly winery. On Friday and Saturday's nights they have live music and you can bring your own food, buy a bottle of wine and make a romantic picnic. The carambola and carambola oak are so good and have a great aroma.

    The wines are absolutely horrid, so horrid it's actually fun. The tour I did I would not recommend to any wine buffs, as you will find out how clueless the guides are, as well as unprofessional and just way too young. The truth is these people should not be making wines. They had a novel (not really, it exists throughout the world) idea, and while I thank them for helping to boost the area, I wish they would put genuine effort into their product. The expansive grounds on which the "winery" is located is quite beautiful and available for lunches.

    I really liked this winery. As part of my Redlands tour yesterday we stopped here and were really impressed. It is a very beautiful place and you can rent it out and hold events there. We did the tour and the tasting and it was $13! I thought it was really affordable. I wasn't impressed with the tour guide..he was just a young kid and if you know even just a little about wine you can tell he really doesn't know his stuff. It just so happened that yesterday they had a chef preparing a nice lunch of paella if you wanted to buy a plate. We already had lunch plans so we didn't but it smelled great! For the tasting they give you a wine glass (which you can keep and get future tastings freee!) and you can try 5 of the wines. Our lady helping with the tasting was nice and gave us an extra cup each :) They also have specialties, like the sparkling wine which you can pay a little more for. I particularly liked the guava and passion fruit and bought a bottle of each. If you buy 4 or more bottles of wine each bottle drops down to $12. So take advantage. All in all a great day at the winery.

    We first heard about this place from our friend and fellow yelper Jonathan C. This place is so unique to South Florida, considering that it is the only winery that exists here. Its was quite a drive for us "Miamians" down to Homestead, but it was well worth it especially since we were in good company. Schnebly's is literally in the middle of NO WHERE. You can take a tour of the beautiful grounds and learn about there history, and how they make there wine for $7.00 per person. May I say that our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions without hesitation. Also for $6.95 you can sample 5 tasting of there different wines which includes a Schneblys monogrammed wine glass you can take with you. Whenever you visit Schneblys Redland Winery again, just bring back the glass anytime and you get a free tasting just for bringing the glass with you. None of there wines are made from grapes, but they are definitely unique most of which are made from different fruits guava, avocados, coconuts, star fruit, lychee's, mango's, etc. You can bring your own food (cheese, crackers, salami, sandwiches etc.), and buy a bottle of wine and pick a spot on there grounds and enjoy the scenery of the small waterfalls, or relax under one of the tikki huts, or on a picnic table out front. What's not to love about this place? Friday and Saturday nights they have a live band that comes to play under there giant tikki hut which is an added extra to this great place. If you are looking to get married this may be a great venue option for you as well, and should definitely check it out. - Melissa Marie

    Great atmoshpere, great wine...FREE entrance. This place is really nice. My husband and I took our wedding pictures here and they turned out amazing! I'm shocked they don't charge a walk-in fee. I hope they never do either. This is a great place to relax, take pictures and socialize with family and friends. They even let you bring your own food!! There wines are so delish that I love to do the wine tasting over & over. And that's only $7!! Great deal! On Friday & Saturday's they have events so check them out if you can.

    The winery is an amazing place; you drive along for what seems like eternity and suddenly it rises out of the farmlands like a mirage in the desert: a gorgeous building fronted by a large fountain houses the wine-tasting area and gift shop where the tours begin. But the true beauty is in the grounds; surrounded by one of the largest tiki huts in existence, an inner courtyard landscaped with tropical plants boasts twin waterfalls bisected by a stone bridge leading to the winery proper. Under the tiki mansion, a corner stage, picnic tables and comfortable lawn furniture scattered throughout with fans to keep the mosquitos at bay. The prices are good: 5 wine tastings for $6 and tours of the winery for $7. Best of all: Schneblys is providing live music entertainment on Sundays now: the Sunday we went the wonderfully talented acoustic folk duo Jennings and Keller were playing, but that's another review!

    This is a tough review, because while it's fun to go there, to take the Redland Tour, and to see parts of Homestead that I probably never would have otherwise seen, the truth of the matter is that the wine is simply god-awful. It's a very pretty location, it's fun to go with a group, to see parts of Miami, to try something different, that's all true. I guess if you have an open mind, try it, just be prepared for some really really bad wine.

    You can come on Friday nights with food, buy wine and hang out and watch music. The grounds are LOVELY. The wine is all fruit based and I liked the AVO and the guava wine. I am not a fruit wine lover. I really think this place is a wonderful spot for people not familiar for all that we grow in South Florida and it is a lovely view of the Redlands which is beautiful in and of itself. A good spot!

    This place really is in the middle of nowhere, and when our GPS failed to navigate us there (it wanted us to drive on Farmer John's tractor "road") we called the winery, with no answer. Finally made it, and received little information about the tasting options even after I mentioned we'd never been there before. We did the wine and beer tasting with tours, which ended up being a $60+ tab. Recently coming back from California wineries, this was a little upsetting. The wines were interesting, with Lychee as the favorite but I would have appreciated info about how the sparkling wines were a different tasting purchase. We also experienced short staffing. The beers were interesting again, but I would not make a special trip here again.

    Not exactly napa valley, but a fun experience. Something very different to do in Miami. Some wines are better than others but the place is vey cool and the tasting was great. You can take food and have a nice picnic in their outside area with some of their fruity wine. Everyone was very nice and gave great service !

    This is the worst wine (and I being kind by calling it wine) that I have ever sampled. Everything was so bad that we made a joke out of our experience. At least we cried from laughing so hard at the effort that they put into this disgusting wine.

    I have been to Schnebly a few times, most recently this past weekend. The grounds are serene and we really enjoyed our visit. I was not too happy that a large portion of the grounds were roped off for private tours but that's their way of making more money I suppose. Unfortunately this past Sunday we arrived to discover the grounds were closed for a private event. We had attempted to access the website before we came but for some rather silly reason you must apply for access and get approval. If we had been able to access the site perhaps we could have known... Not even the Facebook page mentioned being closed for a private affair. Hope they take a hint and do something about this. Post a calendar on Facebook or your website! The wine is good but the staff is inconsistent. Our first visit included a wine tasting. The young man was friendly and knowledgeable. He invited us to walk the grounds with our first glass and return when we were ready for more. But when we returned for a subsequent glass, he had stepped away and the young lady treated us like we were going to skip out without paying. She made a big fuss about us paying up before she would serve us. We are not vagrants, we are 50-something professionals. At that point we decided not to buy the case of Avovino we had intended to buy for home. It's not nice to be treated so disrespectfully by children. This past weekend we bought a bottle and sat at picnic tables in the front yard with our wine, cheese, fruit and crackers to enjoy due to the private party. We decided to buy another bottle to take home and came back inside. One cashier told us the other cashier was "open" but when we walked over to her she was too busy texting on her phone to acknowledge our existence. If I return again, I will call ahead to verify the grounds are open.

    Very interesting. The Schnebly's is under renovation. Right now the tour and wine tastings are half off. When you are done, you get to keep the glass and come back for more. There were 6 types of wines that are currently produced at the Schnebly's. They are all made out of fruits (no grape). Each has its own distinct flavor, ranging from dry to sweet. They will also be at the Harvest Festival on the 17 and 18th. Bring your glass for another "free" tasting.

    If you head over to Shnebly's and are expecting a Napa Valley experience, you should rethink the drive to Homestead. Schenbly's is not your traditional winery, albeit still a unique and fun place to visit. I had the pleasure of visiting the winery this past Saturday when the weather was perfect and the mood was right. We went with an open mind and sampled several of their wines in addition to taking their tour. I was surprised by the fact that I really liked some of the selections they had on hand. Their avocado wine and oaked carambola wine were the most impressive, in my opinion. They were the least sweet and had a lot of character to them. Their garden area is beautiful and is worth the visit in itself. I don't think I'll be coming here every weekend for wine, but it's definitely worth seeking out every now and again, especially when you are looking to get out of Miami, but not entirely out of town.

    We went to Schnebly's for an installment of my staycationing spectacular South Florida-venture during which I an eclectic variety of eccentric or odd or unique South Florida stops. Having never been to Schnebly and it being our local winery I decided it was as good a stop as any and definitely a worthwhile destination. Despite not liking Schnebly's wines (well, I can now honestly say I've found two that I do like and that I'd get for myself), I had a great time. I love the idea of having a kind of oddity among wineries in the depths of South Florida. (They make their wines from tropical fruits, not grapes!) We paid $17 each for a tour of the winery and a tasting of 5 out of 12 Schnebly wines (there are other packages for tasting, this was the one we selected as the most economical and the most reasonable for a Sunday afternoon among us non-wine-aficionados). All in all, it was a good $17 spent. The temperature was lovely for an afternoon in the sun. I will state, with some dissatisfaction, that most of the winery grounds were closed for an event though I didn't see any event occurring (it was a tiki event?). I would've much liked to view more of the grounds which are, by the way, immensely beautiful--a genuine oasis ripe in the heart of the Redlands. Additionally, while the tour of the wine-making facilities was informative and kind of kitschy fun, there were moments where my friends and I came away with the same criticism, "Tremendo pesado." (If I could translate the word "pesado" and do it justice, then I would, but I can't even come close.) Moreover, the tour was *only* of the wine-making facilities. Again, it was informative but I might have liked a tour of the larger Schnebly grounds, particularly on such a lovely day. I could suggest to Schnebly that they script the tour much tighter so that, say, things like, "If the waiter brings you an open bottle of wine without opening in front of you at the dinner table, then bash his head open with the bottle. Go to jail. Get a good, wine-loving lawyer, etc. etc." I mean, c'mon. It's funny but it's not that funny. It's also a winery tour. All in all, I would host an event there like a wedding or something and it's a nice stop to have made ("A winery in the Redlands?!") but I'm not sure it's one of those places I'll "check in at" multiple times.

    It's like a hidden oasis here. This was a totally unexpected find. Great atmosphere, fruit wines, cheeses and meats to pair. Also they have live music on the weekends and it's sooo pretty lit up at night.

  • K M.

    This place was so incredibly beautiful! We had a wine tasting and they had super exotic flavors like Avocado, Lychee and Passionfruit. It is so laid back, and has little tiki huts outside where they play live music on weekends while you drink your wine. Its definitely an experience if you live in South Florida you have to take a trip here.

    nice gardens, waterfalls tiki hut etc.. The beers are all horrible. The wines are exotic ..we liked the Lycheen Cat3, and Guava .. the website is misleading. none of the prices on it are actually true, which caused a bit of disappointment for us. I saw a lot of people bringing their own foods and spending the day in the gardens and tiki huts enjoying the wines. There is no restaurant on the place, which could be a problem. As other people commented, get there no later than 2 pm otherwise it will be too crowded and service at the bar could take longer. In overall, we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves.

    Spent a Friday evening here with my husband. We purchased a groupon special for $25 which covered the entrance fee as well as twosouvenir wine glasses. There was a wonderful live band on the open wooded deck area where you can buy your wine and drink it while listening to some jams. we did the standard wine tasting for $10 we ssampled 6 different wines all tropical fruite wines. You can purchase snacks like brie with Carrs Crackers or mozarella and sun dried tomatos and eat it at the bar while tasting your wine. My favorite? Lychee wine and sparkling wine. we two bottles for $20 with a special going on at the time. The grounds are amazing, nicely manicured and very lush and green. Although we went at night, I would love to go during the day to do a tour as well as enjoy the waterfalls, grounds and good weather while relaxing with a glass of wine. Its a drive way out west and at night it could seem creepy through the streets with no lights but once you arrive its a whole othe world!!

    i went when they were in the middle of the renovation so i didnt see much but i have heard its beautiful now, the wines are tasty, i have to go check it out again and take a tour. you can now buy the wine from publix i know for sure you can at the one on us1 just south of 144th st in palmetto bay.

    First started going to the winery when they opened in a little trailer off from the parking lot. Wow, the landscape is breath taking now with all the improvements. Went for a baby shower back in June. Love the new Avocado wine. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for supporting the Local growers of fruits that you use in the wine. They are open to new ideas and have great customer service. Review suggests it is not good for kids, but I say differently. I have observed individuals bringing in picnic baskets on Friday night events for the kids to eat and they appear to enjoy going out and dancing to the local live music as much as the adults who are their enjoying the wine to include their parents. I think they can be very family friendly. My middle school aged son loved the tour and seeing how the wine is made and stored! Did have mosquito spay on hand back in June, but you have to expect that in an outdoor setting in South Florida.

    What a cool different wine experience, this is not your ordinary winery this is Miami style. Basically you have choices of wines made with everything except grapes! I know they have Wine tastings or special venues on certain days of week I personally have only been here on a Sunday. No its not traditional wine remember that have an open mind when trying it because it won't taste like wine. I agree with Talia a little sprite here and there makes a tasty drink. Overall extremely cool and different experience. Just dont be expecting some Louigi Bosca Malbec Gran Reserve when you go and you wil be fine!

    Came here back in April with my bf on one of our date nights. I love wine so I had been wanting to go to this place for a while. It is literally in the middle of nowhere out in the Redlands. It is also a pretty big place. We purchased the wine tasting & can I just say there wine is awesome! I especially liked the Cocovino & Sweet avocado one. We also had dinner. I had a pesto pasta dish that was very good. I regret not buying a bottle to go. I would definitely be back for another tasting and probably purchase some wine this time around.

    I absolutely LOVE this place. The atmosphere is so fun! The actual facility is so beautiful. The wine tasting was fun. My personal favorite was AvoVino which is like a Sauvignon Blanc. The bartender, Alex, was super nice. We also had dinner. We ordered the pre fixed menu for $40 each and it was good. Although the server service was great, my only suggestion would be to continue to train the servers on getting to know the menu better. I love when I get a server that is very passionate about what he/she is about to offer. I picked the roasted eggplant for appetizer, the lobster and shrimp waffles for entree, and the mango flan for desert.

    This is such a beautiful and fun place to visit! We try to bring our out of town guests here and we have not been disappointed yet! The beer is great, the wine is an experience. If you like sweet, fruit based wines, you will probably enjoy these. They are fun to taste regardless if your wine preferences. The food they have is really yummy, but a bit pricey. Beautiful landscaping, with waterfalls and tropical plants. They usually have live music on the weekends. The staff have always been very nice and knowledgeable. Ample parking!

    I have been twice, but haven't had the opportunity to do the tour. The wines are made from exotic fruits instead of grapes, which is quite interesting. It's in the middle of nowhere Homestead, so it's quiet and very beautiful. The cocovino is my favorite!! It is unique, but delicious and refreshing. The cat 2 and cat 3 red wines were pretty good, as well. There are a couple that aren't great, particularly the mango wine. Overall, it's something fun to do and very relaxing. I enjoy this place and have recommended it to friends.

    Coming here can be fun if you're stuck in Homestead with nothing to do. Not sure I'd ever drive here from somewhere else in South Florida. This place is a bit disorganized. Are you a brewery, a winery, a restaurant, a bar, all of the above? I've been here on more than one occasion and the staff is always pointing you in different directions and making everything more of a mission than it should be. This place is huge, but if you want a beer you must go outside to the "beer bar" in the heat where the taps aren't even producing cold drafts. Want some wine? Go back inside and wait at the awkward bar with no seats. Wait, don't go over there - that's where the restaurant is. And by that, they mean a few tables and chairs set up strangely in the waiting room/lobby area. Need to go to the bathroom? Go outside and around the corner. Want to go on a tour? Ask this guy, who will tell you to go to that lady, who will then give you a time when they're going to come screaming through the lobby like a lost kid at Disney World looking for it's family. Once you're finally on the tour, you better hope you haven't begun drinking, because you're going to be so bored that you may just crawl into a corner of the fridge and fall asleep. Talk about boring. The associates who lead the tours have absolutely zero personality, don't relate anything to real life at all and are just going through their mental powerpoint. It's like that really boring class in high school that you sit through because you don't have a choice but all you're thinking about is the bell ringing so you can get the hell out of there and eat lunch. The wine tasting is a total joke. They let you choose 5 wines, which sounds a lot more glamorous than it is. Really, the guy at the awkward bar pours maybe a tablespoon of wine in a huge tacky glass they let you keep, swishes it around and does it 5 times. Without rinsing the glass in between tastings. I'm no wine snob, but these are all fruity and tailored flavors and when you just refill from lychee to coconut to avocado, it all ends up tasting the same. Who does that?! Just buy a bottle at Walmart and take it home and enjoy it from your own patio. The Miami Brewing Company beers are all pretty good depending on what you're into, but again, pick it up at Total Wine and drink it wherever you want. Oh and the music is TOO LOUD! No one wants to hear your 90s playlist!!

    This isn't your traditional winery boasting of blends from diverse grapes. These wines are products of tropical fruit such as star fruit, coconut, guava, plum, coconut, and avocado to name a few. Thursday was my first visit to this winery, to a winery in general. I don't have many, if any expectations of what a winery should be, but this place exceeded anything that I could have imagined. It was beautiful. That's just my initial impression without doing the full tour. Stepping into the entrance you are immediately engulfed by a cocoon of calm. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the selection of music aiding to it. At the bar, I decided to try their wine tasting which includes your choice of 5 wines from the list provided. The tasting was $13 and you get to keep the wine glass with the Schnebly's logo as a souvenir... How cool is that?! Chrissy who was attending the bar was such a great spirit. She provided background information regarding each wine, even a few laughs. I also believe that if you return to do another tasting and have your glass from the previous visit, your tasting is half off. I certainly had a good time and can't wait to go back. When I do return, I plan to do the tour and possibly join in on the karaoke fun.

    I have visited Schnelby twice over the last year, yet have never done the actual tour - just the tasting. Both of my experiences at the winery were great. Most of the wines are actually very tasty, especially for someone with a sweet tooth who enjoys "fruity" wines. The tasting takes place at a wine bar indoors. They allow you to bring outside food (no beverages) with you, so that's a plus. My boyfriend and I brought some cheese and crackers to enjoy during our tasting, although they also sell some things to snack on there as well. After your tasting you're able to purchase a bottle of any of their wines to enjoy right away. My favorite of their wines is their Lychee and Guava. What I really enjoyed about this place is their outdoor area and ambiance. They have a large tiki hut area with lots of picnic tables and a stage for when live bands perform. There are also high-top cocktail table areas scattered around the property for you to sit away from the tiki party crowd, for a more intimate atmosphere. Both of the times I have gone (once was for Valentine's Day) there has been a live cover band called TreeHouse that was pretty great. They had everyone moving and dancing to all types of music - salsa, pop, merengue, bachata, spanish rock, etc.. If you're looking for a fun place to enjoy some wine and dance with friends and family or even a more intimidate date night - I would recommend Schnelby as an option which caters to both.

    Used a groupon for the wine tasting for our date night. Place was amazing! Wine was fresh and delicious. We got to try 5 different wines each and then got a full glass. We had dinner there- the salad I got was fresh crispy and tasteful with added snapper. The outside was decorated amazingly with lights at night and karaoke for Friday nights. Definitely recommend!!!

  • Dipesh P.

    Great stop while heading to the keys. They service is a little suspect and the wines were a little sweet for our taste but the ambiance and the beer more than make up for it. I went with a group of 4, 3 of us did the wine tasting and 1 did the beer. When we tried to pay we had a few questions on the different tastings and it seemed everyone we talked to just started working there and knew nothing about the different types of tastings! We finally talked to a manager and he was able to actually answer our very basic questions. The wines were all a little too sweet for our taste but if that is your thing you will love their wines. For the beer tastings you try about 4 beers and then you get a pint of your favorite one. And you get to keep the glass! We decided to taste outside in front of the building since we had a small dog with us (they aren't allowed inside our out back in the grounds). It was a very windy day and some of the small taste glasses flew over - not to worry though, when I went inside they were very friendly in pouring us many extra samples which was very nice of them. The woman at the beer counter even had me try several of the beer "blends" where she mixed some of what thy had in tap - truly a cool experience. We didn't try any of the food and we also got to keep wine glasses from the tasting which was cool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a break while driving to the keys.

    I love it here. I would suggest that you make a day trip of visiting this place. It's about an hours drive if you're coming from Broward like I was. Surprised to see a nearly empty parking lot on a Saturday morning. But by afternoon, it had filled up and there was a nice crowd gathered around. On entering Schnelby's you are welcomed with smiling faces and warm greetings. Wine tasting allows you to try 5 different wines. What got me was the unique flavors. Avocado wine, Guava, passion fruit, Mango, Lychee!!! It was a wine lovers haven. My favorite by far...the Avocado wine! Then the Lychee which was smooth and sweet. The passion fruit was nice and tart. There are tours of the winery if interested and a cafe just opened up. Overall a great experience. I say make a day of it cause by the time you're done with the tastings and dining, you'll just want to hangout in the beautiful patio area and listen to some live music. 5 stars!

    Being the "Yelp Daddy"-I must approve and recommend this place. First I didn't even know that Miami had a Winery! Second, the wine actually is creative, mild and flavorful-I don't even like wine but this place is "doin' it right!!!" The history of this place is rich with the challenges of opening a winery in Miami. The Atmosphere is quite beautiful and romantic-Nice breeze at night, well lite, a waterfall and a nice tropical feel. The owner was super nice and he gave us a personalized tour with many funny stories. Great place for a social event or even a wedding! **Note: Great place to take someone that you love-really romantic especially at night but make sure that you got a dope GPA system because it's also super dark and you might get lost and possibly abducted by aliens!

    The 40 minute tour was a great way to learn about this small winery. They only have about 10 employees and bottle everything by hand. We learned about the beer and wine making process along our tour. The tour and tasting is $15. You receive 5 samples for the tasting and you keep the wine glass! Bottles to purchase are $15-20. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The property is beautiful. You can buy bottles inside and then sit outside and drink them. You can bring your own snacks. At night there is a cover charge because of live entertainment. There is plenty of free parking in the attached lot. It is better to visit during the winter when it isn't hot out. It is a long drive from Broward, but a fun experience. All wines are made out of fruit....no grapes used here! My favorite was a wine made with coconut. It was very refreshing. Even the avocado wine was good!

    Excellent place. Their wine is outstanding, and made from very exotic fruits. Try the mango, guava, or passion fruit wines. You won't be disappointed!!! The restaurant is inside the main room and the quality of the food and service were perfect. We even met the owner who was a very nice gentleman and who obviously cares about his business. Though we couldn't stay for the live music, this is the perfect place to spend a fun evening. Highly recommended

    One of the last things you think of when you think of Florida is wineries but, apparently we have quite a few. I went online and found a map with the location of all of them ( tryfloridawine.com/flori… ) I didn't think they would be like the ones in Napa & Sonoma, big fields of grapes and greenery, nor did I expect to find a variety of reds or whites, but was curious when I read that a lot of them are fruit wines. Now, I'm not a fan of any type of sweet drinks but still wanted to try them so, I visited my first Florida winery and loved it. Schnebly is a small place, with a big barrel bar in the middle where the tastings are conducted. You pay at the entrance, according to what kind of tasting you want. The basic, or more common one, seems to be the 5 wines tasting. Once you pay you make your way to the bar and pick the five you want. They have mango, avocado, guava, passion, mixed fruit ones, sparkling (these are in another tasting package), and more. My decision making was based on fruits I remember having as a kid with my grandparents. I had the following: Carambola (Star Fruit) - I've never been a real fan of the taste (not much to it) but have always liked the star shape and always found the name funny (I still do). Needless to say this one was just ok for me. It tasted almost like a Pinot Grigio, sweet. Nothing exciting for me. Sweet Avocado wine - this one is stinky but, don't let the nose turn you away from it. This wine has the buttery/ creaminess of an avocado and it does have a bit of an aftertaste. I think this one would be good with cheese. Guava - one of my favorite fruits growing up, especially when I picked them from my grandmother's backyard tree. The taste of this one is amazingly true to the fruit. It's smooth, refreshing, definitely one you can enjoy at any time. Category 2 Hurricane Red - this is one of those combination wines. This one is avocado and guava. You get the smell of the avocado wine, the color of the guava, and they add a little citrus. It was good but not enough to make me order it again, especially after loving the guava one so much. Passion Fruit - I saved the best for last... I was so excited to try this one. Another favorite fruit, again, from my grandmother's backyard. I remember eating them, drinking them in juice or shakes, having them in ice cream form or desserts. You can't go wrong with passion fruit, and this was no exception. This wine is perfection. It smells and tastes just like the fruit. It's a little tart and sweet, refreshing - better served chilled. I can drink this by the pool, or relaxing reading a book, or a nice day out (or in) with friends. I loved it so much, a bottle was bought. Great thing about Schnebly is that, as small as it may be, it still has a little green area in the back, with a beautiful small waterfall, with Koi fish, and other smaller fish, and plenty of tables and comfortable chairs for you to enjoy the wine, a beautiful day and good company. You can spend hours there and feel like you're on vacation, relaxing. I do wish we had a different server... ours wasn't too friendly, she sounded like a bored broken record just repeating what she was supposed to say about the wines but, good company, the wines and the beautiful outside will make you forget about it and not mind it. They also have a beer brewing section, I saw a banana one I really want to go back and taste. I love "finding" these little hidden treasures. We all need a break from our routine or everyday life from time to time and Schnebly is a perfect place for it.

    I can never find wines in stores that I like but this place has the most amazing flavors. The wine tasting is a must! The beers are not my favorite. I didn't like any of them but that's just me, some people love them. The environment is fun and they have live music Friday nights.

    We purchased a groupon for the wine tasting and didn't know what to expect. It was about an hour drive south for us but it was so worth it. It was dusk when we arrived and the building with the lighting is so beautiful so I'm glad we went in the evening. We walked in to see the amazing woodwork on the winebar. It's amazing! We waited a few minutes for a spot on the bar and was greeted by a very pleasant sommelier. She had us choose 5 wines each and we loved almost all of them. All made with native Florida fruits like guava, mango, coconut and lychee plus avocado. The wines were mostly white and were very refreshing and delicious. Great to serve on a hot SoFlo day!!! They give you your favorite one in a glass you get to keep. Nice! We went outside for the beer tasting and it was very scenic with stained concrete floors, landscaping and an enormous tiki hut. Wow! My husband enjoyed the beers but favored the darker ones and again, they give you your favorite one in a glass to keep. It was a hot steamy night but there were fans everywhere. You also get a discount for your next visit and if you bring the glasses back. We then ate in the new restaurant The Redlander. I had previewed the menu in line and was looking forward to the ceviche but they weren't serving it so we had the guava wings which were amazing!! They are breaded with just the right balance of sweetness and heat. We also ordered the burger which we requested to be cooked medium rare was served rare so be careful how you order. The bun was a little stale but the fries were thin cut and very good. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves!!

    I love this winery! We started coming here when they first opened and come back whenever we are in the area. Since we have free wine tastings for life, we try to visit a few times a week. The wines are refreshing and unusual. The Sweet Avocado and CocoVino are my favorites. The setting is beautiful, and I love the waterfalls and landscaping. Lots of outdoor seating for evening events. We sampled the beers for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the Coconut Ale. Friendly employees, laid back atmosphere.

    Delicious wine, beautiful setting.... I loved it! I'll have to come back for the beer tasting! Passion fruit, Guava and Lychee my favorites ones, respectively.

    We ordered $900 worth of wine in mid February and as of late April, it had not arrived. We contacted them and they did not even have a record of the transaction. They demanded to see the cc statement in order to refund the purchase price charge. The customer service reps are "not ready for prime time players". One fellow's even told me "Sir...I am not responsible for your problem". Will not purchase from them in the future.

    Surprisingly enough, being born and raised in south Florida I had not been here until last weekend. Granted, I didn't like wine until a few years ago, so that would explain it. Anyway, came here for a friends bday, overall it was a good time. You have to pay just to get in and it's $12.50 per person on the weekends and $10 during the week (I believe is what they said). What does that cover? Not much, just the band that they hire to play on the weekend. Because then you have to go and pay for your wine samplers ($9.95 and you get to keep the glass) and/or beer samplers ($14.95 and you also get a glass). And if you get there early enough to do a tour of the winery/brewery that's another charge as well. So yes, I think the entrance fee is too much considering you know everyone is going to spend money on drinks and even food anyway. Granted if you buy their wine at Publix and bring a receipt showing proof of purchase they do let you in for free. Now, I love sweet wines such as Moscato, and White Zinfandel and when I asked the difference between the two wine sampler options they told me the dessert wines were sweeter and had more alcohol than the other, so you know which sampler I chose, yup, dessert wine. You get 4 of the dessert wines plus an option from their regular wines. The boo-boo and mango dolce were good, didn't like the grand reserve at all, it was like a brut (dry) champagne and then the sparkling passion was eh, so-so as I described it to the guy serving me, lol. Then for my last one I chose the sweet avocado and that one was good, it has a hint of the taste of Moscato. I then tried the sparkling lychee, and let me tell you that is the best one hands down!!! Our wine server was Kris, and he was great! Very nice, friendly, and great at describing the wines and what you can possibly mix them with and everything. So after you do your wine tasting you can buy some bottles and take them home or take them outside and dance to what the band is playing or just hang out. Even though they have some fans to help with the heat it just isn't good enough in this horrible south Florida heat and humidity. Would we go back? Yes, but it would definitely be in the "winter" months when it's not as hot.

    We enjoyed the incredible tropical habitat and talking with the very friendly bartender. Of the beers, the IPA was our favorite. The others were rather fruity. We bought two wines - the coco vino and sweet avo vino. The coco vino was way too sweet and fruity for dinner and did not pair well with fish as described. This brewery/winery has a lot of promise and is very beautiful - Miami needs more of these!

  • Blunt Secret Shopper I.

    Date of Visit: May 23, 2015 I decided to continue my birthday celebrations here due to the family environment and live music - not to mention, who doesn't like wine/beer?! Parking is easy. The cover charge ranges from $10-$15 depending on what time you get there - there's always a line to enter the actual place, it's expected considering their seating capacity. If you buy the Groupon for entry, you still have to wait in line. The line to buy food/ bottles of wine or beer took FOREVER, at least an hour. Drunk people + long lines = frustrating! The food process is that once you order, you're given a number and they deliver it to your table. Well, we finally order our food and instead of being given a number, we are told that we need to come back in 20 minutes to see if it's out. Seriously?! We end up doing a wine tasting while ordering our food (the wines are good - however, you can buy the same wines at a supermarket for way cheaper). The food took at least an hour to come out - they are completely disorganized, they have no idea what food is coming out or who it's going to, they do not follow ticket order, and if you don't stand in front of them continuously asking where your food is, if you wait patiently for your food, you'll never get it - whether it's a big order or one dish. We finally get our food: 1. Steak with fries ($26): it was more like steak fritters - not bad, not worth the wait. 2. Burger with fries: it was okay but it was clear that it was a frozen patty (we ordered 3 of these) 3. Pork Tacos: okay at best The best part was that THERE WAS A HAIR IN OUR FOOD, the burger specifically. When we complain/ return it, we had to wait another 30 minutes. A 90 minute wait for food that was mediocre at best - BLASPHEMY! If you want to enjoy your time here, get there by 6, and eat before you come. The music was good and the vibe was enjoyable - as long as you do not enter the main building. I asked management if I could bring pizza or major outside food and was denied permission. Therefore this place wants people to purchase their food - considering my experience, that is not happening. I would not go back unless their customer service is seriously improved, the restaurant is removed, or customers are allowed to bring their own food. I brought a party of about 25 people who all spent money here - that's 25 people who will speak negatively of this establishment. Such a shame - I had high hopes for this place!

    Ok.. I guess I might be the only one that thinks a winery should be all about... the wine. This place has such potential but fails on the most important criteria. First the good: BEAUTIFUL place. I went at night so it was all lit up and looking gorgeous. There were people all over, laying out and enjoying themselves. It's a huge place so I never felt crowded and trampled upon. The servers were not plentiful but the lines were not long either. If I came back it would be for the atmosphere. Now the bad: AWFUL wine. I am sorry. I know the owner takes a lot of pride in locally sourcing many of the products that go into the wine. BUT it all just tasted like candy and super sweet flat soda. There was not a dry wine in the bunch that we sampled. The most dry was the avocado we were told. It would give a Riesling a run for it's money on the sweeto-meter. The guava etc were so cloyingly sweet that they were undrinkable for me. Would make a hella good barbecue sauce though. The wine simply cannot stand up to any proper reds or whites. And that is a shame. Onto the beer. Not much better. I tried most of them there. They are all touched by Hop-itis. Not sure what is going on with American breweries that are so enamored with super hopping every beer. I am not a hops lover. When I order a brown ale or a wheat beer I expect hops to be way in the back of the palate somewhere. Not the case here. Both the Gator Tail and Shark Bait where hopped up on hops. This place is way out of the way... but could easily be worth the trip... If their product improves. As it stands I think I am one and done with Schneblys.

  • Keith P.

    Schnebly... not Schnelby, or Schnelley... You got delicious wine here. A chance to enjoy live music. And kids... what, kids at the winery? Don't get me wrong; kids are cool, but I am not sure if I would go out with a group of friends at night if kids were running around the place. It is a family-friendly establishment, but having a night out for the adults- I would want a place that is 21 and over. I can't say how the ambience is at night because I went on a Sunday evening, but I did enjoy myself. The food can be a bit overpriced; I paid $12 for what seemed like a fancy Lunchables box, but the wine is delicious. Overall, a pleasant place-- a paradise where you can enjoy live music and the manmade waterfall in the background.

  • Michael S.

    Unreal. We actually have a real winery in south Florida! Wow! This spot is an oasis! I don't know where to begin with this place but with the tasting! For a small fee you can sample a vast variety of their finest selections and will not be disappointed ! Try the sweet avocado which tastes nothing like the great fruit - just pure goodness!

  • Wolf P.

    Been coming here for years. Used to love it! Haven't come in about 8-10 months. Wow! What a change in service. Was sent all over the place for different things. Seemed like the staff was clueless! No one was willing to go the extra mile like before. Looks like another story of a business getting too big for it's own good. Very sad. Won't give up on this one yet. However a few more occurrences like this and I'm out for good.

  • Dan L.

    How did I ever forget to review this place! Wine with no grapes...and coconut ale!!! So we went to some gator farm...rode the airboat (I swear those things go faster...felt a little ripped off). From there we saw a sign that said there was a winery nearby...first day of vacation, why not!? This place is a pleasant little oasis. We were there on a weekday...early spring.. and there were very few people in there. The choices of wines (NONE of them grape) left my gf and cousin's gf in a conundrum on what to try. We were enjoying ourselves so much during the tasting (girls did wine tasting..guys did beer) that we ordered another bottle of wine and a couple more pints and went in the "backyard" and hung out. The backyard is the place to be... iguanas...a cat (that was very friendly) and a view. I suggest you look this place up if you are ever in the area!!

    Love the scene at night! It's beautiful and romantic. Great to have a wedding or party. I'm so in love with the CoCoVino! The owner is extremely passionate and nice. Took us on a tour himself. Wide variety of wines and beer to choose from. I had a great time with the DJ Tom! The winery did an awesome job choosing him for the Karaoke night and he gets involved with everyone and even dances! Mixes the music well and with a few glasses of wine you'll surely dance! Happy there's such a nice and lovely place with great wine down here

  • Yvelin R.

    Was here for a friend's birthday this past weekend. The place is gorgeous and I was pleased with their customer service. The wine selection I tried didn't blow my mind but it was def enjoyable. Giving it 4 stars because my husband is a beer drinker and wasn't impressed at all with their beers. There was a $10 fee because of a life band after 6 pm (we got there at 5:30 and still had to pay). Once the sun goes down the Mosquitos go crazy. Strongly recommend taking bug repellant. All in all it was a nice experience and something we don't normally do. I would most likely return for a girls event since I highly doubt my beer-drinking-mosquito-hating husband won't go again.

  • Kat P.

    Was thoroughly surprised when I walked inside how beautiful this place is and the location where the wine tasting is held is air conditioned (I was worried being from south Florida and knowing the humidity and the resident mosquitos that plague us)! Some of the staff were not that friendly but luckily we had a great experience during the wine tasting. I don't remember her name unfortunately because I already started my libation experience prior to coming (I was not driving woo hoo). Oh it is of note that we purchased a groupon which included the wine tasting, the tour, and 2 souvenir wine glasses. It was totally worth it! I don't know that I would pay for the tour if I had to pay full price, but for $11.95 the wine tasting , at full price, is definitely a win! For the most part the wines I tasted were delicious and I am not a wine drinker I prefer dark liquors (cognac, rum, bourbon, etc...). Even my husband who definitely does NOT drink wine enjoyed the wine and the experience. They also have a cafe inside that had pretty decent food. I had the mahi mahi dish which was a tad too salty for me but another person in my group enjoyed it. The mushroom soup was very tasty and generous portion. Someone in the group ordered the ribs with the guava sauce and they thought it was also surprisingly good. Sorry we didn't take pictures as by this time we had done the tasting and already had a few bottles of wine so we were not 'focused' on taking photos :-). This place also seems family friendly. There were a lot of kids running around outside in the grassy turf and were , for the most part, in the 'family' section. It was a harmonious blend of adults wanting to have adult time and families wanting to go out for a family night. Needless to say the grounds are beautiful. We didn't stay for the live music as we would have had to pay an extra fee per person in order to order more wine. I know it doesn't make sense to me but it didn't bother us much because we had already enjoyed the offerings and were ready for our next venue: midtown! Overall I'm glad we came here, but being that it took us over an hour to drive here I am not sure how frequent I would come back.

    Ugh! Gross! I don't know what other people are thinking (or rather, tasting), but this was the most revolting wine I've ever had. I used to do wine tastings all the time in Virginia, have done some in Spain and France, and a few in New England. I am by no means a qualified wine expert, but I can usually guess if it's a merlot or a pinot noir. And I know what I like and what I don't like. And I DO NOT like Schnebly's wines. My boyfriend and I went with another couple, remembering how much fun we had wine tasting in Virginia, thinking it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. Our expectations were fairly low - fruit flavored wine? Probably fun, like those fruity wine cooler stuff you get at pool parties. We weren't expecting anything amazing, but certainly drinkable. Nope! We honestly compared the aftertaste of one wine to cigarette ash, and the flavor of another to spraying Glade Freshener in your mouth. Out of the four of us, the best we could say for any of the wines is, "This might be okay if we had it with 7-Up... a lot of 7-Up..." If the bottles were $5-10, that could be justified. At $18-30 per bottle, that's ridiculous. The place was beautiful, really beautiful, but we'd never go here again. Also, the kid who was serving us answered his phone in the middle of pouring and said, "Good thing my boss isn't around to see that." And he knew NOTHING about the wines. He even admitted some of them were pretty terrible. Save yourself a trip - really! This is a loooong drive to the middle of nowhere and while it's pretty, you'd be better served buying a $4 bottle of cheap fruity wine at the grocery store and going to a park or something.

    It's a not a bad place to come picnic but a little far removed for the effort. We tried the wine and beer tastings. The beer was hardly palatable. I'm not one to throw away beer but I couldn't finish them. The wine was ok. I give them an A for effort trying to make wine out of fruit vs. the traditional grapes. The tastings were $10 and cheaper if you come back with the glass, but I don't need a drink that bad. Wine prices were very high, $14-45/ bottle for fruit wine. I realize that I am spoiled living in wine country, WA but if it's hard to swallow and leaves a funny taste in your mouth then it's still not really worth it not matter how creative the effort. I recommend trying it because it's interesting but I wouldn't bank on loving it. I'd straight up pass on the beer tasting.

  • Anna P.

    We have been there several times, with kids and without kids. Night and days. We love it. My only wish is that they'd have a hotel near by, because after all that wine, and to drive back, is not easy! We always pick a driver, but that person is never happy! LOL. I love the vibe and the family atmosphere. I especially enjoyed celebrating my birthday on a Saturday night with BBQ and Category 3 Hurricane Wine (my favorite.) One word of advice, take food unless you go on Friday or Saturday nights where they usually offer the BBQ. Otherwise take Cheese and crackers and fruit. Enjoy!

  • Christine P.

    Took a day trip to Homestead this weekend - and Schnebly's was our 2nd stop on the tour (after Knaus Berry Farm). We got the $6 wine tasting and checked out 5 different wines. I visited Schnebly's years ago, before their huge tasting room was completed- so this time around, I checked out some of their newer flavors. Cat 3 Hurricane, Dry Avocado, Carambola/Oak. Had a fun time checking out all the different flavors. Fun flavors, and the bartender knew what she was talking about. There was a wedding going on, so the outside waterfall area was closed off to us. After the tasting - we got our cinnamon rolls from Knaus Berry Farm and had our impromptu picnic on some of the picnic tables outside. Only 3 stars instead of 4 because the bottles are more expensive than I remember, and I feel like they're more expensive than the same ones I've seen them selling at Publix. I will definitely be back - with a picnic basket full of food to nibble on while chugging down a whole bottle with friends outside. :)

  • Tour A.

    We arrived here after doing the not so long drive from Pinecrest...the place seemed nice and we went in and was greeted by a friendly staff who was restocking wine, we inquired about the wine tour which their website said was on fri/sat/sun..and the manager (God forbid) came over and very matter-of-factly told us we are mis-informed there is no tours on friday but we can stay for the 6pm event(we later found out from the cashier friday tours were cancelled recently because a few ppl quit..I can see why). Her (apparent manager) attitude stank worse than the get up of pink and purple she was wearing and we contemplated leaving, we eventually did the wine tasting and our moods improved, The wines are definitely different but the ones we tried were good, some were a tad bit too sweet but the taste were all exotic and some were even pretty good. All in all I would go back, on a day when that horrible employee/manager/cashier person who seemed to be incharge was not working, she needs to learn about customer service, I dont know how the rest of the staff, that were awesome, cope with her, but I fully understand how they could quit. To the owner customer service is key and when your "manager" is the problem then your business is in trouble, usually employees screw up and managers fix it but your rude abnoxious manager was the major source of discomfort who evidently hold grudges and walked away from the register when we were cashing out the bottles we decided to buy...but thats okay because the person she sent to replace her was so much nicer.. Maybe I will go back for the tour, The place it self was very beautiful and serves for a good day out and about in the redlands, it isnt california so dont go expecting it to be. it is tropical and lovely and the flavors of the wines are just that sunkissed, exotic and fruity!!

    If you ever want to get away from the craziness of Miami. Schnebly is the place to go; especially if you work and play in the city. Karaoke nights ROCKS and they do have a live band that you can dance the night away to salsa, merenge, bachata, or whatever moves you want to create after a few glasses. Trust me when I say no one is watching ;-) just bust a move!

  • Tiffany G.

    Scnhebly Redland's Winery in Homestead is a must do while living in Miami when you're looking to try something a little different and off the beaten path. Schnebly's is the Southernmost winery and brewery in the United States. What makes this winery so unique is the fact that they handcraft and produce their wines and beers strictly from exotic tropical fruits and grapes. The winery offers tastings seven days a week and tours every weekend. The most recommended is the "Ultimate" tasting, costing $9.95 per person which gets you your choice of five different types of Schnebly wines. Lychee, mango and passion fruit are some of the popular flavors on the wine list. You can also keep your specially etched Scnhebly wine glass, and bring it back you the next time you return to pay only $5 for the tasting. The natural coral waterfalls, tiki huts, and lush trees that surround you provide a great backdrop for a great afternoon of wine tasting.

    My friend and I love finding little places to to visit in and around Miami and the Schnebly Redland's Winery was a great find. The imbiance alone, which was a secluded scenic and dim lit has live music, was worth the small entrance fee. Then you're able to experience the winery's own interesting selection of wines which includes flavors of mango avacado lychee and other exotic special blends like Category 3 my favorite. Being able to take a smal pinic basket enjoy the cool night air while listening to the live band play was a great end to a long week.

    A little oasis in Homestead FL with a terrific indoor circular bar and beautifully landscaped lush tropical grounds complete with waterfalls and outdoor cafe seating. For $10 you can taste any 5 fruit or sparkling wines and keep the glass. They specialize in interesting sweet fruity wines but the dry wines are ok too. I bought a couple bottles for the novelty of it even though I thought their prices were a tad steep.

  • Raquel S.

    It's worth the drive to schnebly winery. On Friday and Saturday's nights they have live music and you can bring your own food, buy a bottle of wine and make a romantic picnic. The carambola and carambola oak are so good and have a great aroma.

  • Jason O.

    The wines are absolutely horrid, so horrid it's actually fun. The tour I did I would not recommend to any wine buffs, as you will find out how clueless the guides are, as well as unprofessional and just way too young. The truth is these people should not be making wines. They had a novel (not really, it exists throughout the world) idea, and while I thank them for helping to boost the area, I wish they would put genuine effort into their product. The expansive grounds on which the "winery" is located is quite beautiful and available for lunches.

    I really liked this winery. As part of my Redlands tour yesterday we stopped here and were really impressed. It is a very beautiful place and you can rent it out and hold events there. We did the tour and the tasting and it was $13! I thought it was really affordable. I wasn't impressed with the tour guide..he was just a young kid and if you know even just a little about wine you can tell he really doesn't know his stuff. It just so happened that yesterday they had a chef preparing a nice lunch of paella if you wanted to buy a plate. We already had lunch plans so we didn't but it smelled great! For the tasting they give you a wine glass (which you can keep and get future tastings freee!) and you can try 5 of the wines. Our lady helping with the tasting was nice and gave us an extra cup each :) They also have specialties, like the sparkling wine which you can pay a little more for. I particularly liked the guava and passion fruit and bought a bottle of each. If you buy 4 or more bottles of wine each bottle drops down to $12. So take advantage. All in all a great day at the winery.

    We first heard about this place from our friend and fellow yelper Jonathan C. This place is so unique to South Florida, considering that it is the only winery that exists here. Its was quite a drive for us "Miamians" down to Homestead, but it was well worth it especially since we were in good company. Schnebly's is literally in the middle of NO WHERE. You can take a tour of the beautiful grounds and learn about there history, and how they make there wine for $7.00 per person. May I say that our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions without hesitation. Also for $6.95 you can sample 5 tasting of there different wines which includes a Schneblys monogrammed wine glass you can take with you. Whenever you visit Schneblys Redland Winery again, just bring back the glass anytime and you get a free tasting just for bringing the glass with you. None of there wines are made from grapes, but they are definitely unique most of which are made from different fruits guava, avocados, coconuts, star fruit, lychee's, mango's, etc. You can bring your own food (cheese, crackers, salami, sandwiches etc.), and buy a bottle of wine and pick a spot on there grounds and enjoy the scenery of the small waterfalls, or relax under one of the tikki huts, or on a picnic table out front. What's not to love about this place? Friday and Saturday nights they have a live band that comes to play under there giant tikki hut which is an added extra to this great place. If you are looking to get married this may be a great venue option for you as well, and should definitely check it out. - Melissa Marie

    Great atmoshpere, great wine...FREE entrance. This place is really nice. My husband and I took our wedding pictures here and they turned out amazing! I'm shocked they don't charge a walk-in fee. I hope they never do either. This is a great place to relax, take pictures and socialize with family and friends. They even let you bring your own food!! There wines are so delish that I love to do the wine tasting over & over. And that's only $7!! Great deal! On Friday & Saturday's they have events so check them out if you can.

    The winery is an amazing place; you drive along for what seems like eternity and suddenly it rises out of the farmlands like a mirage in the desert: a gorgeous building fronted by a large fountain houses the wine-tasting area and gift shop where the tours begin. But the true beauty is in the grounds; surrounded by one of the largest tiki huts in existence, an inner courtyard landscaped with tropical plants boasts twin waterfalls bisected by a stone bridge leading to the winery proper. Under the tiki mansion, a corner stage, picnic tables and comfortable lawn furniture scattered throughout with fans to keep the mosquitos at bay. The prices are good: 5 wine tastings for $6 and tours of the winery for $7. Best of all: Schneblys is providing live music entertainment on Sundays now: the Sunday we went the wonderfully talented acoustic folk duo Jennings and Keller were playing, but that's another review!

    This is a tough review, because while it's fun to go there, to take the Redland Tour, and to see parts of Homestead that I probably never would have otherwise seen, the truth of the matter is that the wine is simply god-awful. It's a very pretty location, it's fun to go with a group, to see parts of Miami, to try something different, that's all true. I guess if you have an open mind, try it, just be prepared for some really really bad wine.

    Went for lunch to the Redlander. I don't know if they are still getting their ish together but the food was horrible. Two Measly fish tacos with chips that had NO SALSA $17 (wtf). My husband had a dry burger with overcooked fries $17 (barf). Service was excellent and ambiance was five star but I would just lap up some brews or sip the fruity wine. The restaurant just didn't cut it for the price paid. Should've headed to Casita Tejas for Mexican. Kicking myself in the butt now ;) I am only giving it 2 stars for the ambiance and the service. Unless they have an intervention in the kitchen I will never go back to order. Also the cooking is far too poor to host Miami Spice :(

    I love this place! We went on a Sunday, early because they close at 5pm. All the wines were spectacular!!! My favorites were Passion Fruit, Lyche, Guava vino, Carambola, Cat 2 hurricane red, mango.The place has an awesome vibe. I recommend taking snacks, like ham, cheese, crackers etc. you'll have an awesome experience!

    Overall not a bad place service on the other hand... we got there at 4:45pm for the last tour at 5pm and wine tasting. The tour was informative and the guide was pleasant. It's about an hour tour so when we got out we were told if we wanted to buy any additional wine or food to enjoy with the wine tasting each one of us would have to pay an additional cover charge of $12.50 each (group of 4 adults and 2 kids)... just to enjoy over priced cheese and crackers I understand a cover charge for live music and other amenities but even at 6:40pm there was no live music or anything else that would merit the additional cost.

    Love this place to bring the family. The kids could enjoy playing in a nature ground scenario. While the parents sip on wine and talk. I recommend you bring some snacks like different cheeses or wine pairing foods. Also, bring back you wine glasses. You get discounted tastings. Don't come here thinking you will drink classic Pinot Nior or a well aged wine. Have an open palate for taste. This is not ordinary classic wine. These wines are more tart and different fruit based. They are interesting and fun. Consider this place a good place to gather and have a pleasant time with others instead of goi g to taste good wines. Beautiful scenery!

    Great hang out spot and a cool place to take a drive and spend a day trip if you're anywhere north of downtown Miami. Beer is generally good. Almost always live music. And now serving food.

    Much like other people there that day we went to Schnebly's because of a groupon deal. When we got there after a long drive from Miami we found what we thought was the entrance. Instead we were redirected to a curved dirt driveway with a grass lot at the end. The place looks really nice with the fish and the waterfalls in their pond. We went into the white building for our wine tasting and I gotta say it was a good experience. The bartender was really nice and went through the wines with good detail. My favorite was their passion fruit wine and most of the others were very tasty. We didn't get to try the food because their deli section was mostly comprised of prepacked meats and cheeses that you could find in your local supermarket. The day we went they had a bbq but we didn't stick around for that once we saw that the burgers were $12 with a 15 minute wait. After we were done with our wine we were pretty much done with the place. The live music was good but it was so hot that day and we were hungry so we cut our day here short. I'd still recommend you check out this place to try out the wine and enjoy the view.

    We are here with the family for Mother's Day. Staff is rude and we were sitting inside the wine tasting building at the corner bar, tasting the wine that we paid for when either the owner or a manager made us get up and took our chairs. I would not come back here.

  • Marisa P.

    Visited yesterday with a group of ladies... Peaceful atmosphere... Great way to spend a day with you better half... The tour was a great learning experience.... and last but not least, the wine!!!!!! They were all great, but my all time favorite, THE COCO VINO!!!!! Look for them at Publix!

  • Rachele S.

    My husband and I did a day trip here for the heck of it. I was dying to go and he had never been either. We started with the beer tasting then worked our way towards to wine tasting, all of which was great. We went on the walking tour of the winery and the tour guide did a great job. I can't wait to revisit this beautiful place. Great place for a date! ;)

  • Dayli A.

    Went for the first time for Valentine's Day and bought the vday special. It was very pricey and the food was not good (extremely small size portions, and cold/uncooked). The wine on the other hand was great, and the atmosphere - live music, the romantic vibe, service - was amazing. It more than made up for the crappy food. Don't go for the food, go for the wine and beer and you will be satisfied! :)

  • Allie S.

    I love this winery! Came here for Valentine's night with a group of friends even though it was busy we were able to find parking, do the wine tasting (FYI: $10 you try about 5 wines and you get to keep the wine glass.) We were able to find a table for 8 people and have our packed dinner as well. Overall this experience was amazing, second time I come here and I can't complain a hidden treasure of homestead. A must do for locals who want to have a new experience and the wines here are pretty tasty I recommend all of them, you can't go wrong with wonderful wine.

  • Lacey C.

    Your seriously-into-wine friends? You might not want to take them here. They will probably get mad at you. They will roll up in their (tiny) tasting room and expect a, b, and c. They will get a lot of really simple, barely qualifies as wine, super sweet, but entirely delectable (especially with BBQ) juice from bottles. Then they will probably be all like "WHY DID WE COME HERE?" But your guests from out of town? Uncle Bob? Aunt Marge? Mom and Dad? They're gonna frickin love this place. Go on the weekend and take a tour of the new Brewery. Have wine tasting, and maybe a beer tasting (you will be wasted). Try the carambola wine with pulled pork, and enjoy the Big Rod (coconut) and Shark Attach (mango wheat) beers. Their patio and gardens are genuinely impressive and serene. You'll be sipping in a little slice of heaven than is uniquely Miami/So-Flo. Keep your glass, and bring it back sometime--your wine tasting is only $5.

    Wonderful venue, awesome beer, definitely try the cafe con leche beer, great food now that they serve food, pulled pork sandwich was delicious, awesome staff and just a wonderful place for a nice afternoon or evening, highly recommend!

    Horrible experience. Website says RESTAURANT its a lie , I was expecting a real restaurant . It was literally a deli , they had a huge board with deli food that they don't even carry. We had to pay 12.50 for entrance which doesn't include anything. The wine tasting is separate .. The wine they had was AMAZING BUT you can only pick 5, which is not bad it's ok but they literally give you half a cup with all the wines combined .. It was half a sec pour. The service is horrible. They didn't explain any of the wines. Just handed you a paper with the different wines. The wine tasting was about 6 minutes long. You get to keep the glass. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. And it's EXTREMELY FAR

    Wine was ok. Beautiful place but very crowded. Good for a wine tasting but I won't be buying wine from here. The passion fruit wine was awful.

  • Chris P.

    The brewery is way out in the sticks, but worth the drive. I had a hard time picking up the Internet on my phone, but they offer free WiFi. There were a few wine selections, but only four beers on tap which was a downer. They offer growlers and wine bottles to go. The main bar is the centerpiece of the tap-room with a beautiful back patio with three gazebos, koi ponds and water falls to enjoy your drinks. They do sell small meat and cheese platters, deli sandwiches and chips for a quick bite. I would definitely recommend stopping by if in the area.

    I've been visiting Schnebly for well over six years now. Some of the recent changes improved both the property and the experience for visitors. Beer tasting: excellent value! Great flavors on their home-brewed brewskies. Sparkling tasting: Adding bubbles makes everything better. Tropical fruit wine is no exception. In fact, I prefer the sparkling varieties to the other wines. Events: Now packed every weekend, Schnebly's offers live music and great people watching. An adjacent event space is usually closed for weddings and celebratory gatherings, but they usually keep the main hall open to the public. I am afraid I can't bestow the elusive five star review, as the wines are not to my particular taste. However, it's clear these winemakers are successful and serious, as they have received multiple awards for their wines. Bottom line: Still a gorgeous venue and a must-do on your Redland Romp tour.

    Visiting my hometown. It's a beautiful day and we decided to stop in at Schnebly's Winery. Apparently, if you'd like to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, you better bring your own glass. After I ordered a glass of wine, I found out the glasses are only available for people that want to stand at the bar inside and do a wine tasting. Otherwise, they actually serve your wine in a little plastic cup. What kind of winery experience is that? They may as well serve your wine in a paper cup or a red solo cup. I won't return, but if you come I recommend that you order the wine tasting and just tell them to give you five of the same type so that at least you can enjoy your wine in a glass. They really need to invest in some inexpensive glasses so that people can enjoy their glass or bottle of wine in a glass! Apparently they don't have a lot of respect for their own wine if they don't offer it in a glass.

    I really like this place, and the experience there, the only thing I need to make an observation is that since this is such a family place, they should place a BABY CHANGING TABLE on the restrooms, thats a must have here!

  • Ray C.

    Schnebly Redland's Winery is another fun for the entire family place. It is out there in the in the Redlands Homestead area. When you get there it is worth it. Plenty of food , music, space for the kids to run around and a lot of wine tasting. Bring a jacket if is cool out because the temperature there drops a bit. Bring a few dollars and enjoy there hamburger grills. You will see groups of people and lots of kids and a dance floor and live band on the weekends for sure. Easy 5 stars for Dating or family fun.

    (5)

  • Anthony V.

    Great ambiance. Good cover band. Food from grill was mediocre and the menu was limited to burgers, ribs and wings. Wine is not for red or white wine lovers as this winery produces fruity, sweet wines only. No grape varietals. IPA brewed here was good, not too citrusy and good level hops.

    We have been coming here before it was built . They use to have a little trailer house only when they started . We love there wines and champaign . The tour is awesome and the wine tasting is great . The owners were always friendly and nice to us . When they built up the place we said when we are ready to get married this is the place . In 2011 we decided to get married and booked the winery . We came in a few days before to remind them to spray for Mosquitos as it had been raining . We got married on the lawn and had the reception under the large tiki hut . Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Serves was great . Wedding was dreamy . But At the end of the night I was itchy from mosquito bits . The following day I found out all of my guest had been bit at least 25 times and up . Some of the guest Even got sick from the bites . I called the winery but they said they had sprayed 1 weeks before wedding . Which I didn't understand because had talked to them to be sure to spray the day before . I have come back to the winery several times after because we love the place . Last night we celebrated our anniversary there and I did get a couple of bites . If it wasn't for the mosquito problem they have I would give this place 5 stars . My advice to anyone thinking of coming here or getting married here , to bring tons of bug stray .

    Enjoyed my visit to Schnebly's. My group of 4 went for a tour of the grounds and a wine-tasting. The tour is forgettable. They try to offer a winery experience. While it could never compare with at least California wineries, they do their best to hold their own. I admire and respect that. But I don't suggest wasting the 30 minutes or money on the tour. As far as the tasting...... I am not a fan of their wines. Toooo sweet & the flavors are just not pleasing to my palate. At all. But it is a wine tasting and you can get a tiny buzz while checking out the goods, so I'd recommend it. 4 stars because it's homegrown. A Miami winery - something pretty unique, especially considering our climate. Also, it's a GREAT date spot. Sign up for a tasting and then grab a seat at one of the tables outside, maybe with a bottle of your preferred Schnebly wine and picnic basket (no outside drinks are allowed, including water & soda; outside food is allowed and food is also for sale onsite). There's a man-made body of water and a small bit of scenery but the atmosphere is definitely romantic. Early evening is a great time because the sun is not beaming and sunset from that area is gorgeous. It's quite a drive but with a nice ambience and prices that are just right, it's worth it to enjoy this unique South Florida experience.

    Enjoyed my visit here! Enjoyed tasting the different wines, although I don't remember having any cheese to go with the samples! This place would be an awesome place to take a date to. I personally thought it was pretty cool how they had areas set up so you could bring your own lunch/dinner, candles, etc.. to make it as romantic as you wanted! Would definitely go again!

    After hearing about this place from a friend and seeing the constant Groupon deals, I nudged my friend to give this place a go, considering the great weather that day. You'd be surprised how few people know about this place, especially people who live further north of the Homestead and Cutler Bay area..."There's a winery? In Miami? You're kidding!", I constantly hear. Unfortunately, I had no idea there was a tour and that it only went on during certain hours, or I wouldn't have spent most of my afternoon sunning myself on the beach. Therefore, we missed the tour. I wish my friend had mentioned a tour since he'd been there before, and I also wish he had checked the website while I was in the beach, trying to reach that electronics-free zen. We arrived and took a path through some forested area to a parking lot where we were guided to a parking spot. At the entrance, we got the tickets and entered. There was a live band when we arrived, and I liked the well-manicured grounds, so I thought I'd love it. We tried to check out the waterfalls and found they were cordoned off and that is when we found out about the tour and the fact it was too late. Bummer, I love nature and plants so I was really disappointed! I also thought this was a traditional winery, meaning they'd explain the process of wine-making and have us witness it/be a part of it. Maybe they do this during the tour? We were able to try several wines inside the tasting room via the Ultimate Tasting. It's a great deal: you pay $10 and get to try 10 different wines and keep the glass at the end of it all. Bear in mind, I am not a wine drinker at all, I prefer liquor, but I was pleasantly surprised by the choices offered. I tried everything from the sweeter to the more tart wines, and liked them. I think the Guava and Carambola were my favorites. A bottle will set you back about $20, so they're not cheap. The bartenders are informative, describing each flavor and recommendations on food pairings. The sheet where you select which 10 wines you'd like to try from the list also has a brief description of the flavors. If you want some Schnebly's merchandise to look hip, they've got that covered too. I liked the outdoor tiki area with the live music and twinkling lights, but at that point the live band started playing Latin music, which my friend and I are not fond of, and there was no indication they'd go back to the 70s music or soft rock, which had barely elicited a reaction from the audience, so we left. Considering this is in the middle of nowhere and had plenty of attendance, we quickly came to the conclusion that this was THE locals' place to be on a weekend night since there's nothing else to do in the surrounding area. I feel like I missed out on the whole experience, due to not taking the tour, so I definitely plan to go back and take the tour. Oh, I thought I'd mention that if you go back and bring your glass, according to their site, you only pay $5 for the Ultimate Tasting, rather than the normal $10. Quite an incentive to keep that glass in a safe place.

    I went there for the first time after hearing a lot about Schnebly's. I had a great time. We started with our wine tasting Kris our server was awesome. Super friendly. Once we were done with our tasting we took our picnic to the patio to enjoy the Friday night karaoke.

  • Tamia G.

    Brenda was an amazing wine pourer and quite helpful. We tasted unique wines at this vineyard, none of which were made with grapes! Their unconventional wines are made with avocado, mango, passion fruit and lychee, for example. If you like sweet and/or white wines, then you'll love the wines at Schnebly. They also had quite interesting Beer. The Fan Fave (and my favorite too) is Johnny's Special 50/50. This mixture is half Coconut and half Mango beers, also brewed onsite. Sounds weird but the flavor immediately transports you to the Caribbean! Aside from the nice interior of this winery, they also boast extensive grounds for parties, weddings, karaoke or romantic settings. I was there on a Friday night and got to enjoy karaoke and BBQ, cooked onsite. This is a hidden gem, only 25 minutes outside downtown Miami. It's definitely worth visiting!

  • Zuli Z.

    Went on Saturday night for "BBQ" with live music. The BBQ was a total let down as they only had burgers and ribs which were small for the price, huge line, 45 min wait. Definitely bring your own food. I saw people bring pastelito platters etc now I know for next time. The wine was amazing. I definitely recommend the guavina wine and also the delicious fruit ice cream inside (although pricey was awesome). The place def was a nice night out. They have a nice running waterfall with moi fish, ample seating area although we ended up far from the live music. Definitely for adults leave the kids at home.

  • Nicole R.

    I'm very mixed on this place! The venue is nice and cute and the service is great, but the wines... On a road trip my boyfriend and I decided to make a quick pit stop here. I was skeptical about South Florida wines but he insisted (he loves wine!) so onward we went, deep into Homestead farmland. When we arrived, we were surprised at how developed this place was. We decided to split a wine tasting to see what was going here. Then we realized.. They don't make wines with grapes, but rather tropical fruits. I was a little baffled since that is usually just liquor but these definitely had the feel of wine. We tried the avocado, guava, passion fruit, mango, coconut wines as well as the sparkling lychee. The avocado wine was, quite frankly, disgusting. I don't know what it is about the fruit but there is definitely something weird about the taste. The rest of the wines were fine (the coconut one tasted like a piña colada, sort of) but not something I would ever reach for. Overall it was a fun experience but not for the wine!

  • April R.

    I really can not think of anything that could be better than a winery and brewery in the same place. Thank you so much to Schnebly for putting the two together. So we parked in the very large lot and wandered to the front door, walked in and were very impressed at how nice it was. You walk in and pay for what you would like to do. My husband and I wanted to share both a wine tasting and a beer tasting. We paid and took a seat at the wine bar. The guy helping us was very knowledgeable about the wine. He explained all about each one that we tried and how they actually make their wine with fruit instead of grapes. All the wines we tried were really good and very interesting. They do let you keep your wine glass, so I was happy to be adding to my collection. We then moved over to the beer bar and tried the four beers they had on tap. I really enjoyed the coconut one. We thought the price for the tasting was a little high but they did give you a pint of your favorite after the tasting so that added value. You can also drink outside and look at their beautiful grounds. Schnebly may be a little out of the way but I think it is worth the drive.

  • Jo D.

    I've been coming here for years and still love this place. It is beautiful and it is great to enjoy with your friends and family. I've never had a bad experience here. The best part about this place is that you are allowed to bring your own food (Yes, your're own food) but you are not allowed to bring drinks outside as they are trying to sell wine to their customers ( It is a winery after all). They do have options for kids or for people that don't drink wine. They have soft drinks and water. They also have another section for beer tasting. On Friday and Saturday nights, they have a live band playing and there's enough space to dance. I highly recommend this place if you like to dance and drink wine (or beer).

    Wines were interesting, but they're all sweet! You have to like sweet wine here. The 'bartender' we had was terrible though, guy named Felix I think. Very unfriendly and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. The winery tour was boring for me, but if you want to know more about the history of this place it might be for you.

  • Abraham C.

    I pay a visit to this place occasionally and I really like it. However, The reason I don't give it a 5 star is because every time I visit, there is usually a little "sour" moment in the experience that robs that last star from my rating. Nothing that a few glasses of great tasting wine can't shake off, and they do have great wine, but still "sour" enough to stop the experience from being perfect. These "sour" moments are consistently coming from their in house restaurant. For the sake of being fair, and because I really like this place, I'm gonna rate the wine and restaurant separately. Please, read both sections to get a fair picture of what to expect in this place. The wine is excellent! They offer all sorts of different wines made from fruits and I love that (grapes are not the only fruits out there people). They have lychee, guava, mango, coconut and even avocado and other great ones. My favorite is Category 3. Those come in an array of dry and sweet or combination of both. Great selection! I give this a 5/5. The restaurant, however, is a different story. Before I go into the negatives, I want to mention the positives: The food is great! Most of it at least...The chef is very talented and the flavors are there. The portions are small, which can be considered a negative, but I prefer that when drinking wine, so I don't overeat and don't feel bloated later. Now the negatives: It seems like they just opened their in house restaurant and they are still getting the hang of things. The worst part is....it shows! It's very obvious. The servers are terrible and don't know what they are doing. We ordered bottles of wine and the servers said we had to pay extra to drink the wine in wine glasses!!!! what?!!! Thankfully, the manager corrected the server and they gave us complimentary wine glasses. Also, we ordered food and most of the plates were plastic, dispensible plates. What?!! The meals are not cheap!! I want real plates and real utensils! Anyways, on to the food. I previously mentioned that the food is great but not all of it. I'm actually referring to a specific item in the dessert. The lychee creme brulee.....please, avoid that dessert!!!! Let me explain...I love creme brulee. I like it so much I learned how to make it myself and I order it everywhere I go to try different ones and compare them to mines. Naturally, I saw they offered it, so I had to try it. Judging by how great the other food had been I was excited to try it...I was completely disappointed to find out it wasn't creme brulee...It was flan!!!! really?!! Flan??!!! Flan and creme brulee are both custards and naturally they share some ingredients and have similar recipes, but they taste completely different and their texture is different. Custards are made with egg yolks, some kind of creamy milk product and sugar. In creme brulee, heavy cream is used and in flan, condensed milk. This "creme brulee" was made with condensed milk...so it's flan! It did have the crystalized, torched sugar on top. However, the custard was flan. The menu was very misleading and If the menu had said "flan brulee" I wouldn't have ordered it. It was $8 for that small portion flan. I'm cuban and we eat lots of amazing flan in our culture. This was not even a good flan. It was overwhelmingly sweet. The burned, crystalized sugar on top of the already super sweet condensed milk was too much. I give the restaurant 3/5. It's a shame, because everything else is great. However these "sour" moments keep it from being a perfect experience.

    Great place! Went for a friend's birthday with a large group and we were able to sit at a couple of tables close to the bar comfortably. We bought 6 bottles and got the 7th free and of course went and bought more bottles to take home. The wine is sweet but those who aren't big on drinking wine, the fruity Schnebly flavors are perfect. The guava is delicious but my absolute favorite was the guavino! I wasn't able to do the tasting tour but I will definitely be going back to do so. They usually have groupons that include the tasting tour for half the price, so I'd recommend to check groupon first. The atmosphere is very lively. This was the first time I had been there but I plan to visit again real soon!

    Stumbled upon this place while on our way to the Coral Castle. Saw the sign on the highway and decided to turn! It truly is an oasis in the middle of nowhere- beautiful, lush outside area with tables to enjoy your purchases. We really enjoyed ourselves and to me it felt like a little vacation while there. We did the wine tour and tasting for $15 each (with complimentary glasses to take) and before the tour we had a flight at Miami Brewing Co. which I think was $14. The tour was interesting and, while I would say most of the wines are on the sweet side since they are made from fruit, they are not unbearable and there are definitely at least a few not on the sweet side. We bought two bottles of wine (AvoVino and Guava) and a growler of beer (lychee). Can't wait to come back and bring family!

    It is my third time coming here. the place its gorgeous vibe is hip and believe it or not the place its in the middle of nowhere, yet all three times that Ive been here its full and people just keep coming in. On Saturday they have live music from Carlos who sings amazing songs from salsa, merengue and music we can all appreciate from the radio. The dance floor was packed and everyone seemed to be having a blast. I found the best spot for a date in this place, but i will keep that to myself ;) . Now they recently introduced a Bar-B-Q section which is nice, and besides the tapas or ordering food you can get some burgers,hot dogs etc.... As i was having a small chat with David the manager of the winery, he was letting me know that since the weather wasn't that cold this season there are not that many lychee trees flowering this season. They are still selling some wine from last crop but he did mention that y mid summer it may be hard to get some. So if you appreciate their wines, specially the lychee which its their best seller you should purchase some no that its available. The winery overall is very clean,very well kept and the waterfalls are just captivating and just brings out the romantic in you. This place its lie spring for birds, if you have a husband, girlfriend or partner make sure you two head over to the winery and enjoy a great evening, you are bound to have one there.

    This is my favorite winery. They have wines made from different fruits instead of grapes. Lychee, although has become increasing expensive the past few years, is my personal favorite. Always an enjoyable experience whether with friends or a loved one. Beautiful landscaping, knowledgable staff, live music, decent food (the selection could use some improving). Overall, a great place to visit.

    As you walk into this place, you are instantly captured by the beautiful scenery and elaborate landscaping that makes up this place however that is quickly erased when you take the tour of the place only to find the tour guide is an unpolished nail as soon as he opens his mouth. Proper English is certainly not a requirement with these tour guides! Wear comfortable shoes as towards the end of the tour, they will lead you into an area where they are doing construction so if you're a female wearing open toe shoes your ankle will probably bend! They then proceed to take you into a room encumbered with the smell of horse maneur and they attempt to continue the tour there while everyone is holding their noses, as the tour guide says the history of barley and beer! Needless to say we exited stage left , didn't finish the tour and got a refund. Mediocre tour good wine

    So I finally had to check out what all the hype was about. Went there on a date thinking it was going to be a romantic place for us. While we had a fabulous time together, because the company was great, the winery, the ambiance and their wine left much to be desired. Here's the caveat - I admit I am a wine snob. So on a scale from 1 to 5, I would say that all of the wines I tried rated from 1 - 3. Also, it was hot and muggy outside and there was a lot of noise with a bunch of kids running around and the karaoke blasting from across the patio area. So, it wasn't a very romantic setting. Maybe we just picked a bad day to go there for a date. As for the location -- it's off the beaten path for sure. No, better said, it's far as hell (unless you live in Homestead or the Redlands)!! And the drive to and from there is really creepy especially late at night. The picnic tables under the large tiki hut area has a dancing area and a small stage for bands and the karaoke. I think it might be a lot more fun going there with a group of friends, bringing food and drinking beer. Oh yea, forgot to mention, they do have their own homebrewed beer which is their saving grace. When I return (it's worth giving them a 2nd chance), I will opt for their beer.

    Agreeing with many when I say skip the wine (especially if you are a dry wine fan.) the brewery gets 5 stars, a limited but absolutely amazing beer selections. The beer tasting is worth the &14.95 and you get a pretty cool pint glass. The atmosphere is awesome and it's a great place for parties in a garden. Great for families. We will be regulars.

    This was a random find after visiting the local Coral Castle, but certainly a pleasant surprise! We opted for the beer (Miami Brewing Co) which was outstanding - coconut beer, who knew? Grabbed lunch which was also better then expected. Worth the the side trip if in the area or traveling to the Keys!

    This is an incredibly cool place. The staff are super friendly. The issue is that fruit wine in general will never be good. It doesn't matter who makes it. I'd go back to the place for the beer tasting.

    Each and every time I've visited, I've enjoyed myself. This winery is literally in the middle of nowhere but once you go inside, it's another world. It's a very chill spot for friends, families, couples, etc. You walk in to see a live band playing and people dancing in sandals. You can bring your own food however they also have BBQ which was pretty tasty I might add. For the most part, this is an outside venue so be sure to bring bug repellant. As you walk towards the back past the outdoor portion of the venue, you will see the actual winery + brewery where the tastings take place. You get 5 wine samples of your choice for $10 which is NOT BAD. The best wines to try are Guava, Carambola and Lychee then you can purchase bottles, cheese, snacks, etc. I have yet to try the beers but I'm DYING to since they brew it themselves. Prices for entrance, tastings and bottles are reasonable. On Fridays, they have karaoke. Overall, this is a great place and I can't wait to go back!

    Miami is a unique city and so is this experience. You cannot compare grape wine to Schnebly's wine because they use tropical fruit. Beautiful atmosphere. Chrissy and Phillip are wonderful bartenders. They gave a lot of background information about the wine. Very relaxing, laid-back environment.

    Schnebly's is the southernmost winery and production brewery in the US and has grown significantly in the past several years, so if you haven't been in a while...GO. The venue is beautiful and is definitely worth the drive. AvoVino and Sweet Avocado, their Avocado wines, are surprisingly delicious!

    If you go north on this road for about 3 miles, you are AT the everglades. The winery is part agro-tourist attraction and part crop recycling. If you don't take the tour you will have no clue what is going on. (so take the tour, I am not explaining it here). You can get some lunch here and do some wine tasting. Here are my favorites - Cat 2 and the Guava.

    I have had a trip to Schnebly on my South Florida Bucket List for years. A couple of weeks ago, my roommate took her family there and her mother bought a case of the wine which comes with a special VIP card, earning you free tastings and tours every month. She was nice enough to lend me the card to take a trip to see what it's all about for myself. We got there at 11 because it's never to early to start drinking on a Saturday, right? We immediately were lead to a bar where we got to pick 5 different wines to try. As we sipped, the bartender explained the varieties and what made they all different. After our tasting, we wanted to go on a tour but had a little bit of time to spare. We did the only logical thing to do and made our way over to the beer counter to give that a try. Johnny attended us and let us try every beer, including his 50/50 special and even a special concoction he made using a sparkling bottle of wine. It was a different kind of beer that was not my favorite, but unique to hear about. You can tell he's very passionate about this stuff and that they have high hopes for future growth. Then it was time for the tour also led by Johnny. He is definitely a character and it was pretty interesting to hear about the place, but be prepared for it to last at least a hour. We left with a bottle of the Lychee and CAT 2 wines. I would've liked a bottle of the Boo Boo but truth be told, it can all get pretty pricy! Overall, definitely worth a trip out to the Redlands. I'd even be interested in venturing back again for a Friday or Saturday night... It's a great spot for a picnic, music and fun evening.

    This place is amazing!!!! I got an offer with groupon that included tasting 5 different wines, drinking one whole glass of your pick of wine, a tour of the winery, and you get to keep your souvenir glass of wine. The wine really was delicious (mango, guava, avocado, lychee, and passion fruit wines.) The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have about the wines. We also tried a beer they had (Miami Brewing company) and to quote my boyfriend "it was the best beer I've ever had." I highly recommend schnebly winery!

    My husband and I have been here on a few occasions. Only during the day, so I cannot comment on their evening activities. There are days when we just feel like being tourists and head to "the country". The wine is okay. I'm not a beer drinker, but I did the tasting and they were not bad. For me, because I like fruity. My husband on the other hand, did not care for them. The venue is nice for spring or winter events. I can't imagine hosting an event during our muggy Florida Summers. Now, I gave them an extra star because the staff has always been really friendly. During our last visit, Josue went out of his way to accommodate. If you're in the area, I say go ahead and visit. I wouldn't go all the way out there, just to visit the winery though. Especially at night. It must be a really creepy drive in total darkness.

    Tremendously pleasant ambience surrounded by nature both real and implanted. Enough seating areas to entertain small children who need to run around but also for those who do not wish to be besieged and surrounded by running squealing children. The tour was a collective waste of our time as we had no interest in fermenting our own brew so didn't desire to know how it was made. Having toured winery's in Napa Valley, we were looking forward to a lovely walk through fragrant vineyards. Instead, we briefly holed up in a bitterly cold aluminum warehouse with nothing to look at but ginormous silver vats. Yawn. Not worth the $9 per person. Thoroughly enjoyed the wine and beer tastings and the super friendly and knowledgeable bar staff. Wish we'd brought our own picnic lunch to partake of the lovely outdoor seating. We'd have stayed longer if our tipsy levels could've been evened off.

    Love this place especially when they have groupon or living social deals. Most of the wine gets mixed reviews from my friends but the cat 2 & 3 were favorites for us. The atmosphere is awesome and I love that you can bring whatever you want like food and games. I'd go back.

    Last year for my bf's birthday I decided to plan a surprise trip to Schnebly's. Knowing that this would be a full day with alcohol I decided to book a limo and have all of our friends surprise him at the location we started from. ***Side note, the limo was great and definitely the way to go if you want to do Schnebly's right. After about an hour drive we arrived at Schnebly's. I wanted everyone to have the full experience so we did both the beer tasting and wine tasting with tours. We waited around (bathroom breaks) for probably about 20mins before our first tour started - the beer. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and passionate and made it an enjoyable experience. Once back to the main building we got to try the beers - and not small sample cups, but large pours - everyone was probably drunk at that point. We then got called to our wine tour... the guide was slightly less enthusiastic, but probably was annoyed with our drunken giggling and obnoxious questions. Once back inside we started on the wine tasting. I think it's 10 wines? And the pours were pretty small, but our "bartender" seemed to love our drunken behavior and was keen to pour as much as we wanted. It led to us buying a case of one of the wines, so the generosity probably worked in their favor. There was food available for sale when we were there, a small cart with hotdogs and hamburgers I believe, but we didn't try any of them. The grounds themselves were beautiful and I can see this place being a favorite for families and couples alike. They encourage you to bring your own food and enjoy their wine - think picnic style day - which sounds cute and fun to me! I'm on their mailing list now, and a VIP member, so I'm always getting emails about fun Friday nights with live music - haven't tried it since Schnebleys is a bit far for me, but if you live closer I would definitely check it out!

    While the experience might be decent, the customer service was atrocious. My friend took her sister-in-law here for her 21st birthday. They charged her twice for one bottle of wine and on the way back from the car to have the error fixed her sister-in-law (who just had open heart surgery and is on blood thinners, mind you) slipped while walking through the fountain area, busting her purchased wine bottle with her arm during the fall and started bleeding everywhere. The people she spoke to about the incident and the refunding of the extra charge didn't even offer an apology or a first aid kit, rather they told her she should have been more careful since it was 'obviously wet'. They should have at the very least replaced her bottle and had the decency to apologize for the inconvenience or offered her the medical attention she required. I was really excited to try this place out but knowing how little regard they hold for their customers, I think I'll take my business elsewhere. Shame!

    A very good friend took me to this place for my bday! She said it was wine tasting place but when I arrived it was not the regular wine tasting place... I was surprised in a good way! In door and outdoor and among so much nature away from the city. Just what I needed. The staff were so nice and happy! I am definitely coming back!!!

    Amazing experience for a Sunday afternoon. I'm a beer guy and the wife is a wine girl. The beer selections were great, not a big fan of their mango-wheat brew but the coconut blonde ale was excellent (I've tried many coconut infused beers that have been horrible).

    (5)

  • Chris C.

    I'm feeling fruity...and I LOVE IT! The cash register is right to your left upon arrival because these guys are confident that you want their wine. Let me tell you, they're right! You do the wine tasting in order to see what you like best (category 3 and Lychee are amazing.) The employees there serving the wine and beer are really exciting and knowledgeable, at least mine was. After that, grab your favorite bottle and enjoy. The tour is best when, how do I say....inebriated. I've been there twice and let me tell you, worth the drive, worth the prices, it's different, it's daring, it's damn good wine, and no one should ever waste damn good wine.

    This place is nice but unless you live around the corner from it pack a lunch because its super far from Miami lakes there a hour and a half. Wine was okay a little to buttery/oily huge stomach pain the next day. The shark tank beer is good but difficult to swallow very filling. Had a great time with my gf but won't go out of my way to go back. Suggestion to the company keep the wines simple however the guava is amazing !

  • Mandy G.

    Schnebly's Winery is definitely worth the drive to the Homestead area - and I am not even a huge wine drinker. Just be mindful that you will probably drop close to $100 for an evening here if you enjoy drinking. The scenery is gorgeous. The outside seating allows for a view of a waterfall and palm trees. There are string lights to make the ambiance that much sweeter if you want to make it a romantic evening. On certain nights they have live music and karaoke. People sing, people dance, people eat, and people drink. It is quite the winery experience - the most unique one I have ever had. As for the wines - I am not a seasoned wine drinker, but I enjoy the cocovino and both guava based wines. They are unique and refreshing. Warning: most of the wines are relatively sweet. If you are looking for dry wines then this is not the place to drink wine. Luckily, this winery also doubles as a brewery. (Another reason why I adore this place!) The Miami Brewing Company is housed here and they serve about 5 different brews, but the only one I care about is the Big Rod Coconut Ale. Hands down the best beer i have ever had! They have growlers you can purchase to refill as well as glasses to purchase for cheaper refills. If you are coming here for the first time I suggest getting a sampler of the wine and of the beer (maybe on two separate occasions depending on how much alcohol you can take). I also suggest bringing your own food to munch on as they only have cheese and crackers for sale. A few things to keep in mind: 1.)You can't bring in any water, but don't be conned into buying the $3 water bottle. Keep your glass and refill it at the drinking fountain around the corner by the restrooms! 2.) It gets very hot outside and can be very busy inside so dress appropriately. Dress light and make sure to stay hydrated. In closing, just take it all in and grit your teeth as you are swiping your credit card. Keep in mind that not too many wineries use tropical fruits for drinks and not too many have breweries included inside as well. Appreciate this little Miami treasure. I know I do!

    Finally made it to this great place! I had a very open mind coming here knowing most of their wine would be too sweet for me or fruity. We just came to check it out and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a very lovely hostess who directed us to the cashier after telling us how it worked with wine and beer tasting. We first purchased the wine tasting, walked over with our souvenir stems to the wine bar. A very nice guy gave us our forms to fill out saying to pick five wines to try and then he would pour one at a time. He explained the different flavors etc... Super friendly service. We tried five different wines, which none are made by actual grapes. They are all made with fruit that they grow on premise. Lychee, mango, passion fruit, avocado's, guava, etc.... Although this is not my style of wine at all, we thoroughly enjoyed something different. All I could think about is how much my mother would love these wines. Next up we walked around viewing the very pretty outside, lined with picnic tables, benches, high tops and another beer tasting bar. The tree's and flowers were ever so pretty, the little ponds filled with many large fish, the huts for private events were so cool. They told us about the live music on the weekends, sounds like so much fun. The outside is just so relaxing and pretty that I could totally see hanging out here at night enjoying a fun filled evening. Only one issue driving home. To bad they do not offer a shuttle bus in which I think has been mentioned already. This day they had a catering company come in to offer BBQ, we bellied up to the beer tasting bar, got another set of souvenir beer glasses and tried the beer tasting. We ate pork and ribs, in which both were very good, no complaints. Funny I do not like guava at all and this was the only beer I actually liked. The beer is like the wine made with their own fruit. This is something different to do and spend a great afternoon here. The only thing that drove me nuts was hubby and I were walking around and were slammed into by several obnoxious kids running around like lunatics. There was many families with strollers and toddlers. I do not have a problem with bringing kids here as it can be a great family spot but really kids that young that are so out of control. Hello, they bother other people that are trying to enjoy their peaceful day. This is and should not be a place for such young kids because it can put a damper on your quiet romantic time. Hubby and I had such a wonderful time here together. Every single person we encountered was amazingly friendly and so helpful. Great place to check out for a very fun afternoon all except the monster children!

    Schnebly's is a great relaxing weekend excursion. There is a wide selection of fruit wines to sample and enjoy on the premises. They were running a pretty good special - 2 tastings, a bottle of wine, and 2 tours for $20 per person. Can't beat that price! For the tasting you were able to sample 5 different wines and keep the monogrammed glass. Also, you can bring the glass back any time and get free tastings. There were wines made from avocados, coconuts, guavas, carambolas, lychees, mangoes, and passionfruits available for tasting and purchase. Most of these fruits do not produce enough sugar naturally to allow for a proper fermentation process, so fructose needs to be added during processing. The result is a sweeter taste, I would say very similar to a Riesling or a dessert wine. If you prefer a drier taste then these will be too sweet for you. Our favorites were the Cocovino and Lychee wines. We didn't like some of the others, but that is what the spit jar is for. The service was a little slow, they could probably use another bartender or two, but the tasting overall was very enjoyable. The tour was pretty informative. The operation is not that large so there is not too much to see, but the grounds are definitely very nice. The next time we will probably bring some lunch to have with a couple of bottles. They also have some cheeses available for purchase and consumption, but they are a little on the pricey side. I find it pretty funny that some other reviews have complained that the fruit wines are not considered real "wine". Fruit wine is actually well known throughout the world, and I'm pretty certain any true wine connoisseurs know that you will not find any wine quality grape farms in South Florida. I would definitely recommend Schebly's as a great day trip from Miami to experience something different.

    Wen't with my girlfriend to try out thier wine tasting. I found the wines that they make are a bit too sweet, but they have an awesome selection of beers that are brewed by them. The place is great for picnics, and the live music was great. Perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon.

  • Christian R.

    The location and decoration is great the wine is ok but the service sucks. I bought $180 worth of wines and the have me plastic cups to drink them from. How hard is it to have wine glasses available to enjoy the wine in. The first 4 times I came here the service was much better but it seems like the service just fell off the cliff.

  • Michelle B.

    This is a great place to go hang out and drink yummy wine. There's no particular dress code so it's pretty laid back. We went looking for the BBQ mentioned in earlier reviews and ended up going hungry. There are some snacks but nothing that will sustain you considering that you're drinking wine or beer. I found it to be kind of a pain to have to haul around the bottle of wine since they do not sell it by the glass and its pretty much self service as far as finding a place to sit. I wish I would have known that we could have taken our own food or just ate before we went. All in all it's a good time, I did see a lot of kids there. Not something I would do on a Saturday night, but they are allowed in. The band was great and the service is friendly. However they are young so don't be surprised if they try hit on you toward the end of the night once you've had some wine in your system.

    Made it to Florida's Southernmost Winery in the US... The trip was not overly scenic and I think our GPS sent us through a residential area.. But nonetheless, we made it! As you walk in you're sent to the register to choose your experience: wine tasting, wine tasting + tour, overpriced cheese/crackers, and beer tastings... We opted for the $15 combo and sampled 5 wines in a nicely sized glass. Cocovino, Avovino, Guava, Mango, and Cat 2 Red... None of them made with grapes but fruits grown on property. All good for the novelty of drinking wine without grapes. The tour consisted of walking inside their tank warehouses where they explain history/story of how the winery came about. Guide was nice and informative. The property is nice, it features tikis, waterfalls and plenty of seating. The beers were better than the wines.. The coconut beer and coffee porter were the more memorable selections... Overall, I would say a nice Sunday visit with friends and/or family.

    This was amazing! I had been dying to come down here for the tasting and it was well worth the $10. One gets to chose 5 from a list of 10. The bartender was quite helpful and quite cute and attentive. I tried carambola, coco-vino, mango, guava, and passion fruit. They were all generous pours and we had to enjoy the beautiful scenery for awhile before I was comfortable driving.

    We planned a birthday party at this place and NEVER AGAIN!! They say that there's NO COVER CHARGE before 6:00PM. What they DON'T TELL YOU is that if you come BEFORE 6:00 PM and stay, some A$$H0LE by the name of DAVID goes around CHARGING you a cover. Furthermore Davis was a SMARTA$$ claiming "The website says so because HE was the one who put it there". He kept on arguing and only not to ruin a birthday party we ended up having to pay. We will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!! I've never been so insulted in my life!!! He even came back to show me where the website says there's a cover after 6:00PM. When I tried to state the example of "If you hear a radio commercial that says No Cover Before a Certain Time that DOES NOT MEAN they will charge you if you got there early" to what he said "We're not a radio station". BEWARE of this place. We have 17 people and their families who will never come here again. Good job DAVID so-called-general-manager!!!

    Great place! Even though it's a winery, you see families there with young kids. Very family friendly, good for a date night, or just a night out with friends. Their karaoke nights are so much fun. BEAUTIFUL scenery. I recommend doing the tour. It's a one time deal, not much to see, but you still enjoy yourself. Another bonus is that you can bring your own food! I've seen people bring full meals :) definitely a bonus. Tons of outdoor seating! never had trouble finding a place to sit. They do have crackers and cheese and a few other the things for sale. The times I've gone, they've had a BBQ going on. Not sure if that's all the time. Overall great place! The staff is great!! :)

    ....................for snobby winos this is NOT a proper winery AND if you're budget allows you to enjoy the spa at the BILTMORE in CORAL GABLEs i would not advise this place BUT if you combine the two (a real WINERY and the BILTMORE) and make the result a budget saving opportunity then this is the place indeed NO it is NOT convieniently located near ANYWHERE but it is worth the trip IF you want to try something different and enjoy adventure minus the luxuriant parts the waterfalls provide a contant soothing mellow background sound that begins to seduce you in and the high walled protective surrounding perimeter seperation sections off the outside from the facilities inside - so you do feel like you've entered a special place and upon finding the bar i said to myself i'm gonna like this place the added feature is the people who answer ALL the questions, and serve the tastings, and guide the tour, and work the gift shop and retail wine counter and here you have TWO choices 1) either do some preliminary research beforehand or 2) go cold and rely on the people at the place to assist you - which is basically what i did and as the wine tasting progressed i felt less and less inhibited about asking questions, and learned the staff is indeed educated and knowledgable, and very very helpful - maybe the unique product and location makes the product and facility sell itself without promotional assistance from the people, but i never felt i was being sold something or being pushed i did observe that the more advanced experienced visitors and those who must have made multiple excursions here, were prepared with loose comfortable clothing, and coolers of food, and apparently, previous pleasant experience(s) to make a whole day of it here, and including the tasting and the tour, i myself spent four very relaxing and pleasant hours, only having the burden of a solid hour ride home to consider was i forced to depart the cost for TWO included a special tasting, an ultimate tasting, a tour, including TAX was $31 and we added a $10 TIP the splurge was for a bottle of passion fruit wine ($18) and a bottle of grand reserve sparkling wine ($29) which MIGHT BE MORE souveniers than new wine "finds" or maybe the second tasting at home will renew my sense of adventure i can only compare that this once happened to me on my first time SKIING and as much as i ranted and raved about the blast of an experience on skis i never went back since, and forty years has now passed me by on that promise to return, HOWEVER there were indeed those who i saw there who were regulars, and i can't say that i fault them in any way - i am however to old now to ever go skiing again, i might just return sometime soon to SCHNEBLYs i just have to give it a FIVE because, once i understand what it is, i have to admit it is very very good at it - but i can also understand anyone that doesn't get it as a winery or a fruit product(s) lined up with the wine industry grape

    Went for the first time with my cousin from a groupon purshased. Did the wine tasting on a friday night which is also Kareoke night. Place is beautiful even if it is far for anyone that doesnt live in homestead. When we got their we went straight to the wine tasting bar. Got our glasses and to choose five wines from a list of thirteen. I choose AvoVino, Carambola, Mango, Cat 2 Hurrican Red and Passion Fruit. Favorite were Cat 2 and Passion fruit. Wont recommend AvoVino or Carambola to anyone. If you go eat before you get there or bring food because they dont sell food food there. I bought $12.00 cheese and crackers. After tasting my cousin and i bought a bottle sat outside and watched the kareoke performances. We had a blast the only thing well change is the food and maybe bring bug spray. I dont know what the normal charge is because i had the groupon but i know they have info posted on the website.

    So exciting! We have a winery in Miami. Not a bad deal! Located in Homestead it is a tad bit bar from Broward but so worth the drive. First off it's not a typical winery, all the wines are actually fruit wines. Infused with guava, coconut, lychee, carambola. If you go i recommend the wine tasting. You get a souvenir glass and get to try 5 different flavors. My two favorites are the cocovino and the cat 3 hurricane (a mix of multiple flavors) Besides the wine they also have Beer! You can do the beer tasting, again with a souvenir glass.But hands down the best one is the coconut flavored one. Try it, i'm telling you you will not be disappointed. The winery itself is beautiful. They have a beautiful garden with a really pretty waterfall / pond filled with coi fishes. If you haven't been you NEED to go!

  • J R.

    Absolutely loved it! I live in South Broward and it was a good 1hr+ drive, but sooo worth it! I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed their wines, considering they are made with solely fruits, no grapes. As soon as I saw the avocado wine, I said, "uh, no...how in the h-ll is that supposed to be good - it goes in guacamole!!!" Oh. My. G-d.....delicious!!! I did the ultimate tasting and determined my favorite was the Cat 3 Hurricane. You can bring your own food, but they also have a deli where you can buy sandwiches and stuff. They had barbecue style food the night we went. It was reasonably priced and very tasty! They had live music from 6pm to 11pm - the band played everything from dance, R&B/hip-hop to salsa and merengue. My only complaint would be not of the winery itself, but of the "parents" that think it's OK to bring their children. I have 2 small kids (7.5 and almost 4) of my own and I would never bring them! It's like bringing your kids to a bar - yeah, calling DCF!!! These "parents" that did bring their children, weren't even watching them, so they were running around like maniacs and bumping into tables and people. Adults are there to have a good time...without their or other people's kids!!! Schnebly shouldn't allow children under the age of 12 on the property after 6pm (when it gets really good) and parents should know better than to bring their kids to a place where all they serve is alcohol. Maybe it's a good thing they are so far from where I live. Otherwise, I'd be there every weekend and have a serious drinking problem, lmao! Now, stop reading this review and friggin' go to Schnebly...and please don't be that a-hole parent and bring your kid(s)! =D

    I have loved this place for a long time. I remember when it was just a trailer, and now it is a parking lot packed, successful business. Our latest visit was in August, on a Sunday. We had a group of 15 or more. We went outside, and both big tiki huts were closed off. One being used for some kind of party, and the other was closed because there were not enough people? We heard the live music may not play, depending on how many people would show up. It did play, but it was hot! No fans, and not a lot of shade. Every table was full outside. People even left because there was not enough tables. Don't buy the food there, bring your own. Long wait, and expensive. The wine is a little pricey too, but worth the atmosphere. I spent well over $50 for two bottles of wine and three waters. I won't be back in the summer, but will when it cools down.

    I agree with Justin T the previous reviewer. This place is a complete waste of time. Its out in the middle of no where and the wine is mediocre at best. I personally thought all of them tasted awful with the exception of Hurricane WIne. Even if you go using a Groupon the best thing you will get out of an evening here is a semi nice wine glass that is yours to keep. Then again I would hesitate using it and being subjected to questions from family and friends who want to know about my experience here. Some of the reasons I rate this place so badly Location its like your at a friends backyard(if they have a nice backyard). Thats all it is a nice backyard. Value You have to pay a cover charge to get in and then pay again for the wine tasting. The actual wine tasting which was unorganized and chaotic. Its the equivalent of being at a club at 1am going up to the bar and tying to get the bartenders attention. Do yourself a favor if you like WIne go somewhere else. Miami has plenty of other wine events and tastings that are way better then this one. If all else fails go buy a bottle at Publix and take it home with you. I guarantee your experience will be better!

    We finally did it. We finally made it down here. We've been talking about coming down here for awhile and even have 2 expired groupons to prove it. The drive down has an old country feeling. The winery is nestled in between several nurseries. So dont expect to see much on your way down just a whole bunch of plants. Walking up to the entrance, we were greeted with 2 huge nutcrackers. Btw I love the holidays. You have the option between paying for a tasting and/or paying for a tour. We did the tasting. If you keep your glass, you get a discount the next time you visit. The 1st thing I saw when I walked in was Lychee wine. They have various nontraditional wines like avocado wine?! But don't knock it til you try it b/c it wasn't bad. Its definitely worth the drive.

    Ventured out to Homestead specifically for Friday night wine tasting followed by karaoke. We never made it to karaoke! :) We bought the wine tasting AND the beer tasting and really preferred the wines. Having toured a plethora of wineries multiple times in Oregon, Washington, and California, I put Schnebly right up there with the good ones in terms of the grounds, savvy wine experts, and the layout of the tasting area. This place is a WIN in my book! My favorites were the CocoVino (total coconut finish) and the Category 3 Hurricane. Schnebly was running a Thanksgiving special where you can get a case of wine for $10 with the purchase of a regular priced case, but we ended up just buying 4 bottles among the 4 of us. None of us were really fans of the beer. Personally, I'm a dark beer girl, and there weren't any true dark beers. The darkest had a coffee flavor, which wasn't bad, but the flavors of the beers just didn't do it for me. This IS a winery after all, so stick to the excellent fruity wines! There is no restaurant on-site, but Schnebly offered a BBQ to coincide with karaoke starting around 6 or 7 pm. They offered the typical meaty BBQ fare of hamburgers and dogs, so if that's your bag, you'll be really happy. The grounds here are BEAUTIFUL so if you have a chance, make some time to purchase a bottle and sip it out at the tables by the grass. They do have little snacky foods you can buy to go along with your wine, and spending a couple of hours here can really provide for a fun and relaxing afternoon!

    I love this place! It's one of the few places to go wine tasting in the area, plus they make their own exotic wines like "passion fruit" or star fruit. Their prices of their wine seem kind of steep to me, but the place is beautiful and their prices for wine tasting are not bad at all! Their property is gorgeous, seriously.. I would love to see a wedding here because it must be great. There's a waterfall, tiki-huts.. it's very tropical themed and rightfully so! Definitely check this place out or come on a Friday night when they have special events! It's worth it! I've also heard they started a beer line, however I haven't tried it yet... but I'll be on my way!

    This place is a little heaven...I love the fact that you ca go and disconnect from the real world, it almost seems as if you are taking a road trip to another state, it is far, but well worth it. The wines are different and the beers are great, I would definitely make this a nice place to visit when you just want to relax and spend quality time with your better half or friends. It is also a good place if you have little ones, they can run around and play while you sip on your vino... Tip: do take your items to munch on, the food is not that great and a bit pricey... you can save a couple of bucks by taking your snacks.... Keep an eye on Groupon or living social, they have great specials going on.... A raise my glass to Schnebly...

    What a waste of time! This so called winery was a joke from start to finish. First of all, the place is in the middle of nowhere. I had been hoping that the ride out from Miami would be worth it, but in the end it proved to be a huge disappointment. After the ridiculously long car ride, we got in line to pay for our tasting and tour. Once we made our way to the bar, we ended up waiting 10 minutes for the sorry excuse for a bartender to even acknowledge us. He was so hung up on these three girls that he simply ignored us. Eventually, the bartender from the other side of the bar came to help us out and treated us very well. Unfortunately, the service that the other guy gave to us didn't make up for the fact that the wine was just a grade above awful. Only a couple wines stood out, like the Hurricane 3. We actually bought a bottle with a credit we had. Once the tour started, bad turned to worse. The tour guide looked like he had just woken up; his hair was a wreck and his clothes hanging sloppily off of his body. He ended up talking so much on the first part of the tour about such irrelevant things that we snuck away from the tour once he tried to make a lame joke about his over-active bladder . . . Yes, he really did. Anyway, the place was a bust for my boyfriend and me. We have been to a lot of wine tastings and another vineyard, so we were a little prejudice because of far better experiences we had already had. However, some people seem to have had great experiences here, though. If you go, I hope you are one of them.

    Really nice place. Perfect for just hanging out and talking. I highly recommend it. I'm just a country boy from Oklahoma, and I didn't feel out of place, sitting around drinking beer.

    We decided to play tourist for the day and hit the Coral Castle, lunch in Homestead and then figured we'd give this winery a try. This just wasn't for us and I happen to love fruity sweet wines but I found an underlying "petroleum" taste to all the wines that was exactly the same so I'm assuming it comes from the process in which they make their wines. I was excited to try the Mango & passion fruit but they just didn't live up for my palate. It was a nice afternoon, it is a beautiful property and a fun experience. I think if you are making the Florida tourist rounds of South Florida it is still a cool thing to do. I'm giving it 3 stars simply because the property is gorgeous and the experience of saying you tried wine made from fruit in Florida.

  • Ben C.

    This little place is up to really big things! The wines here are all infused with local fruits like starfruit and even avocado. They are totally unique and are so refreshing and so Floridian! Schnebly's is now brewing their own beer too! They started brewing their one of a kind beers in a true island style, and it's fantastic! I only hope they start rolling them out in my area soon, that hour drive home es no bueno after a nice day at Schnebley's. Also look for their CAT I, and CAT II wines at Walgreen's in the SoFlo area.

    We came here during the week and during the day on vacation. I think that coming here on the weekend would be a different experience because there would be way more people (it was pretty empty with only another couple and a group of people seated outside), we could have gone on the tour of the facilities, and it seems like they have some fun stuff going on like music and dancing on weekends. But, despite the fact I wasn't there to see this place at its best, I had a blast and I was so happy being there. If you bring your own wine glass from a previous visit, you get a discount. The person I came with had glasses for all of us so we were able to do that and make a nice little trip out of it. We came here just for wine tasting and also purchased some cheese and crackers to go along with the wine. The tasting is pretty cheap ($9.95) for 5 tastings. The ambiance is pretty too. It's fun to take pictures outside by the fountain and inside at the bar. The service was friendly but there was only one person working the register and the bar so it was a bit slow. The cool thing about this winery is that none of the wines are made with grapes. And yes, I had no idea that that was possible either....the definition of wine can be broadened to include any fermented fruit beverage...go figure! My favorite wines were the ones made with guava, mango, and lychee (I like sweet wines). I didn't particularly like the idea of avocado flavored wine and so I skipped tasting those. One person I was with loved the wine so much that she bought two bottles to take home because she couldn't decide which one she liked better. The parking is not a problem here because there is a lot. The place seemed to be in the middle of nowhere though so if I had been driving I would have made sure to get really good directions as not to get lost.

    Friday nights = live music, Christmas lights, and wine tasting. It's a relaxing escape from, well, south Florida. Because they mostly have fruit wines, the options are pretty sweet - oaked avocado is the best bet for people who don't like to drink their desserts.

  • Patrick L.

    Come on, people. I hear some complaining that Schnebly's tropical fruit wines aren't "real wine." Well, these people are wrong. Per generally accepted definition, wine is simply a beverage derived from fermented fruit juice - typically from grapes, but not necessarily! Taking the tour, I found it interesting to learn that many of these tropical fruits do not yield enough juice, or even fermentable sugar, to get up to the typical wine texture and alcohol level. So, yes, sugar is added, but before you start bashing Schnebly for this, keep in mind that in some cases, nearly all of the sugar will ferment out, converted to alcohol by the yeast. For the beer crowd, rest assured, adding sugar is exactly the same way most of your favorite Belgian Tripels get up to such high alcohol levels, while landing quite dry on the finish. Schnebly's "Dry Avocado" and Oaked Carambola table wines and "Grand Reserve" bubbly are examples of this - all very dry. In some of the wines, a percentage of residual sugar is retained - these will be your sweeter wines. Their "Sweet Avocado," Lychee and Guava wines are among the sweeter table wines, and of course, most of the dessert wines are undoubtedly sweet, as would be expected. It's utterly pointless to try to judge these wines against your favorite Oregon Pinot Noir, so please don't bother. You might as well try to judge bourbon vs. Scotch. I was lucky enough to do both the regular tasting and the dessert wine/bubbly tasting - pretty much tasted all the wines. Some, I'd had before, but many I hadn't. I found something to like in all the wines, but my favorites are the Cocovino, Carambola, the Boo-Boo dessert wine, and the Lychee Dolce. Both the tastings come with a glass, so I left with a couple nice stems, one featuring a large bowl, and the other a sparkling/dessert wine flute. Not a bad deal at all. The beer tasting was shut down for the day due to the fact that they had a large group in the night before and pretty much ran out of beer. They were still pouring the Passion Fruit IPA, though. I thought passion fruit was a good addition to an IPA; really, most of these tropical fruits would be, since many American hop varieties already carry some tropical fruit character with them. In this case, the fruit just augments the hop aroma, and leaves a tart (but not sour) edge that I welcome as an added complexity in an IPA. The tasting room itself has an attractive, classy appearance to go with the clean, well-manicured grounds and well-tended fish ponds. On a recent Sunday afternoon, however, it was jammed to the gills. You'd best stake out a spot at the bar, and do not leave under any circumstances. Given how far south and west this place is, I was more than a little surprised at how popular it apparently is. I was expecting a modest crowd on a nice Sunday afternoon, but I wasn't expecting throngs of tourists and a party atmosphere. So much for this being a "well-kept secret" or a "hidden gem." If those days ever existed, they have long passed, because this place is popular. A must-visit during a day out in South Florida's farmlands.

    Whoever doesn't like this place is clearly insane. Where else in Miami can you get wine tastings of some of the most exotic, unique wines such as lychee, avocado, carambola, and passion fruit? No where! Bottles are available for purchase and then you can sit outside with your group enjoying the wine. This place has it all. The ambiance is a chill outdoorsy type place with live music on Friday nights where you can just kick back, drink wine with your friends, and shoot the sh*t.. I sincerely enjoy this place. Plus, they let you bring outside food if you want to bring your own cheese or what not. The only thing I must mention is that they close super super early (like 11pm or midnight) which makes it dangerous to drive home. Make sure you bring a D/D or just have, at most, one glass of wine (which is no fun). They kick you out right at closing time and you have no choice but to leave =(

    Location: 3.5 stars. It's in the middle of farmland (Homestead) Atmosphere: 4 stars. It has a beautiful outdoor decor with a waterfall and ponds full of many koi and some gigantic ones. You can also bring your own picnic food and eat at the tables and chairs. Service: 5 stars. The workers are very friendly, and gave us a good background on the winery as well as on each of the wines we tasted. THe place was started by a distributor company that found itself with excess fruit or fruit that was too ripe to sell. Wine: 3 stars. Unfortunately, despite me wanting to enjoy the uniqueness of these tropical fruit wines, I just couldn't help but be a lil disappointed. They're ok. My favorite was the avocado wine. The avovino (dryer version of avocado) was ok, but I couldn't catch the taste of avocado. It tasted more like a pinot grigio to me, which is fine, but I was hoping the "title" of the wine to shine. The passion fruit wine was just way too sour for me. The lychee and mango were also good, a bit on the sweet side. I would have loved to try the lychee champagne, but unfortunately that wasn't one of the choices allowed for Groupon. All in all it was a good adventure, venturing down to Homestead for a wine-tasting experience in Florida where you don't usually find vineyards. Great deal with the Groupon b/c we were able to pay $25 for two, where you each get to try 5 different types of wine, get 2 free wine glasses, and $15 credit (which is equivalent to getting a free bottle of wine). I probably would not go down again, as I am from California, and this trip confirmed my preference for grape-based wine. However, i would recommend to people looking for things to do outside of Miami.

    The place is absolutely beautiful, especially at night or on a beautiful sunny cool day. They have the largest Tiki hut I have ever seen and a waterfall for some good pictures. The wine is at best okay. Some love it and some can simply drink it because it is there and there are no other options. Prices are high for bottles but very native South FL for a northern friend. The drive is too far out in no man's land. The food selection is sad. I would think they would really step up their chesses to pair with the wines and have a good selection of crackers, breads and fruits. Chocolates would be nice too. You can bring in your own food if you like. I am going to go back on a Friday night as I hear that is a lot of fun.

    Where had Schnebly been all my life? My dad introduced me to this place about a year ago and I can't stop thanking him. Although it is a bit of a trek out to the middle of nowhere, after that first time it really doesn't seem that long anymore. You already know it's going to be worth the drive. The wines are non-traditional as none of them are actually made from grapes. They use tropical fruits like carambola (star fruit), coconut, lychee, mango, and they even have wines made from avocado. Wine tastings are available all day, everyday and are just $7 for a table wine tasting and $8 for a special wine tasting which include dessert and sparkling wines. What's the best part of the tasting you ask? You get to keep the glass they give you, and every time you bring it back - free tasting! Once you've finished your tasting you can purchase a bottle and head outside to sit and drink by the waterfall and listen to music play. You can also purchase crackers, cheese, and meats to pair with your wine but these are all a little overpriced. You can bring your own food though so pack a picnic basket and make a day of it. Favorite wines - Lychee, Passion fruit, Sweet Avocado (don't knock it till you try it) This is the best place in South Florida to just escape the madness and enjoy some good company, good wine, and beautiful ambiance.

    Awful experience! Complete false advertisement. First off, I don't consider wine made from mango and guava to be wine. My fault, I should have looked into it more. I guess I took it for granted, coming from California where we frequented wineries on a Sunday afternoon with the family all the time. To start, I trucked the entire family the 1.5 hours down here to be completely disappointed almost immediately after walking in the door. I called ahead of time and asked if we could bring our own food, which we could, just no beverages, even water...I get it, they don't want you bringing in outside wine and so on. Makes sense, most wineries have the same policy and we were happy to comply. So we packed up a few snacks to pair with wine ie... olives, cheese, crackers etc... As we walk in with our thermal bag in tow...we are practically accosted at the front door by an employee. Mind you, the main areas as we walked in had about 50+ people in it and she yells, practically at the top of her lungs as she is b-lines it towards us "Sir! you can't bring coolers in here"...first it isn't a cooler it's basically a lunch bag and I called ahead of time and there was no mention of a "cooler." You would have thought we had a bomb by the way she treated us. She made us take all of our food out and transfer it to a brown paper bag. Really? You can't just take a look into the bag to make sure there are no drinks in there? Ugh! If we hadn't driven 1.5 hours to get there and is my nieces wasn't looking forward to a hot dog so badly we would have turned around and left. We didn't bring enough for 6 of us to make a meal because they advertised BBQ on the property. Well, if you call a guy in the back throwing some Costco hot dogs on the grill and charging $6.50 a pop a BBQ then I would have to call you a liar. Not only was the BBQ pathetic but as we arrived at 1:30, they hadn't even started setting the food up yet. The website said 12:00-4:00...they barely had it going by 2:00. We sat down at an outside table and started getting settled in and laying out our spread of olives and cheeses and just as we got comfortable a gentleman walks over and tell us the we cannot have the umbrella to our table open because it was too windy...um if it was too windy we wouldn't have sat outside as all of our stuff would fly away dude....it was a nice comfortable breeze. When we asked him why? He told us that it was "common sense"...really? That is how you treat your customers? Are you calling us stupid that we don't have the common sense? We were all seething by this time with all these stupid rules and my mother in law says (love her) "where are all these rules you speak of posted?" We pack up and move to an indoor table and again got settled in. After buying a disappointing bottle of what they called wine (more like fruit punch) we decided to just go for the beer instead. How can they mess up beer right? So we order a taster flight. Once of the cups of beer was legit green, I was like "what is that all about?" the bartender replies, "oh that is still from St. Patrick's Day." Really? You think I want week old keg beer with green food coloring in it? Um No thanks! It gets better, we are having trouble carrying all these little glasses outside so the bartender finds us a box lid from something behind the bar to use as a tray. It was broken and falling apart but it would do for this task. The manager stops us mid trip and asked us if we could return the torn old box lid when we are done with it. Really? You want to keep this? You know what buddy? You can have it! How about you help us to our table, or better yet be a good host and follow us and make sure we are happy with the service and then maybe take the box lid out of our way. Geesh I have never worked hospitality before but I could think of a million ways to have handled a lot of these situation better...I mean it's "common sense" right? Now to the best part, a stray, very malnourished Rotweiler approaches the tent and we as Rotweiler owners walk over to it to pet her and give her some of our food. We were just about to take her home with us. Well apparently this place has no tolerance and came over to scold us for feeding her. Her theory is that if we continue to feed them they will come back. Don;t you see that your customers are all torn up over seeing this beautiful dog practically dying? Nope, this dog was a nuisance to them and they needed to take care of it right away. They recruited the dweebiest guy in the bunch to drag her out into the field and shooo her away. I could have punched him right there. Maybe call animal control. She is a Rotweiler for God sake, she will get adopted immediately if we didn't take her right away. Well that just about ruined it for all of us and we decided to pack up and leave.

    Just a nice spot to go hang out with family and friends. Kids can run around and one is able to bring their own food. Does get a bit too hot in this Miami summers and the mosquitoes are rampant -- but overall just a nice place. I am holding off to go until "Winter". Wines are sweet and the beers are decent.

    I love this place! What a nice little oasis in the heart of the Redland. I have been twice - the first time, I did the tasting. For the price of the tasting (I can't remember how much it was, but it was something totally reasonable) you picked 6 wines to try and a wineglass to take home. The wines were definitely all too sweet for "regular" use (except for the avocado wines), but I applaud them for their inventiveness. The second time, we went with another couple after the "Redland Rallye". The Rallye ended up at Schnebly's and it was a great, party atmosphere. They had a band set up in their outside patio and we purchased a few bottles of bubbly to go along with some snacks that were procured during the Rallye. Fantastic! The building itself is nice and the grounds are just beautiful. If it was closer, I would definitely check out their Friday night event.

    Damn this place is far, so expect to be there for most of the day. Took my mom for her birthday and she really enjoyed it. For the most part I liked 4 out of the 5 wines. Passion Fruit and Guavino being my favs. The tour was very interesting and the wine tasting was fun. The best part was you could bring your own food! I was very impressed w/ the staff as well. I wasn't able to stay for the night portion but noticed a lot more people enjoying themselves and getting ready to dance the night away. This place would be great to have a wedding in once they build the ballroom they mentioned.

    I've been here a couple of times already (most recently at the World Guinness Book challenge for Guacamole last year) but today was the first time I took a wine tasting. We went on a dull weathered Sunday but thankfully the rain held off and our company were not bothered by the little bit of drizzle in the air. The courtyard here is very nice and neat with lots and lots of shady areas to sit with tables and while away the afternoon. We had a walk around, fed the fish and then we figured that as we were here we should at least TRY some of the wines so we all opted for the regular tasting @ $6.75 each. Now get this...this is an AWESOME deal. Each person gets to sample five wines, but the guys are NOT dicks and if one person checks a wine that nobody else has, then they will give everyone a sample. So all in all between three of us we pretty much got to taste all of their wines (except the sparkling wines which have an extra charge). BONUS is that you get to keep your glass and can bring it back for free sampling next time. Which would be great if you lived just down the street ha ha. The wines were very different and I'm sure not to everyone's taste. My favorite was the regular Avocado followed by the Lychee. The last time I was there I was somehow drawn to the Avocado for some reason thinking it would be the one I preferred the most. I've seen the wines now being sold at Publix and Whole Foods but was always wary of buying them until today when I sampled them all and I DID end up buying a bottle of the avocado. Our bartender Manny was a sweetheart. Funny and informative and kept us laughing with his antics, even though we were fusspots and kept asking him to rinse our glasses. The great thing is, is that they allow you to bring outside food in. BUT NO COOLERS. So Like Marcos said...bring a sack lunch or some bread and cheese and fruit and have a lazy lunch. They do sell cheeses and salami and stuff but it's a little on the expensive side. They have live music on a Friday night but I wish they had music on a Sunday afternoon. That would be so great and a huge attraction.

    This place is definitely off the beaten path but worth the trip! I always get a group together and make a day in the Redlands. If you can I would recommend getting there early before 11am if you're going on a Saturday. It can get very busy! Also if you're from Miami chances are some of your friends or co workers have been here so borrow their wine glasses to get the wine tasting for $5. Older glasses with Miami on them get you a free . If you like to much while you drink be sure to bring your own snacks as the ones for sale are super overpriced.

    Wow I love this place! I'm very impressed! Such a gorgous place to spend an afternoon... AND with unusual wines. This place is great just to sit in the gardens and watch life pass by. Anyone can come and sit in the gardens for free. If I lived nearby, i would be just like one of the trees on a saturday afternoon. We took a wine tasting sample which cost $6 for 5 samples. however, our guide gave us about 10 samples and we got to keep the wine glass which you keep upon your return and the next wine samples are free. I loved the wines cause their unusual. Not made with grapes but avocados, passion fruit, lychees. Very odd flavors. I love the passion fruit wine. Tastes like a sweet tart. I can definitely come back here and spend an entire day!

  • Alejandra M.

    Love the location! In the middle of Homestead/Naranja - felt like we were a million miles away from Miami. They feature wines that are not made from grapes - because of some legality of some sort. I didn't pay attention. The wine is good. We're finicky and we liked all but 1 of them. And the 1 wasn't actually bad - it just wasn't as good as the rest. They have avocado, guava, star fruit, and so much more. You have to take the tour or get the tastings that they offer. Their prices are very reasonable. The service is uh, I'll call it "rustic relaxed." Everyone else would probably call it "slow." LOL But, they do let you order bottles of wine for your table so you can still get tipsy if they're taking too long between the 1 oz tasting pours. I think we were supposed to have 5 pours but I'm sure we sampled more than 5 wines. We just weren't good at remembering which one we had just tasted... ;) They don't have a selection of food here so don't come expecting to eat. They do have cheese platters with crackers and make burgers and hot dogs on the weekends or was it just Friday night? . On the plus side, you can bring your own picnic basket filled with food. As long as you buy the wine inside. No other drinks allowed. On a Friday night we went with a couple of friends and the entrance fee is ten dollars but you could stop by the Walgreen's or Publix in the area and buy a bottle of their wine which is $10 and get in for free as long as you show them the receipt. One receipt per person. You cannot buy two bottles and put them on the same receipt. I loved that they do this because you practically get in for free with the purchase of the wine. Or you can look at it as paying $10 to get in and you get a free bottle. YOU CANNOT take the wine bottle you purchased inside. Trust me I tried. LOL! That Friday they had Karaoke and dancing. Very lively. They seem to do this every Friday night. You might want to call ahead or visit their website. Fun for a visit. Nice place to bring out-of-towners who don't believe there are vineyards, in South Forida. Cheers!

    I'm glad I went here once, just to see what it's about, but I'd never go back. The staff was not friendly at all, and the area you're allowed to be in without paying for a tour is tiny and feels like a middle school cafeteria. There was a kids' birthday party happening, for goodness sake! Finally, the wines were just not good. Have you ever tasted rancid coconut oil? That's what the coconut wine tasted like. The only decent one was the lychee wine, but I'd rather have real wine any day. What a ripoff.

    So glad I finally drove the distance to see this place ... very very pretty at night. Lots of waterfalls, small bridges, tiki huts and flares. Music, lots of people having a good time - it was fun. I was actually surprised by how many there were, and how they seemed to be regulars. Almost everyone had brought lots of picnic basket food and there were many birthday cakes ... Everyone has described this in detail so I'll stick to my main points. 1) while the crowd was great, I was (like others in earlier reviews) taken aback by how many kids were running around (seemingly unsupervised) in the dark, all over the place. With so many adults around drinking, seriously??? 2) good wines overall - my favorite was the AvoVino. Although I can't see it as anything other than a good novelty, special occasion wine - the price range does not move it into my regular rotation. Plus fruit wines tend to disappear a LOT faster - 3) The tour was ok, the guide incredibly enthuasiastic but I would have liked to have seen more. The cold room was cool though - 4) I thought the hamburgers were ok, but $10 is a lot for hamburgers that aside from being grilled in front of you are reminiscent of the school cafeteria. Oh well, it's a captive audience. Which explains the extortionist prices on the cheeses, etc in the tasting room cold case. A larger variety of food would be good though, for those novice, clueless first timers ... who don't bring their own. 5) My main issue was with the tasting room. Incredibly packed with only 2 people helping out maybe 40-50 at a time. They were nice but so overworked trying to get to everyone. The way it worked, each did a half circle down the line over and over. The tasting was 5 wines. We finally got to the bar after about half an hour. Once there, it was another half hour till we were done. Waiting all that time was pretty off-putting. I don't see why they can't have tiny shot glasses at the ready and give everyone their selections all at once. Others I've been to have done it that way and it works much more efficiciently, imo. 6) Maybe I'll go again once they start selling the beer and making tropical fruit vodkas ... 7) Last but not least, the wine glasses they give out are HUGE~!

    So glad we were told about this place ! What a great afternoon. Really interesting wines (no grapes - all made from tropical and exotic fruits. The staff could not be more friendly, or knowledgeable. They also have a deli counter with some really interesting cheeses (the bleu brie is to die for !), an acoustic guitarist outside on what are breathtaking grounds. Definitely worth the visit ! Visited September 2013

    Cool place to BYOC. (bring your own crowd). This place makes various types of fruit wine ie mango wine, kiwi, etc. and not your traditional grape wine ie chardonnay, merlot, etc. Something different one thing I was told is that the shelf life of these Schnebly wines in the bottle are about 14 months at best. So drink up!

    This place also offers tiki hut weddings from 65 to 300 guest. You can also choose their courtyard for a wedding ceremony. It's a great location for a couple looking for a unique tropical venue. They even offer signature drinks made with local produce.

    For a sweet, sweet girl like me (at least when it comes to my taste in wines), there's nothing better than a winery whose specialty is tropical fruit. It's like they had me in mind! The atmosphere is an additional bonus, as the waterfalls, palm trees and koi pond make for one hell of a relaxing set up. I'd been here once before for an avocado festival, but we returned recently to enjoy some tastings. The "ultimate" tasting includes five wines, and I absolutely chose the perfect five for my personal palate. The best part is, even if you don't like super sweet wines (which I do), there are plenty of other options. My faves: cocovino, avocado, lychee, category 3. All sweet, all delightful. My companion chose dryer, less sweet wines (avovino, and some others I can't recall :), and enjoyed his immensely. Our server was totally nice, too, and hooked us up with some free tastes. We also got to keep the glasses (which, inanely, say "Miami") This place is what the tropics is all about, and I'd come back anytime. They do have a membership program I'm seriously considering - free tastings every weekend!

    Our own Winery here in Miami !!!! How cool is that!!!! If you've never been, then it's a MUST to put on your list of things to do and go. A small winery but, very nicely done. and for $7 for tasting and keeping the sovenir glass, what's not to like? bring the glass back on your next visit and it's free tasting :) They don't have a restaurant or snack shop, only downfall, but they do invite a Crepe maker and have a BBQ guy come out every Sunday. Check the list of activities there are bands playing, Karaoke nights, and BBQ Sundays. Great place to bring a date and taste wine, relax under the Giant Tiki, you can even bring your own cheese or bread. Definitely 2 thumbs up. There are a lot of mixed reviews for this place, Scnebly's should look at the ratings and acknowledge they have a problem. It may be with a few individuals, but if they plan to stick around customer service is Key. Always. I was one of the lucky ones to have a good experience.

    Let's have wine! What? You want a locally grown wine? No worries, why not try South Florida's unique wines that cannot be found anywhere else? America's Southernmost "tropical" winery. They produce wines out of carambolas (aka star fruits), lychees, mangos, guavas, and passion fruits. It is already becoming a tourist trap due to its popularity, but nevertheless, it's still a great place to visit. My favorite so far is the guava and the mango. $6 5-wine tasting, $6 tour available. The tour is only availabue during weekends. And you even get a glass cup. Bring it back, and you get free tasting! How does that sound?!

  • Jessica A.

    This is a fun place to visit on a bored weekend. The wines are very sweet, being that they are fruit based, the price for a tasting is very reasonable. My major complaint being that the "tasting" is very disorganized on a crowded weekend, with two employees catering to a cramped bar. Atmosphere is picturesque. The best part for me was splitting a bottle of our favorite outside after the tasting.

    Ah Schnebly's your groupons are great. for $30 bucks you get admission, glasses and wine tasting for 2 plus a $15 credit to purchase something. I've always wanted to go but always passed on the groupon since my boyfriend isn't much of a drinker. Little did i know that he purchased a groupon for me a while back but we never had time to use it. When we finally got to go for a birthday celebration it was packed. Usually when you have an expired groupon the value never expires just the promotion. So we went up to pay and showed our expired groupon, said we had an expired groupon expecting to get the $25 dollar admission waived and some cost off of wine tasting, and instead they gave us 90% of the value (everything except the wine glasses since our friends let us bring theirs) I mentioned it was packed- over capacity packed- Mr. Schnebly serving people kind of packed. Yes I met Mr. Schnebly at the brewery area that night serving and opening bottles, but not working the register which kind of backed up the one person who was... but alas you get the picture. The wine tasting area was full, so we threw our tiniest member into the chaos to merge into a spot. After about 15 we found a spot and our server was able to get to us. I mentioned it was packed right? well they had run out of tasting sheets so we all shared one and kept track of our wines. Since it was so crazy they let us try the entire menu instead of the regular tasting which limits you to table wines, so we were able to try the sparkling and dessert wines too! out of all the wines we tried that evening the sparkling passion fruit and cat 3 won my heart. Oh best part they still let us keep the glasses since it was so busy! after our tasting we still had our $15 credit since we had no clue what wine we would want before tasting but the line to buy wine was crazy so since our friends really wanted to try the beers they brew (yes they brew beer too!) i offered my credit to purchase a pitcher. At the bar they let us try 2 of the beers. One tasted like coconut it was awesome but the others didnt care for it so we went with the sharkbite which was just as good. while we were waiting right behind me was a case of the cat 3 so i picked up on bottle and added it to our tab at the beer bar how nice! Some of our friends brought their kids and they had a blast playing with the other kids that were there which was really nice. we didnt have to worry about what to do with the kids now they have food there you can buy but I've heard its pricey, but you can bring food with you so next time i will be packing a dinner. Long story short version: go with your expired groupon on a saturday night you might get the full promo value. Bring some food, and enjoy the place. Kid friendly if you care to bring them along

    Awesome ambiance, good wine. But when closing time comes, ladies your purse will end up in a black garbage bag. The staff there is a whole bunch of thiefs. They can't wait for the wine teasters to finish parting and steal your purse. You will have to fish out your car keys of the black garbage bags, when the tables are full of empty bottles. BAD EXPIRIENCE, DON'T GO THERE!!! You will have to park in the mud, pay, and have your purse snatched.

    We came here again this weekend to do the entire tour, the two tastings (regular and sparkling) and to spend some time on the grounds. The staff was amazing, as always. They are extremely helpful, friendly and seem to go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. Please remember to tip your tour guide and bartender, I am sure they do not make enough for the wonderful service they provide. We started our time here with the 1.30 PM tour (NOTE: tours are only given on Saturdays and Sundays) which was $ 7.00 each. Well worth the money, the tour guide gave a great explanation of the history and wine making process that Schnebly uses. They are also supposedly going completely solar, in addition to the recycling programs they already have in place. Kudos to Schnebly for trying to be self-sufficient! We continued our day with a regular and sparkling tasting (about $ 14.50 each person for both). The bartender was absolutely wonderful - he explained each wine and pairing beautifully, was extremely attentive and even gave us a tasting of a few of the other wines for free. You are allotted 5 choices for the regular and 4 choices for the sparkling...and they are heavy pours, so either pace yourself or spit out the wine. We ended up trying at least 12-14 wines. Our favourites are the dry avocado, the regular avocado, the sparkling passion fruit and a mix of mango/dry avocado that the bartender told us he invented. This is a great place for an interesting date, you will not be disappointed! They also offer fine meats and cheeses for sale at the counter to pair with any bottle you wish to purchase.

    Tell me why do I have to pay $42.00 dollars to get into a place. where I have to purchase their wine and still bring my own food, just to have a glass a wine and listen to music?? I took my family over this past Holiday Season to check out this winery, what a disappointment. When I found out from the Manager that you must prepay to sample wine and he didn't reveal that price. Well that was it and by the way the food that you can purchase there;$9.00 for six Asian Chicken Wings. What the heck are Asian Chicken Wings?? All the wines at Schnebly Winery are fruity not my glass of wine. There is no Merlot or Chardonnay's. A true disappointment after about 30 minutes my family and I left and went to eat somewhere else. They can keep their $42.00 dollars. I will not return, Of yeah you can purchase their wine at your local Publix Supermarket for about $5 dollars less.

    Beautiful place, great on friday nights with live music show.Good place to be relaxed with friends,talking, listening music, eating something(you can bring your own food, cheese, fruit,) The place is far if you live in miami,it is in the middle of nowhere in the homestead area. It worths the trip if you are not picky in terms of tasting & or being a wine conosseur. They are not pretending to be the best wine makers, their value comes from trying to give life to this remote area by bringing tourists & businesses. We brought cheeses, ham, dips, and had lots of fun while we listened to the nice live group of musicians. Good place for easygoing people, families and small groups.

    If it wasn't for the horrible service, I would easily give Schnebly's 5 stars. We love the beautiful atmosphere and artfully crafted beer and wine; however, the consistent poor service makes us question our patronage. The poor service started with the cashiers at the front who looked at us like we were aliens when we asked about the brewery tour and, when we finally paid, stated "that's it?" When they rang the bell and announced the winery tour was about to begin, I asked the tour guide if that also included the brewery tour (because they were marketed separately.) The man rudely answered in passing "they're the same" in a tone that implied I was stupid for asking. After taking the tour with the young man who was cocky enough to make sure everyone knew his phone number was not available, we continued inside to enjoy the delicious beers that we came for. Not only did it take several minutes to get the bartenders attention while they were texting on their phones, but also we were denied purchasing a growler to go because they abruptly "shut down" the register. We were told to go wait in the line at the front to pay there (which was a 20 minute wait in the first place when we began our wonderful experience.) For 3 years we have been driving 1.5 hours to Schnebly's for their great products and atmosphere, but every time we are sadly disappointed by the lack of service from careless kids. We hope to see a friendlier, more attentive, and knowledgable staff in the future as this institution grows.

    I've been here a couple of times. Personally, it is worth the drive & my favorite wines are the Lychee & Category 3 Hurricane. The customer service, atmosphere & complete experience is memorable. Great to enjoy with friends, family or just have a picnic outside while enjoying the cool breeze. I strongly recommend thiabplace to everyone!

  • Grey S.

    This is a wonderful place to visit. You can bring your own food and have a picnic on the beautiful grounds. My wife and I usually do that and do a wine tasting at the same time. Once you buy your first wine tasting, you get them free for life as long as you bring back your glass (which is a nice wine glass engraved with "Schnebly's.") They also have beer, which they brew from tropical fruits. The two downsides are that the beers and wines are very sweet and that the place is very busy on the weekends. If you are a Miami local though, there is no excuse for not visiting this place!

    Nice place but too long of a drive for me to go back regularly. If you like wine then this place is for you. Definately a cool little field trip. Guys don't worry there is beer. My favorite was the coconut but the guys in my group loved the Guava. Another cute date idea, also good for groups and good for the pocket since you can take your own food.

    We were looking for something to do today so hopped in the car and asked GPS lady for recommendations of places to visit. A winery here in South Florida!? You bet. We went after lunch to check it out. All the wines are made from locally grown fruits. We enjoyed the tasting of the mango, carambola, avocado (YES, avocado!), and lychee. My favorite was the lychee. You can bring your own picnic food, purchase a bottle and enjoy it under the chickee hut. We did the tour to learn about the process of making fruit wines. The guide was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. We were there mid-day so the music we heard was piped in, but there are live music events in the evenings. For sure will pack some food for our next visit. What a nice way to spend a beautiful afternoon. The out of town guests will surely appreciate a visit here. Take them.

    This place is wonderful!!!!! Their wine is the best!! My 3 favorites are: 1.Category 3 hurricane 2. Lychee 3. And Mango They are soo fruity and yummy!! I go through a bottle as if I am drinking juice and then wonder why I feel funny. If you haven't gone yet I highly recommend you do!! you can bring your own food and have a picnic as long as you buy the drinks there, It is such a beautiful place.We have done 3 wine tastings there and I am a little bummed that the lychee isn't part of their tasting menu anymore but oh well, that is just the perfect excuse for me to buy the bottle.If you have kids it is the perfect place to let them run around while the adults hang out. Also If you take your own Schnebly wine glasses to the tastings it is half off! (Yay for me and my collection of Schnebly glasses Lol ) .

    First of all, let me just say that I wish I had visited this place sooner. The Schnebly Winery was such a breath of fresh air after being so tired of going to all the "typical" spots around Miami. I went with a couple of friends on a busy Saturday night. Supposedly, it was the night they were debuting their new beers, which I am a big fan of. We waited in line just a few minutes to pay an entrance fee at the door (which is only enforced on Saturdays). As soon as you walk in you cant help but notice the beautiful ambiance in this place. It is very laid back and it's just the perfect spot to feel like you are on a vacation away from crazy Miami. My friends and I were able to sit outside on a breezy night on a wooden deck overlooking a small pond and waterfall near the beer station. Close enough to hear some of the live music coming from the first tent/station. The prices are pretty decent. It's typically around $7-10 for a wine tasting of 5 different kinds of wine. All of which are from locally grown fruits. Very exotic flavors ranging from lychee, coconut, and even mango. My favorite was the cocovino and the lychee. The beer sampling was about $5 and they were also infused with wonderful fruit flavors. I tried the mango, guava, and carmbola. The mango was my favorite beer. My best friend and her sister are actually VIP members (which you can achieve after buying a case of wine (12 bottles) for a reasonable price of $120-$150). They get to enjoy discounted prices, free tastings, free tours, and so much more. I'm saving up some money for the next visit! It would have been a perfect night if it wasn't for the millions of small children who were in attendance for the various birthday celebrations that were going on. Normally, I am not bothered by little running tikes but in this kind of adult atmosphere it just seemed out of place. There were many running around un-attended and bumping into people. Aside from the kids, we had such a great experience here. It really feels like you're in the countryside somewhere on a plantation. It is definitely a good place if you feel like getting away from all of the typical Miami "hot-spots".

    The wine is interesting. I am not a fan of sweet wine or alcohol. This wine is sweet. The wine isn't horrible, it is actually really smooth and has body, but I'm just not into the sweet stuff so I can't really give it more than 3 stars. They also brew beer and have some interesting beer flavors. The place is chill and the people are nice.

  • Andrew J.

    The Redlands area of SW Miami Dade is a unique place. It's farm country and it looks more like the midwest than Florida. A visit to Schnebley's is a nice day trip and it will change your opinion about fruit wine. The property consists of a wine shop/tasting room, the winery and a large tiki covered picnic/event area with a fish pond and a waterfall.. For $10 you can sample 5 different wines. Some, like guava and passion fruit are sweet, but they also make wine from avocado and starfruit that are very dry. They sell sausage and crackers to snack on inside and grilled food from the BBQ outside, but you can bring your own picnic basket. They give tours of the winery as well. If you're in the mood for something completely different, check it out. It's about a 50 mile drive from downtown Miami so you will need a half a day to do it. For motorcyclists, it's a great ride. Not too many cars out there and no red lights either!

    I have known about Schnebly Redland's Winery for quite some time now and have always wanted to go, but the desire to drive an hour to remote Homestead never allowed me to do so. One Friday night, I decided to take the trek south convincing myself that a winery in South Florida was a sight to be seen and that wine tasting, music and karaoke will be well worth it. I must say I am not a city girl; I grew up in the suburbs but I am definitely not a country girl either and a late night drive to the winery was out of this world. It reminded me of the classic horror films when the characters break down in the middle of nowhere and the only person around is the crazed serial killer whose house you stop at and ask to use their phone. It was that kind of drive. But no fear, we rode through the dark lonely night likes G's and finally made it there. I was relived to see the parking lot was packed. After driving for so long and not seeing any cars, I was excited to see that the winery was on and popping. As we entered, music was playing, people were dancing and everyone was having a great time. We decided to head straight to the tasting area to do the Ultimate tasting of five different types of wine and it was jam packed inside. They had two small serving stations; one for wine and one for beer. My only issue was that only about 4 people were serving so things moved slowly. People were also crowding around the stations so it took some time to get in but it was well worth it (unless you are a very impatient person). It was my boyfriend and I, so we decided to taste both the sparkling and table wines. I was not a fan of all of them, but I did love the Category 3 Hurricane Vino and the Lychee so we ended up purchasing a bottle of each; one to drink now and one to take home. After the tasting, we went back outside to find a table. We sat back, jammed to the music, laughed at some of the karaoke singers, got drunk, you know the usual. I had a fun time, got a glass and bottle to take home, and didn't have to spend too much cash. Sure, South Beach is always a good time, but for Friday night fun, this was so much more low key and just as much fun. Plus for "non-wine", wine, it was some pretty great stuff!

  • Matthew O.

    After five years of driving past Schnebly's twice a day, I finally decided to attend one of their Friday night events. I would probably have rated them much higher if I could stand to drink any of the wine they make. I haven't tried all of their wines, but the ones I have tried have been too sweet for me. Luckily for me, they also serve beer. The event I we went was something they do most weekends. They have pretty good bands playing on their grounds and they allow you to bring in your own food. The only drawback is that you have to drink their wine. The band last night was a pretty cool southern rock cover band. Pretty fitting music for the Redlands. So to wrap this up, the wine isn't favorite but the scene there is cool. I will continue going there for my Friday night entertainment.

    As the natural course of things goes... all good things must come to an end. This place used to be such a great place where you could pack yourself a lunch and come in and buy a couple bottles of their wine, sit back, enjoy the live music, and let the afternoon drift by. Now they dont even open the back part to the public and scold you if you mistake them for their former selves and walk in with a lunch bag (heaven help you if there is a baguette peaking out of the top of it lol). And,if you dare take out the 'old' version of their wine glasses you will be told every two minutes how you should get one of their new cups because 'takes the flavor of the wine to a whole different level'. I'm not disputing that, I'd just like to not be pushed into buying another glass every time I make eye contact with an employee there. What a total disaster this place was on our last visit a couple of weeks ago. I'll probably never go back there now. And its such a shame because it used to be this really lovely place. Oh well.

    Really nice surprise that we have this place in South Florida. Gets quite crowded on a Saturday night. They offer a live ban, and BBQ food for sale. If you are a red wine fanatic (such as myself), don't get your hypes up. Their wines are primarily white wines (nontraditional). Regardless if you are a fan of their wines (and now they have a brewery), you can have a good time here.

  • H. D.

    It was a nice place. We did all 3 tastings. The wine, the port/dessert wines and the beer. It's of course a very different flavor from regular wine being that there are no grapes in any of their wines, just exotic fruits. Our favorites were the CocoVino (coconut wine), The Mango Wine, the Category 3 (delicious!), the Lychee wine & Lychee Sparkling wine. There were other flavors like Avocado and some others but I wasn't a fan. The beers were interesting too. We purchased a few items as well to bring back home. I would def. check this place out if you're in the area. The only reason I give this a 3 stars is that I am a major fan of wine made from grapes and of course the taste wasn't the same. The water fall and gardens in the back were beautiful but they did have an area closed off for some kind of event. I would've loved to see the entire place. I heard they do a barbecue in the back around a certain time which is pretty neat too. Place was clean and organized. After your tastings you get to keep your glass that's etched with the Schnebly logo. :)

    Last night my lovely bride and I brought in the new year at Schnebly's Redland Winery. It was the perfect low-key and romantic way to bring in the new year especially considering that I had to report for work at o'dark thirty this morning. After checking in for our reservation we headed straight to the Tasting Bar inside where we found Patrick, an extremely friendly and knowledgeable employee. He hooked us up with some wine glasses and a couple tastings of their libations which I found to be a middle of the line quality of wine. Perhaps it's not fair that I recently returned from Mendoza, Argentina and went on a top-notch wine binge. Schnebly's does have some good wines but they also have some not-so-good wines. My favs were the CocoVino and AvoVino, we bought a few bottles of wine and bubbly (because that's how we roll) and staked out our make-out space/dinner table for the midnight hour. What's Good: - Patrick at the Tasting Bar is easy going and friendly - Beautiful property, I see why people get married there - CocoVino/AvoVino wines are deelish! What's Ugly: - Carambola Oak wine tasted like paint thinner

    What a hidden gem in the middle of no where! Stopped by after having breakfast at cracker-barrel. We bought 2 ultimate wine tastings which consisted of 2 pretty wine glasses that you can take home and a tasting of 5 of their wines for 10.00 pp. WInes were delicious! They also offer tours of their winery if your in the mood for that sort of thing. Very nice hang on a Sunday afternoon.

  • Marcos R.

    This place is terrific. I didn't get a chance to go when they had live music, which would've been great; but you can always buy a bottle or two and enjoy it in the courtyard regardless if anybody is playing live. Most of the wines are sweet, really sweet; which makes it kind of tough to enjoy an entire bottle in one sitting. They do have an avocado wine, and that one is subtle and maybe another type that is mild in flavor as well. Bring a sack lunch with you or some bread and cheese.

    A hidden gem in the heart of the agricultural area of Homestead. A nice place with a big yet busy wine tasting area, pretty gardens, and plenty of outdoor seating. Despite being a vineyard that doesn't grow grapes, this place offers some nice wine options. I was especially a big fan of the lychee (sparkling) wines and the mango wine. Others are hit or miss, but you can definitely find something for everyone. Overall a great wine-tasting excursion destination with some decent wines.

    my awesome day in the southern part of the county was topped by a stop in schnebly's...i only wish i knew about this place sooner! the wines in schnebly's are fruit based- my favorites were the avocado and the guava. a friend gave us schnebly wine glasses, so we had the tasting for free. we took the tour (it was $7 but not really worth it, IMO) and our tour guide was very funny. he tried his best to speak Spanish & slaughtered quite a few words. the location is beautifully landscaped & has a great feel to it. i can't wait to go back, buy a bottle, and soak in the scenery. ahhhhhh!

    This Place is BEAUTIFUL. but thats it. We went here for my friends birthday this last weekend. I couldnt get over how gorgeous it was. I get in and go to get a bottle of wine to share with everyone. Let me say its INSULTING to call this wine. It tastes like overly sugary juice. Whatever, I dont want to be rude so I keep drinking. In total I had 3-4 small glasses of wine in a 4 hour period. I go out drinking at least once a week and usually my boyfriend and I share a bottle of wine once a week so Im not a light weight or anything. I wake up the next morning and I feel like my stomach is coated in tar. I spent my entire Sunday bedridden with the exception of frequent trips to the bathroom. No headache at all. This is not a standard hang over. I talked to almost everyone that went to the winery with us and lo and behold every single person was going through something similar to what I was. The only ones who didnt get sick are the ones that did only the wine tasting that had 5 little sips. Point being, its two days later and while my stomach is definatly feeling a bit better, its only a BIT. i will never never never drink this wine again. Sorry schneblys

    This was a completely horrifying experience from beginning to start. First I arrive in what seems to be the entrance, only to be greeted by an over-zealous preteen directing me to another, further parking area. There I was met with yet another over-zealous preteen who kindly pointed me in an obvious direction-meaning I'm not sure why he was even there. Once I made my way out of their "parking lot" of grass (in 6 inch heels) I went to the table where they stole 8 of my hard earned dollars. This gothic miserable turd who was incapable of making eye contact did nothing more than piss me off and take my money. I asked where I should go to meet up for my friends birthday (as this was my first visit and I was not familiar). She merely nodded her head towards the meeting area. Even now, in my recollection I'm angry. Lets fast forward to the good stuff. And by good stuff I'm being the most sarcastic I've ever been. Let's not even talk about the "wine tasting". Two weirdos just huddling around a bunch of middle aged women in heat trying to please them all at the same time. But really pleasing no one. Trying to get a seat there was like battling hyenas in the jungle. So I quickly made my exit to skip all that and buy their "wine" before "happy hour" ended. I purchased two bottles of Cat 3. After I was victimized as a result of the "wine tasting" I decided that was one of the more tolerable wines that wouldn't give me goose bumps like all the others. Let's cut to the chase here. I had two days of the runs and a head ache that could kill a small animal. I hated every moment of it, even after I left. Thanks.

    A winery. Can it get more 5 stars than that? Yes it can! With a beautiful courtyard, surrounding waterfalls and only $9.95 to taste 5 unique and ridiculously refreshing wines, it definitely can. I'm not talking grapes. Schnebly is all about exotic fruits. I had Guava, Avocado, Carambola (by the 3rd glass I cannot name the other fruits). There is also a tour you can engage in for about $7. I did the tour and well, wasn't amazed. But then again, for $7, why wouldn't you want to go walk around the property and end up in a freezing room where they store the wine? (great photo opp). I'm giving 5 stars due to taste of wine, knowledge and suggestions of bartender, ambiance and cool dude singing John Lennon tunes outside. I will recommend they up their bar staff as the wait is a little more than unpleasant. I also think that small tapas should be somewhere in their near future. Eat before you go.

    Lovely wine selection, the grounds looked well kept and picturesque, our waiter Jesus was wonderful, and I got a free tasting because it was my birthday, they also had some "deals" when buying wine, they seem to change often but we bought 6 bottles and got one free. I loved the white hurricane cat 2, but many of the others were lovely as well. If your a fan of the dryer wines then you won't like this place they all have fruity notes to them and are mostly white or rose, perfect for my pallet but each his own. The only reason I don't rate it higher is that coming from key west I found the Miami crowd that was clogging up the place on a Saturday highly obnoxious, the winery could have a more organized seating/ waiting situation for crowded times so that I don't get shoved over by some obnoxious city ass, but all in all a lovely experience.

    This review is long overdue being that I've been to Schnebly's a handful of times in the past year. It's the perfect location for a date night, an afternoon with friends or a birthday. I will say though that I went this past Friday for a coworker's retirement party and we got killed by the mosquitoes. In the past, I'd only gone in the winter and spring months. I suggest taking ALOT of bug spray if you plan on going in the Summer. I sprayed myself every hour and I still have about 100 bites. Okay so now onto the wine. My favorite is the Carambola Oak. They've got all types of wines from guacamole, guava, lychee and more. They even have a sparking wine too! Score! Plus they sell cheeses, salamis and other goodies there. Not to mention they allow you to bring food from outside if you'd like at NO extra cost. I promise you...next time you're looking for something to do on a Friday night or on a weekend afternoon (preferably not in the Summer months though) go to Schnebly's. I know it may be a far drive for most (even myself and I'm in Kendall!) but it is just such a gem I think. Good times!

    This place is so peaceful. I went to visit on a Wednesday and it was just phenomenal. It was just relaxing, far enough from my crazy Miami scene, to feel as if I was in a totally different state or even country. It is a bit romantic. The wines were very different. I already knew about the concept but I was definitely not ready for what I was going to try. My favorite ones were the Hurricanes both categories and the Bo-Bo. I could use the guava to cook with. Maybe pork chops. The lychee was good a bit sweet but perfect for a dessert wine. The beers were different not to crazy about them but the experience is worth it. And also to show support to local businesses. I will love to do it again someday maybe on a weekend to get the Whole tour and enjoy the bbq and live music. This part is still on my to-do list.

    Heard the name from a Coworker. Ordered a case for the holidays for gifts. Will update on taste later. I do want to point out...EXEPTIONAL Customer Service!! Will definitely be taking a trip down South to check out the atmosphere and enjoy some local wine tasting. Congratulations!!

  • Ozzy R.

    Fruity wine you say. Nope its grape juice with alchohol, its avacado,mango, lychee, passion fruit, and guava as wine flavors. I was a little skeptical about these types of wines but i ended up liking them. A great local to spend the day and feed some fish also. They got some big mutha effers there in the pond!!! DAM!!! We all ended up pretty much tasting all the wines there for $6.00 and got a cool lil wine glass to boot. They also do tours of the locale along with the wine tasting. They server gives you a cool little backstory to the wines you are tasting which is a nice touch. Everyone there was super freindly and welcoming and i look forward to going again to buy some wine.

    On a day trip down to Homestead last weekend I made this a must stop on my list. I am fruity, Reisling-loving wino so the mango and lychee varieties were right up my alley but if you have a more sophisticated pallet you might be disappointed. The outdoor area is BEAUTIFUL. I could totally see having a wedding here surrounded by the waterfalls. You can buy a bottle and some cheese and crackers and have a lovely picnic out there. But if you're not into drinking and chilling there is not much to do. The tasting is only $6 for five wines but the pours are miniscule. Literally one drop each. However, it does give you a good idea of what you like if you're planning to buy a bottle. FYI - saw same bottle I bought at Schnebly's in Publix for $3 less. But the atmosphere on a nice day makes up for it.

    A fun way to spend an evening in Homestead, and surprisingly mosquito-free. The avocado wine was probably my favorite, and the lychee was interesting, albeit a bit too sweet for my taste. Try both samplers, they're worth it. Buy a few bottles for the folks back home too- from Publix. Oddly they're a lot more expensive from the winery. Also, the name is funny. Schnebly's. Haha.

    You can come on Friday nights with food, buy wine and hang out and watch music. The grounds are LOVELY. The wine is all fruit based and I liked the AVO and the guava wine. I am not a fruit wine lover. I really think this place is a wonderful spot for people not familiar for all that we grow in South Florida and it is a lovely view of the Redlands which is beautiful in and of itself. A good spot!

    This place really is in the middle of nowhere, and when our GPS failed to navigate us there (it wanted us to drive on Farmer John's tractor "road") we called the winery, with no answer. Finally made it, and received little information about the tasting options even after I mentioned we'd never been there before. We did the wine and beer tasting with tours, which ended up being a $60+ tab. Recently coming back from California wineries, this was a little upsetting. The wines were interesting, with Lychee as the favorite but I would have appreciated info about how the sparkling wines were a different tasting purchase. We also experienced short staffing. The beers were interesting again, but I would not make a special trip here again.

    Not exactly napa valley, but a fun experience. Something very different to do in Miami. Some wines are better than others but the place is vey cool and the tasting was great. You can take food and have a nice picnic in their outside area with some of their fruity wine. Everyone was very nice and gave great service !

    I have been to Schnebly a few times, most recently this past weekend. The grounds are serene and we really enjoyed our visit. I was not too happy that a large portion of the grounds were roped off for private tours but that's their way of making more money I suppose. Unfortunately this past Sunday we arrived to discover the grounds were closed for a private event. We had attempted to access the website before we came but for some rather silly reason you must apply for access and get approval. If we had been able to access the site perhaps we could have known... Not even the Facebook page mentioned being closed for a private affair. Hope they take a hint and do something about this. Post a calendar on Facebook or your website! The wine is good but the staff is inconsistent. Our first visit included a wine tasting. The young man was friendly and knowledgeable. He invited us to walk the grounds with our first glass and return when we were ready for more. But when we returned for a subsequent glass, he had stepped away and the young lady treated us like we were going to skip out without paying. She made a big fuss about us paying up before she would serve us. We are not vagrants, we are 50-something professionals. At that point we decided not to buy the case of Avovino we had intended to buy for home. It's not nice to be treated so disrespectfully by children. This past weekend we bought a bottle and sat at picnic tables in the front yard with our wine, cheese, fruit and crackers to enjoy due to the private party. We decided to buy another bottle to take home and came back inside. One cashier told us the other cashier was "open" but when we walked over to her she was too busy texting on her phone to acknowledge our existence. If I return again, I will call ahead to verify the grounds are open.

    We went to Schnebly's for an installment of my staycationing spectacular South Florida-venture during which I an eclectic variety of eccentric or odd or unique South Florida stops. Having never been to Schnebly and it being our local winery I decided it was as good a stop as any and definitely a worthwhile destination. Despite not liking Schnebly's wines (well, I can now honestly say I've found two that I do like and that I'd get for myself), I had a great time. I love the idea of having a kind of oddity among wineries in the depths of South Florida. (They make their wines from tropical fruits, not grapes!) We paid $17 each for a tour of the winery and a tasting of 5 out of 12 Schnebly wines (there are other packages for tasting, this was the one we selected as the most economical and the most reasonable for a Sunday afternoon among us non-wine-aficionados). All in all, it was a good $17 spent. The temperature was lovely for an afternoon in the sun. I will state, with some dissatisfaction, that most of the winery grounds were closed for an event though I didn't see any event occurring (it was a tiki event?). I would've much liked to view more of the grounds which are, by the way, immensely beautiful--a genuine oasis ripe in the heart of the Redlands. Additionally, while the tour of the wine-making facilities was informative and kind of kitschy fun, there were moments where my friends and I came away with the same criticism, "Tremendo pesado." (If I could translate the word "pesado" and do it justice, then I would, but I can't even come close.) Moreover, the tour was *only* of the wine-making facilities. Again, it was informative but I might have liked a tour of the larger Schnebly grounds, particularly on such a lovely day. I could suggest to Schnebly that they script the tour much tighter so that, say, things like, "If the waiter brings you an open bottle of wine without opening in front of you at the dinner table, then bash his head open with the bottle. Go to jail. Get a good, wine-loving lawyer, etc. etc." I mean, c'mon. It's funny but it's not that funny. It's also a winery tour. All in all, I would host an event there like a wedding or something and it's a nice stop to have made ("A winery in the Redlands?!") but I'm not sure it's one of those places I'll "check in at" multiple times.

    It's like a hidden oasis here. This was a totally unexpected find. Great atmosphere, fruit wines, cheeses and meats to pair. Also they have live music on the weekends and it's sooo pretty lit up at night.

  • K M.

    This place was so incredibly beautiful! We had a wine tasting and they had super exotic flavors like Avocado, Lychee and Passionfruit. It is so laid back, and has little tiki huts outside where they play live music on weekends while you drink your wine. Its definitely an experience if you live in South Florida you have to take a trip here.

  • Felicia T.

    Spent a Friday evening here with my husband. We purchased a groupon special for $25 which covered the entrance fee as well as twosouvenir wine glasses. There was a wonderful live band on the open wooded deck area where you can buy your wine and drink it while listening to some jams. we did the standard wine tasting for $10 we ssampled 6 different wines all tropical fruite wines. You can purchase snacks like brie with Carrs Crackers or mozarella and sun dried tomatos and eat it at the bar while tasting your wine. My favorite? Lychee wine and sparkling wine. we two bottles for $20 with a special going on at the time. The grounds are amazing, nicely manicured and very lush and green. Although we went at night, I would love to go during the day to do a tour as well as enjoy the waterfalls, grounds and good weather while relaxing with a glass of wine. Its a drive way out west and at night it could seem creepy through the streets with no lights but once you arrive its a whole othe world!!

  • Chen W.

    Very interesting. The Schnebly's is under renovation. Right now the tour and wine tastings are half off. When you are done, you get to keep the glass and come back for more. There were 6 types of wines that are currently produced at the Schnebly's. They are all made out of fruits (no grape). Each has its own distinct flavor, ranging from dry to sweet. They will also be at the Harvest Festival on the 17 and 18th. Bring your glass for another "free" tasting.

  • Jenaia F.

    If you head over to Shnebly's and are expecting a Napa Valley experience, you should rethink the drive to Homestead. Schenbly's is not your traditional winery, albeit still a unique and fun place to visit. I had the pleasure of visiting the winery this past Saturday when the weather was perfect and the mood was right. We went with an open mind and sampled several of their wines in addition to taking their tour. I was surprised by the fact that I really liked some of the selections they had on hand. Their avocado wine and oaked carambola wine were the most impressive, in my opinion. They were the least sweet and had a lot of character to them. Their garden area is beautiful and is worth the visit in itself. I don't think I'll be coming here every weekend for wine, but it's definitely worth seeking out every now and again, especially when you are looking to get out of Miami, but not entirely out of town.

  • Matthew W.

    i went when they were in the middle of the renovation so i didnt see much but i have heard its beautiful now, the wines are tasty, i have to go check it out again and take a tour. you can now buy the wine from publix i know for sure you can at the one on us1 just south of 144th st in palmetto bay.

    First started going to the winery when they opened in a little trailer off from the parking lot. Wow, the landscape is breath taking now with all the improvements. Went for a baby shower back in June. Love the new Avocado wine. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for supporting the Local growers of fruits that you use in the wine. They are open to new ideas and have great customer service. Review suggests it is not good for kids, but I say differently. I have observed individuals bringing in picnic baskets on Friday night events for the kids to eat and they appear to enjoy going out and dancing to the local live music as much as the adults who are their enjoying the wine to include their parents. I think they can be very family friendly. My middle school aged son loved the tour and seeing how the wine is made and stored! Did have mosquito spay on hand back in June, but you have to expect that in an outdoor setting in South Florida.

  • Carlos D.

    First visit. Wasn't sure what to expect of wine selection. Location is fairly secluded in the Redlands. Small cafe, also little "market" area you can buy items to sample during your wine tasting. Outdoor area well maintained. Wine selection better than I expect but you need to like flavored fruit wines. I would personally use the wines as a base for a sangria or spritzer or serve very cold sitting by the pool or beach on a hot day.

  • Joe C.

    This is the best winery in Miami. Under the hot sun and high humidity nothing is better then trying some of their refreshing wine selections which are made on the property. Great ambiance, nice staff, great little hidden gem away from the noise and traffic of Miami.

    I went last night, and I can say that it's my favorite place to go to! The place is beautiful, romantic, and you can see the stars in the night sky perfectly. I recommend going when the weather is cool. It's in the outskirts of Homestead but it's worth the drive, I like to call it a hidden gem in Homestead. It is great to go with a group of friends either big or small, I guarantee you, you will have a blast. If you love dancing, and enjoy listening to a live band. I highly recommend you going on a Saturday night when Treehause is playing. They play from pop, disco, to Latin music. They play all varieties, they'll have you dancing the night away! The winery is awesome! I did the Ultimate tasting with my fiancé and we got to try 5 of their unique wines. DO IT! They give you a wine glass which you get to keep after and it's absolutely gorgeous. If you decide to go again and do the tasting you only get it for $$5 :D My favorite wines were the CocoVino, Cat 2 Hurricane Red and White !! Now, the only reason why I don't give my review a 5 Star even though I love this place is that the service for the food lacked. A couple of my friends had ordered hamburgers and they waited over 30-45 mins! I decided to order hot dogs thinking it would be quicker but I still had to 20-30mins. I could have been dancing ! I don't think "Jimmy Accursio and his crew" were there to cook the BBQ. The times that I've gone previously I have seen them and they have a nicer setup and look more professional, but last night I was just disappointed.. I recommend getting there early and eat their BBQ early to avoid the wait. But I'm definitely going to bring my own picnic next time. Still buying the wines though ;)

  • Emerita C.

    Very nice, family oriented place to spend a nice day with the family! I recommend the passion fruit wine. For wine lovers, please have an open mind; as wines are made from exotic fruits not grapes. Beers were good, also a different variety! Live band on Saturday, plays nice music!

  • Leigh M.

    Skip the wine , but its a cool place to stop in if you are visiting the redlands. My boyfriend and i were in the neighborhood and we hear about it on NRP so stopped over for a bottle of the cat 5 wine...we were going out on a limb because well its wine not made from grapes. We didnt try a sample but man we wish we did, 25 dollars wasted on a bottle we will never drink after we tasted,,,like bad fruit punch. But its fun to feed the coy fish, although watch out for grandpa the iguana he will try to scare the crap out of you !

    Place is nice. Went on a Saturday and they had a Cuban dance night going on. Very loud. Not your typical "winery". Staff were ok. Not very professional. Would go back but not when they have music like that. The wine was mediocre and they didn't have a cheese plate option. You have to but it and it comes in a plastic bag.

  • Janika G.

    We had been planning for months to head out to homestead to see what this winery was about. Needless to say we were sadly dissapointed. We were greeted outside with warmth by 2 kind faces a hostess and host however it quickly went down hill from there. The counter where you buy a sampling package or glass of wine etc also provides snacks and tapas..which is a nice idea however everything we possessed interest in we were told they were out of..hummus plate, trail mix, cheese plate..smh..its like cmon if you are out of these items at 2pm on a Saturday thats just piss poor planning on their part..and have the decency to wipe or cross it off the chalkboard list you have hanging there..ugghh. Now on to the wine sampling..our server flat out must have been vitamin d deficient&iron because he lacked any energy or zest for life..it was like being served by a tamed zombie.. So halfway through we thought we would switch servers by walking to the other end of the bar and by golly we were met with a Rude flat faced punk.. he was trying to rush folks along giving no explination of wines, he literally was there to pour wine and nothing else at alllllll... and when one of my pours smelled so sour I told him I wont drink it can I just try another wine he yelled at me saying you dont get it do you..thats not how this works okay..so if you dont like it tough...that you... What the f@€ k where did they find these employes...my man was ready to squeeze his neck..instead I just said lets move on to the beers.. The beer server was the big save in this situation I forget his name but he was a tell white male with mid length wavy hair..so incredibly nice and hospitable. He said he just came back from break and to give him a second which we had no problem with, see when your treated with respect its no problem. He came back quickly and was very attentive and explained every beer sample and what foods pair up nicely with those beers.. and he even engaged my man in some light guy talk/banter...veey nice guy. Now for the taste....The Wine just wasn't good, the hurricane series tastes like it has old gym shoes and work boots in it mixed with ocean spray juice..not good at all..I mean I hate to be harsh but it tasted plain gross to be a wine and as some other yelper mentioned it would be better off maybe masked in some bbq sauce. The avacado is gag worthy, and the guava taste like guava paste....not guava pastries like our very first zombie server mentioned..big difference there buddy. The lychee was actually the best of the bunch..the most passable but nothing to write home about. The beer was an improvement however, the coconut one was smooth, the ipa was fair, the mango beer was nice, and the brown ale was good. If you visit go for the beer its interesting and decent tasting, but beware the wine sucks.. The grounds were nice, but not nearly as big as you imagine or how the website makes it appear but nice nonetheless. All in all we will not be returning, the place has potential but definitely has several improvements to be made before they can call themselves a winery....as well as new friendly happy staffing would most certainly help the situation.

    I loved the atmosphere of the place. I also found it cool that it had more a picnic feel where you can bring you own food and glasses. I wish our group was a little more prepared, I would have went all out with our appetizers. So we decided to get good from their new restaurant. The meals we are were pretty good but it was a little over priced. The all you can taste wine was pretty cheap which is awesome. I only wish the bar was open in the evening, because they also offer their own beer. My favorite wine was the avocado wine.

  • Paul T.

    It's certainly a good location, very different for the Miami area, nice atmosphere cool and different place. But it has plenty of room for improvement. Our glass of water tastes like it had candle wax in it. Not sure if it's well water or what but that was odd. Food wasn't bad but it's was pretty mediocre, especially for the price. The guava chicken wings were good but expensive for 4 wings. My fish was very over salted so we're a few other things, way too much salt. Wine was good. We had the guava chocolate brownie it tasted like it came from a box. Should be noted the Women next to us had metal in their meal and they still paid for something. Also tip calculated on total with tax not subtotal nice little scheme there to get a few cents extra. To sum it up the restaurant part needs work, including better training for the staff, they were nice, just wasn't very good restaurant service. Cool place to grab a drink and enjoy music though.

    Fun winery, I enjoyed myself. Our bartender Julio.provided great conversation, and knew his beers. We're thinking about returning within the next 48 hours to try some of their seasonal beers. Also, if you keep your wine glasses from the wine tasting, you get half off every time you come for a wine tasting, which is good to know. Julio also said they plan on doing ice skating (synthetic ice) in the winter, we might come back for that as well. This winery is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance

    While visiting my friend in South Florida, we went to Schnebly Redland's Winery in Homestead, FL for a girls night out! We had a wonderful evening of wine tasting! The live music was great, the ambiance was great, and the wine, of course, was great! I often enjoy a nice, chilled glass of wine and I have my favorites, but I have to admit that the wine I tasted here was by far some of the best I've ever had! The winery was so nice and I am looking forward to going back again. The wine we purchased on the way out is called Category 3 Hurricane and it was a red wine with accents of guava and cherries and OMG I have never tasted a wine so delicious!!!

  • Meghan S.

    Thankful the staff is nice an accommodating!!! My coworker and I got there 20 minutes before closing and they stop doing tasting about that time. She had to leave the next day and we asked permission to get through a tasting really quick so that we could get a few bottles. The wines are quite unusual. I purchased the starfruit and coconut wines. I don't remember the names on the bottles, but i shared them with my boyfriend's family and they were a hit!!! Going back to try the avocado wines!

    what is it? a winery that has an outdors clubby thing going on at night. the good.. it's a hidden gem in south dade. it really makes you step back and wonder if you are still in dade county. they have live music and plenty of places to sit and hang out. the decor is tropical and a great place to be on a cool south florida eve. the bad.. their wines are an acquired taste. so far i only like one. on top of paying full retail for the wine (at their winery) you have to buy the glasses. seems to me that since i'm at the source things would be a little cheaper. they have beer but i have yet to find anyone that likes it. they do allow kids in at night which seems like a bad idea to me. this place has lots of decor stuff that kids can climb on. we saw one kid bust her lip climbing on rocks. who's fault is it? the parents but they will surely blame the winery for their out of control child. they need to make it 21 and over only.

    Recently visited this past weekend, I expected more. The tour isn't worth your money or time. As far as the wine, extremely sweet with no body to them-if you are a person who drinks wine, don't come here you'll be disappointed. The beer on the other hand isn't that bad, they have some that are interesting in taste. I gave this place three stars for its outdoor area-very relaxed, has live bands, plenty of seating.

    We were gifted Schnebly's wine glasses and were itching to try the wine tasting. We came on a Sunday in early June to find the place packed with tourists. After purchasing our tickets, we were hoping to sit down and enjoy the tasting together, but learned that the only way to have the tasting was to wait for an open space at the bar, which was shoulder-to-shoulder and three people deep. It was basically a college frat party. After asking the bartender if we could enjoy the tasting while seated, we were rudely told to wait for a space. Many of those already at the bar had been there for a very long time and showed no sign of leaving. We ended up waiting over twenty minutes and had to ask for a refund. Worst wine tasting I have ever been to.
