Windmill Winery Tasting Room — Restaurant in Florence

TLDR: We had a lovely visit to Windmill Winery. If I lived in Arizona, I’d be frequenting this place… uh… frequently 😂 The wine is good, the atmosphere is phenomenal, and the whole experience is lovely.

We were able to walk the grounds a bit (see videos) even though there were a couple private events going on, so we weren’t able to see “the barn” but I hear it’s beautiful! We went into the tasting room and ended up moving outside to sit since the weather was so mild. There were fire pits set out in various places throughout the seating area, and a fairly large stage for live music (there wasn’t any at the time we visited which was around 1pm.

I had the Granada, which was a white wine with berry juices and tasted like sweet tarts 🤤 and he had the Chardonnay, which to me, tasted more like a cross between a Pinot Grigio and a Sauvignon Blanc. I’m not generally a chard fan, but this wasn’t super dry and I quite enjoyed it. I also had a sip of the Symphony, which was very tart and dry- almost like a chard/sauvignon blanc mix. We wished we could’ve taken some wine home to Michigan, but we only brought carry-on size luggage and weren’t going to pay to check a bag 😂.

Would definitely return if given the chance.

This was a cute, romantic place to come and getaway with your loved one. We came on a Saturday evening and got to enjoy a bottle of Rose wine, Charcuterie box and LIVE SAX! We were outdoors, there are plenty of seating areas, cute benches and high chairs with misters. Patio lights all around. We wanted to explore the area and check out the scenic views but it was closed due an event going on. Initially came to enjoy the $13 flights but was told that was done earlier in the day. I also noted the horse carriage tours $5 per person but I don't think it was available. Overall experience was great! Entry is free. Everything was pretty affordable considering we got to enjoy live entertainment! Wine bottles range from $30+ you can get by glass. Charcuterie was $26 but they do have cheaper snacks. Looking forward to coming back for...
