30 Best Wine Bars near Winter Springs

“My husband and I stumbled upon this gem of a spot and we now come almost EVERY Friday night for the live music. We love the outdoor seating, the small snack plates and the simple beverage offerings are just enough of what you need.The service is always amazing. We usually get a meat & cheese board and a side of hummus. My personal favorite wine is the Moscato.“

“Wow! My wife and I have been past this restaurant for years and never thought to come in as we actually thought that they were closed. We realized that we have been making a big mistake and we are already figuring out when to return. Everything that we ordered was phenomenal (Bruschetta, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, Carne Trio, and Cannoli.)“

“Our first time eating at Slidders and it met all of our expectations!This is the perfect pizza spot!We ordered an 18' pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and feta, and it was absolutely delicious! The owner was very sweet, friendly, and hospitable! They offer indoor seating and it's very clean. We will be visiting again when we're in town!“

“Went on for a nice birthday celebration with the family. We had reservations so being seated was easy.Atmosphere wise it was cozy, definitely a feel of a wine bar. Now I do want to mention space is limited inside so be aware that it can get extremely crowded easily. Also to the owner please note that your fans above need a deep DEEP cleaning as they were covered in dust (it looks like it's been a while since they were dusted). This honestly threw me off a little bit ambiance wise.Now service was nice; our waitress was good. We were greeted and asked a few times by the owner how we were doing. Friendly is the best word for service overall.Now let's talk food and selections. As it is a wine bar please understand food portions are very minimal, do not expect a hardy meal. The menu is limited but is vegetarian and vegan friendly which is nice. I would like to say the dishes that stood out the most were the oxtail, empanada, flatbread, sea bass, and affogato. Everything else in my opinion was just alright. I do want the owner to also take note of your table water glasses; please make sure they are cleaned thoroughly as there were harsh water stains on the noses of the bottles which made it look unbecoming.Overall it was a nice experience, definitely one to try at least try once.Vegetarian options: Variety of their menu is vegetarian and vegan friendly!Parking: Be ready to parallel park to find a spot near the restaurant.“

“This is always a great go to when my coworkers are in town. The service is always on point and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the charcuterie board and the roasted cauliflower with eggplant humus and pita bread was spectacular. The majority of us got the halibut and it was so good with the tomato based sauce. The atmosphere and vibe are cool, I would say maybe lower the volume a little on the music but other than that another great evening and everyone left happy and satisfied.“

“I’m from Upstate NY and came to Orlando for a birthday retreat with my daughter and mother. We had just came from our hotel to grab a bite to eat. We were starving and needed somewhere close and quick white wolf was just that place. Initially, when I ordered, I wasn’t too crazy about my selection and the server, Amber was very helpful with alternatives. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we decided to go back the following day for brunch and it was amazing. The mimosas. I had the country fried chicken. My mother had shrimp and grits, and my daughter just had a traditional breakfast with turkey sausages but everything was really really good and the next time I’m in Orlando I’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent as always at this location, and any Seasons 52 for that matter. Took a party of six for several family celebrations in one gathering and our server, Kevin, was outstanding, patient, very attentive to the random requests, such a pro and super helpful to work with the wide range of personalities at the table. Quality of food is consistently great here, such a great menu and was only rivaled by the outstanding service. Thank you Seasons 52 for always being a wonderful place to visit, bring friends and family and top notch food, excellent!“

“Amazing!!!!, the service is super. You feel so welcome, had the fried goat and burrata appetizer, incredible, very well done and the presentation so attractive. I had the ahi tuna stack, really good but my husband had the red grouper and it was much better. Would definitely come back again and again. There is plenty of parking in a garage very near by.“

“I had the best time at Flemings!! For my 30th Birthday my girls and I stayed at the Hilton next door and made a reservation for 7pm! We were actually quite late and the manager was super kind about it! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection!! I really liked that the main floor was like carpet so you could walk comfortably w your high heels!! The vibe in there is super chill, fancy and classy! Our server and SA were awesome! They set up my bday table sooo pretty w glitter sparkles and a personalized card signed by the staff and Cheff!!! Made me feel super special and cute!!! I got the French onion soup (my fav!!!) it was good and cheesy I do feel like the broth could have been hotter!! They were out of oysters and baked potatoes which was sad! The shrimp in the tower were huge!!! I def recommend calamari and mushrooms!!! After our seafood fest the server brought out wet hot towels!!! It was sooo fancy!!!! My salmon was very delicious and not dry!! All my girls were satisfied w their meals!! The drinks were great too!! And they have a selection of mock tails drinks!! Which I really liked as I am not drinking rn. My mock tail looked so cute and it was very much giving!! The desserts were great we got 3 different kinds And the server got me special dessert for my birthday and a round of champagne for the table to celebrate my day!!! One of my girls had ribeye steak for the very first time and absolutely loved it!! (She had only ever had sirloin!! Lol) so I was happy she got try that at a great place!! It was an absolute delightful night!!! Thank you to the staff for making it a great night!! I definitely chose the right restaurant to celebrate my 30th birthday!!“

“Our server was very friendly. The baked brie was amazing. FYI: food menu is minimal. We enjoyed a flight: cabernet sauvignon (tastes a little like cab franc; really liked it), grenache and Easy Tiger (Not a fan of either; to light/ bland). Also had, Mirror Mirror (very good table white) and Sparkling white (nice).Great atmosphere; quiet and laid back. Good prices too!“

“The drinks, service, prices, and ambiance here were amazing! I am absolutely coming back. There was live music and couches to sit on. Also, I forgot the name of the drink I had because some drinks are seasonal, but it was so incredibly good! My boyfriend got the Panama By Van Halen By Gillian Carter drink and we loved it. Live laugh love Lil Indies!Kid-friendliness: It is 21+ and a bar. No kids“

“My husband and I were starving after picking up some items from usps. This is not our normal everyday area so we were googling resturaunts for a bit until I thought of Italian. We had our 2 year old with us and we felt as though we would be under dressed for how nice this place was on the inside so we sat outside. I have to say, they made us feel so welcomed. Robert was super attentive and so sweet. The host came over and talked to us and our 2 year old. It just made the experience so nice for us as its usually hard to go out with our kiddo. Food came out and we were blown away by everything. So happy we stopped by. We are adding it to our revisit list and places to bring family from out of town! Thank you!“

“Always my favorite place to go!!! The best wine options and I love the different sizes available on their pours. Always fresh wine since it's using a coravin wine system (wine on tap). Their food menu is also pretty robust for a wine focused place; enjoyed the food here.“

“Absolutely incredible spot. Great bartenders, very expertly curated beer selection, creative sangrias, fun vibe, great music and is connected to the best pizza in Orlando. It's truly not to be missed, and I recommend to anyone looking for real Orlando culture.“

“It’s an upscale Thai restaurant. Prices are a bit spendy but worth it to try some new dishes.We had a group of three and ordered several things from appetizers to salads to entrees and shared it all tapas style.It was the official grand opening day, and one thing we adhere to is never dinging a place based on opening issues. Everyone needs time to work out the kinks. It’s just inappropriately unkind to critique a restaurant on opening with a review that will sit with it for years. Our waiter was maybe spread a bit thin with our section, the outdoor diners and bar duty. That won’t be reflected in our review scores.AppetizersCurry chicken rolls. Could have been warmer, served at room temp, maybe that’s the style? Curry flavor was very mild. Not tasty enough to really attract attention for a second one. We often think the same thing about Indian somasas (sp?) so maybe our expectations were out of alignment.Veggie dumplings/gyoza. These looked to be deep fried instead of the pan seared we’re used to seeing. Very crispy and tasty. Popular with the group.SaladsLarb crispy chicken. Crispy chicken fingerlings in a sauce that tastes similar to satay. Super tasty and a favorite with the group. Great with the salad and just a sliver of onion for a balanced bite.Papaya salad. This was spicier than we expected. Only one dot on the spice scale and the two ladies thought it was the spiciest thing we had. If I had to describe it to someone who never had it, it’s fresh and slightly fruity Cole slaw with a spicy bite. Personally I loved it but it was too spicy for my table mates to enjoy.SoupChicken coconut soup. This has lemongrass and galangal(like ginger) and lime and it’s super lite in flavor. Filled with ample chicken and mushrooms. As a light soup it’s spot onEntreeKra Pao chicken. I’m familiar with Pad Kar Pao which is a crumbled beef dish with hot peppers and sauce. This is more like a chicken stir fry with lots of bell peppers. It was tasty in its own rights. Not what I was expecting but I ate it with a smile!Overall it was terrific if a bit pricey(to us). Would definitely go again for a special occasion as there are many things on the menu we’d still like to try.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in front. Ample room around tables.“

“This is one of my favorite spots to have some wine with friends! The wine selection is large with reasonable prices. I love sitting in the back patio, which has large tables, fire pits, and string lights-- it definitely reminds me of Lagniappe in Miami if you have been! Sometimes there is a charcuterie food truck parked out back, so you can grab some cheeses to enjoy with your wine. Grape & Grain is definitely my go-to for pre-dinner drinks or a chill night with friends!“

“We rarely have date nights and felt it would be appropriate to return to our old stomping grounds (bc - before the child). I became the wine shop customer in 2013, way before it became Digress Wine. The place then was dark, quiet and cold, just like a wine cellar, a bit uncomfortable to walk in, but had great wine selection. Then new ownership stepped in and with every visit the transformations started to take place: from updated interior to the wines brought from their numerous trips all over the world. Reading their newsletter is a special interaction for me: it is a skillfully crafted short story, full of imagery and passionate approach to wine as a cultural experience. Moving into 2023, after 4 years of active parenthood, we were amazed at how much love, effort, creativity, and positive energy was put into the place! I am not going to go into detail here, just want to say, the outdoor area was perfectly set up, with a touch of tropical garden, the lanterns and candles... and wine! Oh, the generous pour of rich and lucious wisdom! We thank the owners for beeing true wine enthusiasts, for creating the local place where my husband and I fall in love with each other every time!“

“Bravo to the head chef at Aurora! The meal was perfect with such a good flavor and quality. The bread basket has a wonderful variety all made in site and also the specialty butter. I had the short rib ragú and it had the most flavor in a ragú I’ve ever had. I must reorder. This chef is a keeper!“

“I was here a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday night and heard Dayve Stewart perform. I ordered the red sangria, bread pudding, and buffalo tenders. The meal was delicious. I love the expansion with still maintaining the intimacy. I hate there's a $50 pp food/drink requirement on the weekends, because there are some bands that l would like to see. However, l can see them at other venues without the food & beverage minimum. The only thing that l didn't like was there were 3 ladies in rotation coming to our table every few minutes to ask if we were done eating, when there was food still on our plates. It was annoying and put a damper on the vibe a few times while enjoying the ambiance and music.“

“Great cigar shop in Longwood. My first time coming here and the staff (John) was amazing and asked what cigars I like and he showed me an amazing full body house blend that is absolutely delicious. I recommend cigar lovers like myself to come here and enjoy because I'll definitely be coming back myself.“

“Great atmosphere. Beautiful place.Parking: Huge parking lot tons of parkingKid-friendliness: I brought my 7 y/o & 9 y/o. We vane in the evening and he’d kids ran sold and played on the cooler ball court with app the other kids here. Very chill music. Lots of adventure and exploration to be had.“

“This place opened my mind to new flavors of both food & wine. The owner visited our table and provided us with a recommendation that for our budget followed by tantalizing history of our wine. As a fan of Spirits, I noticed their vast selection. This is my new favorite place for special nights!Dietary restrictions: We had a tomato allergy in our party & they graciously adapted a featured dish!“

“My wife and I have only been coming here for the last 12 months, but this is our favorite restaurant. Every meal is a feast. There is such a variety to choose from and there are many gluten-free options! The service is top-notch. Great atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: It seems like at least half the menu is gluten-free!“

“This is always such an interesting place to go - the furniture is so unique, the wine selection is great too. Always friendly staff and it's usually not too crowded. Great location, so you can walk around to other nearby shops and bars too.“

“It's safe to say the Imperial at Washburn is one of the best bars in downtown Sanford. The vibe is quirky and eclectic, yet comfortable with purchasable antique furniture filling most of the space. You can expect consistent service here as the bartenders are always efficient and still manage to whip up cocktails pretty quickly even when the place is packed. My favorite thing about Washburn is that the cocktails are just like the decor/furniture that's for sale on the inside, ever changing and unique. The menu seems to change pretty regularly, but I can honestly say I've never been disappointed by any drink here! On my most recent visit I tried the Gin Grapefruit Cosmo and the 2020 Daiquiri and both cocktails were exceptional. Whether you're looking for a classic cocktail or a new spin on a traditional one, the Imperial at Washburn in Sanford will keep you coming back for more!“

“My fiancé recommended this place because we love sandwiches and they looked really good on Instagram. We went around 6:30 (they currently close at 7) and were met with smiles and suggestions for what to order.You order from a touch screen with pictures and options. From the photos, the sandwiches didn’t look like they would have the amount of meat we prefer so we decided to add to ours. The extra meat was not needed (see pictures). We each ordered a sandwich and could only finish one between the two of us.I am looking forward to coming back for happy hour and trying more of their delicious creations. Highly recommend this place for sandwich lovers.“

“We came for dinner to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. Preston was wonderful! And everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the veggie samosas to start, great flavor! I ordered the tandoori mixed platter medium, the flavor and spice were perfect, and the meat was moist! My husband ordered the lamb vindaloo and he loved it. We definitely will be back soon!“

“Good service , friendly waiter . Sat outside and enjoyed a very pleasant wine recommended by our waiter . Live music was a plus (although it was from next door from a public performer ) . Cozy vibe , Would recommend ? will try some of the food next time .“

“Ellen's is a gem in Sanford for lovers of wine (and music and special dinners on certain nights). Intimate, beautiful interior surrounded by walls of unique wines. Seating on comfy couches, wine bar or patio. Lots of wines by the glass, and the bottle prices are so good you should just get bottles (including bottles To Go). Some nice beers for beer lovers. Frequent Events on the website, like special dinners and wine tastings. Great live music Fri and Sat nights with Chuck and his guitar. Tom, Ellen, Chuck and lots of regular customers and friends make you feel welcome. We travel a lot and Sanford is lucky to have such a unique place as Ellen's. Highly Recommend, and we will be there whenever we're in town.“

“Just ate here for the first time tonight with my parents. Impeccable service. Quality food. Very nice ambiance. Loved it! We order chicken Marsala, New York strip, the grouper, scallop appetizer, Caesar salad, bruschetta and deserts. We also had the for old fashioned, a mojito and the pear martini.“
