Ocala Orchards Farm Winery

An awful place that has no concept of hygiene.
My wife and I visit and are interested in the fruit wines on display and cheeses in the fridge. To our disgust there was mould, and not the blue cheese desirable type of mould inside many packages of cheese and in numerous spots in the fridge. But the real coup-​de-​grâce was the dead bug that was sealed in the block of cheese. That’s right. It was sealed, by the packaging machine inside the plastic wrap. When we pointed this out to the member of staff there she informed us that that was common and was typical of the packaging machine they use.
Having experienced such a disgusting disregard to cleanliness we dreaded to think what could or would be in the wines, so declined to taste any. We have vowed to never visit or purchase anything from Ocala ever.

Beautiful little country fruit winery, Not much of a tour, but great tasting available, unfortuneately in Canada you are only allowed to sample 4 at a sitting. The Apple Sweet Wine was wonderful! But they also have the very dry reds and whites made with grapes. A lovely drive to this local gem.
