The Central Florida wine region trends toward dry, mild winter weather and warm summer days which allows for full ripening of the grape and sweet berries creating wines of exceptional character and flavor.
So, you've arrived at a winery and are ready to taste the fruits of the winemaker's labor. But how do you "taste" wine if you're only a casual wine drinker? Don't worry, it's simpler than you think. Tasting wine doesn't have to be a long, drawn out process and you don't need to be a professional wine taster in order to visit our farm & winery.

Drove to this place from Tampa on a Sunday in March. It is just outside Mt Dora. Weather was
cloudy with a light sporadic mist.
You can taste some of their fruit made wine for a
dollar. They don't give you much, but the person
pouring is very nice and informative. We did buy a
bottle.
Next we went into the field and picked strawberries.
The young man there had boxes and instructions
for us. This was the end of the season, but there
we're plenty of delicious bright red strawberries
to pick. You just needed to look harder. Many were
rotting on the underside where they lay on the
dirt

We went today for the last weekend of strawberry picking. We had a great time!!!
We walked in and were told where to get a carton for strawberries and where to go. You could tell it was the last weekend, but we were still able to get over 6 lbs of berries. They are priced at $3.50 a pound. We also decided to do the wine tasting for a dollar each. It was quick- but they had some good varieties. We got two bottles (and saved $2 because of the coupons), so I'd say great day.

Super cute TRUE family farm & winery. Strawberries are delicious & the people who work here are all so kind & welcoming. I got to do a wine tasting today & it was a great experience as well!! A couple small playgrounds for the kids & plenty of seating both indoors & outdoors. We will definitely keep coming back!

Drove out here on a Saturday afternoon. It was packed with people and the lines were outrageous. We just did the wine tasting, which costs $1/person. The amount they give for tasting is so tiny, especially compared to other vineyards. We also had strawberry shortcakes, which were ok. The weather was beautiful, but we didn't pick any strawberries because their prices are so high. You can get strawberries in Plant City for 1/3 of the price. We also didn't wanna wait in the super long lines for strawberry picking.

Wonderful experience. Staff is so nice and helpful. Strawberries look amazing, excited to wash some to prepare for this week to enjoy. Lots of space. Did not feel uncomfortable picking too close to anyone. Small playground for a few kids, but the wine tasting was also available and wines are just under $14 dollars each. Great ones chilled for sure. Kids picked strawberries very easily. Especially my almost three year old.

I would have given this place a five star if it wasn't for the rude attitude of the lady that owns this place. Everyone else was very nice and courteous; however, the owner rushed us out and refused to offer the wine testing to my wife who just showed up a couple minutes after I did. Then when I told her that I wanted to purchase the blue berry wine she kept saying that she is not giving any more tasting; she was just not listening to what I was saying. Maybe she was just overwhelmed with too many customers. Next time, We will go to a place where I get better customer service. We only drove

We had a very disappointing experience at Oak Haven Farms this afternoon. My wife and I loaded up four kids and my 87 year old mother and made our trek to pick strawberries. My mom started suffering Rapid Progressive Dementia since the middle of the pandemic. We are including her in as much life experiences as we can and strawberry shortcake is her favorite. We planned our visit to pick from 4 to 5 and to plan our visit, I looked at Google and also went to their website. Both said they were open 11:00AM to 5:00PM on Sunday. Their Facebook business page didn't have any times posted at the top

Strawberry picking was fun and is a great activity for both kids and adults. Everything after was awful. Waited in line in the heat with ZERO social distancing. Waiting is to be expected; however, the social distancing was horrendous, even indoors. There were not enough people working on a busy Saturday late morning-early afternoon. Dessert was mediocre and we were excited for wine tasting. Waited 5-10 min just to get to the counter. The lady didn't wipe ANYTHING down. People have their masks off and are tasting the drinks, you must sanitize the counters. It's a quick wipe. Then she asked

So many strawberries to pick! Cute place and very friendly staff. Could use some instructional signs on the process. I've never been strawberry picking and was unfamiliar with their process. Took us a bit to find out what to do but other than that it was a great experience! Wish I lived closer because I would make this a frequent trip!

Fantastic place to slow down with the family. No charge for parking and great customer service. Once we parked we collected a farm box at the parking entrance and started picking away. There's picnic tables under trees, and a cute country store where you check-out. It's basically pay per the pound, and surprised to say we picked over 7 lbs! Kids loved it, I can see this on our yearly fun list.

Love this strawberry farm and winery. The place has gotten a lot busier since i last came. The strawberries are great this season.
The strawberry wine is excellent!! My favorite wine in the world and it's about 13 bucks. Can't beat it!
The one criticism is that they definitely need to work on some efficiency measures now that they seem to have become more popular. The line to check out could take quite long even with just a couple people ahead.
A few good fans inside would be great as well. It gets VERY warm inside the shop.

Always a great experience for the family !! A sea of strawberries in the background while picking from your own row. Choosing from large to small, bright and juicy looking strawberries. Walk on in for a strawberry shake and browse some of the delicous items for sale. Items include raw honey, various jellies and jams, and of course the winery tucked away in the corner. Delicious wines for taste testing and juicy strawberries to clear the pallette. All this while the kids entertain themselves in the play area which includes a zip-line ??!!

This was my first experience strawberry picking and had a great time! It was an absolutely gorgeous Florida day in the 80s. We drove up and were greeted by a young guy who told us where to park. He also gave us the box to pick our berries. He could have been a bit friendlier, but he was also really young and just overlooked it.
We were allowed to pick from one of the two fields, which was fine considering how big the fields were. We managed to fill an entire box, which is much easier than you might think and we ended up with nearly 5 lbs. It costs $3.10/lb. We didn't mind the price because

Great place to pick your own strawberries!!
Came out here on Saturday morning with my wife had a great time. We were greeted by two high school aged kids when we drove onto the farm who told us where to park and to come back to them when we wanted to pick. They told us the rows to pick, gave us boxes to collect the berries in, and flags to mark how far down the row we picked. It was well organized and the berry rows were very neat and well maintained. The flag system also ensures you pick an unpicked section of the row and have plenty of berries to choose from.
We started picking down our rows

In Sorrento, you will find a quaint farm that offers so much to do. The fields were full of people picking strawberries. There were kids enjoying the tire swings and zip lining. There was a small camp fire out front where you could sit and enjoy on one of several benches or purchase a hot dog to roast. Inside they have strawberry milkshakes, strawberry shortcake, wine, local honey and preserves. The owner and his staff work hard to see that the crowd is cared for. Yes there were lines but nothing that wasn't worth waiting for. This is a seasonal business so get here while the strawberries

Do not eat any strawberry there or you will be in trouble!!! My family was there for strawberry picking, five minutes after we started the owner showed up accusing us eating too much strawberry, and keep questioning how can we eat before paying. He is very rude in front of my 2 month old baby and 6 years old son. l honestly don't know we can't taste them when you picking. I can pay for what we ate but there is no need to be so rude.This is the third year we came here and we always taste some when we picking.

Strawberry picking, $2.90 per pound for fresh strawberries. They also have a winery onsite and wine tasting for $1 you get 5 samples. Most of the wine is fairly sweet, too sweet for me. You can also order strawberry shortcake or strawberry milkshakes for $4-5. There's a small playground as well for the children to play.

I gave a 3 star review because this is not the first time we have run into snafu's coming out to the farm. This farm was listed as a pumpkin patch and the farm was empty and closed. The gate was open and there were not any signs stating hours or anything about a pumpkin patch. The open sign said open but that is all. I love picking strawberries here in spring, live the Christmas tree farm and the general store...but it's ALWAYS something when we come here.

Thankfully, we didn't run into any snafu's as far as Oak Haven's service, but I could tell that it may have been a possibility if we had similar circumstances to Janene H's.
With that said, I'm so glad glad I read her review! I had no idea that there were strawberry farms so close by. Granted, Sorrento is off the beaten path, but what a lovely path it is. The drive there was rather lovely and I didn't mind the trip one bit. And when you arrive, it's so neat to see so many people bending over picking bright red strawberries.
We picked about $10 worth of strawberries

It's strawberry season again! If you like strawberries you've got to try this place. Make the drive out to Sorrento where you can pick your-own-strawberries. We are making this a yearly tradition with our son who, at 18 months, was a little more helpful this year. They have a couple of small play areas and a free hayride as well. Getting in is free, you just pay by the pound for the berries you pick.
The bad: They have a snack/gift shop with jellies, jams, and sauces. The food isn't great, even the strawberry milkshakes and shortcakes leave something to be desired. A hotdog costs
