royal manor winery

Took a while to get there but was SO worth it. This is not the normal winery. Joe is the owner and really a sweet guy. He showed us around and it was great to see how every bottle is made. Great tasting wines and a perfect Apple cider. You should not miss this as a stop

These are great hand crafted wines and meads. It's off the beaten path but well worth the trip with their own unique tastes. We had a hard time deciding what to purchase so we will be back soon.

this great place is in the middle of nowhere!!! its a wonderful treat to find! the owner is a retired firefighter and knows how to make wine! this is a must stop between gainsville and palatka florida!

We wanted to continue our tour of wineries and made our way up to Royal Manor Vineyards. I have to admit that the drive was not easy, the GPS did not want to cooperate and we thought for sure we were going in circles until we finally found it. I am so glad that we did not give up, what a great winery. The owner was a great guy, he was so informative and really took his time with us. He went through each wine with us and explained each, how it was made and his inspiration behind it. I had mead once and I just wasn't a fan until I had his…I loved it!!! This wine is crafted with love for the art, not to make a profit. There are plenty of places to take a glass or a bottle of your favorite wine to enjoy right there on property. The only negative that I can see is it is so good that they always seem to have something sold out. When you go make sure you plan on spending some money, not because the prices are high but because it is so good that you will want to bring home at least a case. I would usually write down my favorites just to share, but there are way too many to list when it is easier to say I did not taste one wine that I did not like. Make sure you plan on staying for a while when you come to visit. Great wine, great information and a great experience so bring a picnic and take advantage of the gazebo view.
