Ahh, its getting to be that time of the year when we can enjoy the S Top Down without feeling like a "French Fry".
Someone select a date so we can begin to plan around it as most peoples calendars fill up early these days.
Let me know if I can help!!
P.s. For those who don't know Scott (Zacksdad2) is the MASTER at planning the routes between stops, no one better in my opinion!!

Well, I am seeing "grumblings" to put together a wine tour, especially now that the weather might be getting ready to break. It always has to start with a date that can accommodate most folks. How does December the 10th sound? Any suggestions?

Wine Tour - Update 12/5/16
Just a courtesy for those traveling............................dress warm. The forecast looks SWEET if you like the "cooler" weather.
I am planning meeting at the Pasco/Hernando Community College in the Dade City parking lot on the very west side at 8:00 AM. 36727 Blanton Rd, Dade City, FL 33523
The plan would be to leave at 8:30 and hit my favorite "twisties" that Florida has to offer on our way over to the first stop .....Lakeridge Winery in Clermont when they open at 10:00 AM. 1.5 hours of why this car was created, even for Florida......................19239 US-27, Clermont, FL 34715
We have to commit to leave Lakeridge by 11:00 AM. Then we travel back west to Strong Tower Winery in Hudson/Brooksville area. 1.5 hour minimum travel through my favorite roads., Although we will take whatever necessary "breaks", it might be good suggestion to bring a light lunch/snacks with you. Should arrive by 12:30-ish. plan on staying her for the usual 1 hour and then hitting the road by 1:30....... 17810 Forge Dr, Spring Hill, FL 34610
Next stop, for the Craft Beer Drinkers.....the newly opened Zephyrhills Brewery, obviously in Zephyrhills. The owner is the 2014 Home Brewers Association Gold Medal winner for the entire United States, I think it was for the Scottish "Kilter" brew which is the benchmark for this location. Should arrive here about 2:30-ish. ...... 38530 5th Ave, Zephyrhills, FL 33542
Plan on 1 hour before we take on the roads again to our final stop in Plant City.
Final Stop: Keel & Curry Winery and the Two Henry's Brewery in Plant City/Thonotosassa. Should arrive here about 4:00 PM. From here, everyone can easily get onto I-4 to travel back home when you are ready...... 5210 Thonotosassa Rd, Plant City, FL 33565
******We really need someone to step it up and do a Winery tour in the Gainesville/Ocala area. There are 7 Winery locations all within about a 1 hour circle. Just asking...............any locals lurking???
