A Taste of the Countryside

To the north, the skyline gives way to a landscape of rolling hills, ancient oak canopies, and flourishing vineyards.

Ocala and Marion County serve as the crown jewel for equestrian enthusiasts, anchored by the massive World Equestrian Center—a world-class destination for competition and luxury living. But the lifestyle extends beyond the saddle; the nearby hills of Clermont are home to Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards, Florida’s largest premium winery, where sweeping views of the vines evoke a Tuscan-meets-Florida charm.

Whether you are spending an afternoon at the Barons Creek Vineyards tasting room in historic downtown Ocala or exploring the locally-crafted fruit wines at Island Grove, this region proves that Central Florida offers a sophisticated vintage all its own.
