These are my five favorite wine bars located throughout the Orlando area depending on my particular mood.  So in no particular order here they are….

1. Funky Monkey Wine Company:  The Funky Monkey Wine Company is a neighborhood wine bar and eatery owned and operated by the  directors of the Tasters Guild Orlando.  This eatery and wine bar offers a large selection of wines and drinks that pair perfectly with there diverse menu.  The Funky Monkey has frequent wine dinner series featuring wines from different regions of America and the world.

2. Tastings – A Wine Experience:  Tastings is a one of a kind wine bar with over 100 wines in stock.  The entire selection is available by the taste, glass, or by the bottle.  Every bottle is sold at retail price and can be opened in the store or taken home to enjoy.

3. Sip:  This wine bar perfectly named. Sip provides  a great environment to share a glass or two with friends.

4. Vines Grille and Wine Bar:  With one of the most extensive wine lists in Orlando this recently expanded grill and wine bar has live Jazz nightly with great food and drinks.  If someone in your party is not into wine rest assured there is a wide selection of beers and full bar available.

5. Press 101 Sandwich and Wine Bar:  Not only do they have great sandwiches, salades, and flatbreads, you can sip great wine in a great enviroment with live music Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.  So grab a table indoors near the bar or outdoors in the beautiful weather to enjoy a nice afternoon or evening out.
