    Our server Drew was attentive and provided excellent service during our visit. This was our first time there and we were confused & off put by the arcade-like wine tasting experience. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful view but had to go inside to use our wine card for the tasting. It was an awkward experience to hover over other guests while they discussed their wine. There were also a handful of unoccupied tables near the wine arcade that were marked as reserved, yet the whole time we were there no one was using them. The per ounce cost to taste the wine was not cheap (1 oz=$3) to have that kind of experience. It felt rushed and I would not recommend for anyone who likes to sit, sip, and have a conversation. The wine itself good, but the tasting experience was a 0/5. It would have been nice to choose the wines and get a wine tasting service at our table rather than clamoring over an arcade to experience these wines.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting this winery for brunch, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Our server was a standout, with an awesome personality and a dedication to providing excellent customer service. Drew went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, all with a welcoming smile. The outdoor seating offered a picturesque view, making our meal even more enjoyable. I'm not typically a drinker, but the "tickle me pink” mimosas were so delicious that I couldn't resist having three of them! They were a highlight of the experience. The "get that bread" dish was a perfect 10/10 – an entire loaf of bread that left us already full. The "sweet as can be board" was both delicious and Instagram-worthy, making it a feast for the senses. This winery is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic brunch with excellent service, amazing mimosas, and beautiful surroundings.

    This is such a great space. Staff is super friendly and service is exceptional. We went for wine tasting on a Friday and had brunch on a Saturday. Bar bites menu was great on Friday. Spanakopita, empanadas, and spring rolls were all excellent. Brunch here is on another level. All 4 of us had perfect meals. My only suggestion for improving would be better OJ in the mimosas. We all love this place and can't wait to come back for a visit.

    Good food, good service. They don’t have their own wines, so they offer self serve “tastings” of imported and Californian wines. The bartender will load a gift card for the amount you want to spend. You go to a machine and fill a glass or a tasting. Neat idea, but we missed the personal service / insight of a real tasting. Food was great though! And a cool vibe in the place.

    Went here with some friends. The food and drinks were great. You get card from your server for the self serve wine tasting. The minimum for the wine tasting was $15 and that gave you 5 1oz tastings of your choice but don’t expect anyone to talk you through it. We went on a Saturday and it was very busy so it took a long time to get our food. Definitely need reservations to not have to be outside in the hotter months.

    One the best places you could absolutely go to! I can’t get enough of the place. The vibe, the aesthetic, THE FOOD. Ugh, the food is soooooo good. Not to mention, Natalia is absolutely fabulous. She really knows how to pair you up with some very fine tasting wine. I personally love going for their brunch, but they have a wonderful happy hour there too!

    A TikTok lead me and 2 of my friends here for brunch. We were very excited based on the video to do wine tastings and enjoy beautiful scenery, except the “scenery” was lacking. Not much walking space as when we were there they had signs out saying no trespassing. So the outside was disappointing. The food was decent. I got the blueberry French toast. I just wished there were more blueberries and blueberry sauce on it. Definitely make a reservation. Doing the wine tasting is an easy process. They give you a card and you load money on it at the register. We did $15 each and that got us 5 small samples of our choosing. You swipe the card in the machine and select which wine you wanna taste and it dispenses it into your glass. But to be honest this part of the experience goes by fast and doesn’t last long. After that you’ll find yourself bored. I did end up buying a couple bottles of wine to bring home. It was cool but only a one time thing for us.

    Formosa was very professional, sensitive and kind hearted people. Working with Adam and his staff were so nice. He talk my son and his beautiful wife through the process. He helped us to organize the Rehearsal Dinner. It was a wonderful experience. Who knows we might have one more wedding there. All the guest enjoyed themselves too. Thank you for all your help. Highly recommend them to do any occasion. Picture is from our Rehearsal Dinner. The wedding was downstairs and reception was upstairs. A lot of fun and great memories.

    Had brunch. We made a Reservation for the bar, since last time we came it was pretty busy. First off, Leelle our bartender was AWESOME! Super knowledgeable about the menu, so friendly and such a gem to have taken care of us. Had great recommendations and helped us find a wine we loved to enjoy our evening with. The food was delicious, atmosphere was so cute and service was top notch. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

    This was my first time attending a Winery so I have nothing to compare it to but the entire stuff was so friendly and helpful. I like that this winery allows you you to put a card in the machine and select your own wine. I’ve heard of some Winery’s that choose the wine that you taste but this location had tons of options. The scenery was also nice and the charcuterie board was delicious! There in house wines were fantastic! My favorite was the black cherry! I forgot our servers name but she did an amazing job helping our party of 11! I’d definitely come back to this location!

    We celebrated my friends 40th birthday. Her sister booked it for a private party. The staff was great and food was amazing. Let’s not forget about the blueberry moscato wine. It was the best. I enjoyed the wine tasting very easy to use the machine.

    In our trip to Orlando, We found this incredible winery located in kissimmee. The food is delicious and the wine experience was amazing. Natalia is an expert in wine, she helped us make a good Wine selection. I loved this place so much we stopped to eat twice during our stay.

    It was out last day of vacation in Florida and we capped it with a visit to the nearby Island Grove Wine Company. We feasted on $5 bar appetizers, Chicken Flat Bread and the Chef's Choice BLT sandwich- all of which were delicious and filling. I guess the self-serve wine tasting (Wine on Tap) was the most fun part for me. You are able to try a variety Florida, the US and international wines from a dispensing machine before deciding which bottles to buy. You get a gift card which initially has $15 (you can add more if you want) and you choose from 3 different portion sizes: 1 oz, 3 oz and 5 oz pours. We walked away with bottles of Sunshine State White Sangria, Crisp Green Apple and Blue Berry Moscato. There's a 10% discount for 6 bottles. They also had a wide variety of craft beers which I will definitely try the next time we come around. We opted to stay outdoors, but the indoor dining area, bar and shop was astonishing. Our server Seanna took exceptionally good care of us. We are definitely coming back!!!

    We when to celebrate my husband and best friend birthday and we have a good time! A 100% recommend the house wine is really good The food and drinks were great. You get card from your server for the self serve wine tasting. The minimum for the wine tasting was $15 and that gave you 5 1oz tastings, the patio is so pretty… but there is not much grapes tree out there so don’t think that you are going to valí

    We went to Formosa Winery today for the first time and had brunch. We had a reservation but I didn’t realize I needed to specify outside dining. Natalia our server was wonderful and found us an outside table. It was a beautiful day so I greatly appreciated her accommodating us. The winery has a very cool vibe. I love how it is decorated. The bathroom was beautiful. The outside was lovely. The landscaping and water features are fantastic. Our food was incredible. My friend and I ordered eggs Benedict. It was the best we’ve ever had, truly delicious. My husband had a fried chicken sandwich with spicy honey sauce. He also thought it was delicious. Afterwards my friend did some wine tasting which was a cool experience as you load a card and then select a wine to try and pour it yourself. She bought a bottle. Thank you Natalia for speedy service, delicious food and a wonderful experience. We live in Canada and stay in Kissimmee for 2 months each winter. We will absolutely be back to Formosa Winery!

    We retired to the area about 3 months before the winery opened. When it opened, it quickly became one of favorite places to go. Staff is friendly, great selection of wines, both their brand as well as others. Nice selection of small plates foods as well as luncheon selections. We bring all our visitors here as a must stop. I highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Gracie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Location was very pretty. Food was delicious and nicely proportioned. Nice little areas with nic-nacs and wine to shop or peruse while waiting for your meal. I would have given a five star review except the one thing that was disappointing was the staffs demeanor. Very disappointing. No smiles, no pleasant greeting. A nice welcome with a smile from hostess would have been nice as well as from our server. The team that brought us our meals were friendlier than the hostess and our “server”. See pics of our meals: omelets, eggs Benedict, tacos, BLT. Country potatoes, side of bacon. All were delicious

    A cute little place with a fun atmosphere. We had the charcuterie board with cheese and fruits and it was pretty good. Their pink drink is fun and sparkly. The service was good and our server was attentive. The wine tasting area is a little small and it’s DIY which can be nice depending on what you’re looking for. The outdoor area was small too but nice enough.

    BEAUTIFUL space! We rented out the Formosa room upstairs for a small bridal shower and it was perfect! We even had full access to the large balcony looking out over the garden. The staff were all very helpful in letting us use some of their food display items, getting us ice, helping us with speakers, and checking on us throughout our event. I looked at MANY venues for the bridal shower in the Orlando area and this one was extremely affordable and went above and beyond with their service. 10/10 recommend!!!

    Just the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only the place is breathtaking, also the whole team are just amazing. Thank you Adam for all the help you gave us since day 1. We just had an unforgettable experience at Island Grove Wine Company at Formosa Gardens🤍I highly recommend this venue without a doubt.

  • 5/5 DeeDee C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best brunch ever! The food feels authentic, not diner like. Everything we ate was delicious, no waste! The wine tasting options are very interesting, so we ended up bringing a bottle home of the wine that they make. 100% recommend!

  • 5/5 Tammy D. 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled on this beautiful property accidently this weekend for Saturday brunch and liked it so much we came back on Sunday too! Beautiful indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly staff and delicious bistro menu with lovely presentation. Stay and sample the wines from the self serve wine bar with a prepaid card. Can't wait to go back!

    The experience we had here was so amazing! I recommend going on a Wednesday because it was not crowded at all. The chicken flatbread we got was honestly the best flatbread I’ve ever had in my life. My favorite wine was the blueberry moscato. The grounds were beautiful and everything was clean. I would love to bring my friends and family here.

  • 4/5 Mymy 1 year ago on Google
    Brunch and wine tasting.. what more could you ask for! Food was delicious. Service started off slow. Took 13 minutes before a waitress visited our table (yes I timed it). The grounds are beautiful. Make sure you try the wines. Definitely would visit again.

  • 5/5 Maryann F. 1 year ago on Google
    The ultimate brunch place! Amazing views,great food and drinks, nice spot to enjoy the outdoors while sipping on some wine,mimosas, or beer. Recently rented out one of the banquet rooms for a party and it was perfect!

  • 5/5 Cynthia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Today was our first time here, and it’s simply amazing! From the great customer service (Darcy and Nat were both amazing) The quality of the food and amazing wine tasting options made for a fabulous besties brunch! I’ve visited a few wineries and this one simply stands out! The location is super cute and there was a wedding here as they started to close. The restaurant and winery inside are rustic and absolutely stunning for photos. I’ve attached a few photos of the exquisite beet and goat cheese salad and our favorite wine choices, cheers 🥂

    Excellence, Professional, Creative, Delicious, and truly an amazing place to host any event, all describe Island Grove Wine Company at Formosa Gardens. I had the pleasure to work with the best venue coordinator “Adam” from beginning to end throughout my whole party planning for months & months to come. This place is a truly hidden gem, and I am so glad that Adam and his team made my vision come to life for my husband's surprise 40th birthday. Not only Adam was attentive and very detailed oriented, but he also guided me through my party planning. All the venue team was great from the hostess and chef. If you want to have your guest talk about how delicious the food was or how beautiful the venue is, this hidden diamond should be your venue spot. Book them and you will “NOT” be disappointed. Thank you so much, Adam and your team for such a great memorial turnout. I appreciated you and your team a lots!!!

    So I took my BFF here for her birthday and even though it was raining it was still nice. One you have to make a reservation for brunch. 2 they were short staffed but that didn’t effect my reservation nor did I have to wait. 3 they have a nice selection of drinks 🍹 from reg drinks to having sparkles in your drink. 4 and maybe the one negative downside was that our food was COLD. Like lucky it was good lol but it was cold. 5 their drink cars are pretty neat, you would start off with purchasing a 15 dollar card to start your wine tasting. You get a glass and you can choose from 3 dollars that would get you about 3 oz in your glass, 6 dollars 6 oz and 9 dollars for 12 oz lol love it. Overall I spent no more that 100.00 dollars and that’s with mimosas, wine tasting and food. I would definitely go back, and my food I hope the next time would be warm.

    For Mothers Day we decided to try Island Grove Wine company. We went with our family….party of 15. Kids and adults…all were very pleased with our experience. Our server was great. She did well remembering our separate check orders. It was a very busy day so the food took a little while but honestly we didn’t mind the atmosphere and cheeky photo ops all around us kept everyone busy and the Sangria and Mimosas kept us smiling. All the drinks were delish. I had the Bear Lazer beer which was recommended by our server and I can honestly say am a fan now. The food was pretty amazing. Everyone was very happy. I had the chicken and waffles which had amazing flavor. I did wish the chicken portion was bigger … am a protein fan. Overall though a great meal. My wife was obsessed with her chimichurri skirt steak and eggs. She was very happy since she is living a low carb life style and the server kindly accommodated her meal and replaced her potatoes for a side house salad that came with the best blue berry dressing. They have a good kids meal options and our kids were super excited to enjoy a fluffy portion of French toast with sausage. The courtyard area was amazing. The ladies took pictures while the guys played corn hole…it made for a perfect family Mother’s Day Brunch!
