Bluefield Estate Winery - Cheers! - Wineries Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

On a trip to Gainesville we were looking for a place to stop and smell the roses and then we found it! This winery has fruit wines which is delicious. We were greeted first thing and we sat at the stools around the counter. The employee then walked us through the wines. We started with blueberry and worked our way down. My favorite was the apple wine. I highly encourage you give that one a try. Long story short we had a great time, bought some wine and some goodies and headed off on to the rest of our trip. read more

I may have found a new favorite! and it's not too far out of the way for traveling south to see my family! We saw the signs for the winery and couldn't resist stopping in- which ended up with me requesting to stop back on the way out of the area too! We managed to pull in just as they opened at noon and we were promptly asked if we were there for blueberry picking or wine tasting. Oooohhhh- blueberries! And we saw someone who had been picking- they were huge blueberries! We didn't opt for picking, we opted for tasting and wowza! Three blueberry wines- a dry, mid-sweet and sweet with hints of vanilla and honey. I enjoyed all three and we bought the mid-sweet and sweet. Then, yes- there is more, we tried the Blackberry Bliss and it lived up to the name! I bought 3 bottles of that one, because it was sooooooo flavorful! Peach- very light and refreshing, same with the strawberry, I grabbed one of each of those. The pomegranate was also very good (I am saving that for next time) & raspberry- both were excellent. Plus they have plenty of merchandise and honey and jams! I found a blackberry bourbon and chocolate strawberry jams that I couldn't resist. Can't wait to try those. Tastings are 4 for $4 or 8 for $8- John and I both tried all of them & obviously loved all of them! Great find and a reminder to try more small wineries! read more

Found this place with my mom. We enjoyed conversation with the friendly staff and a flight of fruit wine. We left with a bottle of Blueberry Wine and Blueberry Jam. read more

Went with a Groupon ($14 wine tasting for 2 and a free wine bottle) and was pleasantly surprised. The lady helping us try the wines was personable and willing to give recommendations on wine pairings. I loved the peach and green apple along with the blackberry and pomegranate one. They all were so complex in their own way. Would love to pick blueberries when they are in season. read more

Small, cute, little spot! It's a bit hidden but you should have no problem finding it. The staff inside is super nice and helpful. There is a wine tasting available for a very great price and bottles to take home available as well. No wine sold by the glass just FYI but the wine is SO GOOD you'll want to take a couple bottles for home. read more

For being the winter months, selections of wines can be minimal. Our groupon we found netted us 5 tastings but only 4 varieties exist. Cannot fault them personally since cold weather does kill their supply. While our glamping trip was coming to a close and making our way back from an Airbnb on the Suwanee River in Mayo, this winery was selected as our first stop to sample wines since a groupon was found by one of the glampers. This winery boasts wines made from their berries and fruit fermented on site! Off the paved road, through a dirt road and surrounding trees, we enter an entrance of the left into a clearing where this winery is located. As we drive through the property on bobling terrain rocking our rental van, can see random small buildings among the rows of vines (hibernating in the winter time) and finally at the far end where the very small tasting room is located. It had a quaint porch complete with a swinging chair overlooking part of the vineyard. Picturesque, we got some strangers to take a group photo and then we proceed inside. We saddle up to the serving area, present our groupings, which have to note they only had 4 out of 5 flavors to sample, so they will repour one of our choice. We sampled the Windsor White, Windsor Red, BlackBerry Bliss, and Sweet Strawberry. The young lady was nice and pleasant pouring and conversing. Also around the tasting room were creative merchandise to buy including a coaster and a shirt that have a hilarious parrot holding a wine glass that's says "Scr*w the cracker, Poly wants wine" LOL . Oh and a hilarious picture frame phrase in the bathroom that reads "If you drink NoNoir you Pinot Noir" Haha! Also against one wall were wine in a rack against the wall where a window to the backroom shows many blue barrels? Fermentation going on?? Hmmm.. All in all we took a group photo at the tasting area and enjoyed a pleasant experience sampling wines. My personal likes are that I enjoyed the Sweet Strawberry but truly enjoyed the blackberry bliss that slight deeper flavor similar to a cherry Cole deep flavor kind of way! Liked so much, I purchased two bottles as well as some funny merch such as a hand towel that goes along the lines of "my super power is drinking red wine, whats yours?" and of course that hilarious wine coaster with Polly holding that wine glass I mentioned before. Oh and one last thing, was nicely surprised when one of my friends asked where the nearest park would be to enjoy such wines in a picnic fashion to which the young lady effortlessly answered theres one very nearby! Very awesome Oh and was nicely surprised the young lady easily helped answer our question of where a park would be for us to go have a picnic with the wines we are buying. Turns out there is a nearby park very close by! Let's drink some delish wine with our leftover glamping food of salads steaks n tomahawk n more! read more

Bluefield Estate Winery - Vineyard - Wineries Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I just love U-Pick season here in Gainesville!  If you've never heard of U-Pick, it's exactly what the name states; you pick!  With all of the great farms out here in North Florida, February - July are prime times to pick local, natural fruits and veggies, all for a great price.  This late in June still allows some time for Blueberry picking so I thought it the perfect time to head out to the Winery with my bestie, DeCara.  I lucked out and found a great Groupon for only $16 that called for a wine tasting for 2, PLUS a bottle of wine!  I love Groupon, *insert ugly cry here* Bluefield Estate Winery is about 20 min outside of Gainesville, tucked away in the trees where you'd never find it unless you were truly looking.  With lush grounds covered in Muscadine and Blueberries, upon arrival, we knew we had to be in the right spot due to the beautiful fruit and landscaping.  After walking into their trailer-office, we were greeted by a kind young woman who was attentively pouring wine for a group of women who had already begun their giggly wine tasting, as well as all of the wine-themed gifts you can imagine. Buckets were stacked and ready next to the door, and visitors were able to simply grab their buckets to head off on their blueberry picking journey at $3/lb through the bountiful blueberry bushes.  We happily grabbed our buckets and set off to the blueberry bushes!! We had received a bit of rain earlier in the day so the grounds were moist, also leaving the blueberries with a natural wash and glow for us to enjoy as we began our picking.  The Estate had over 5 rows of what seemed like 15+ bushes per row!  Every step I took to the next bush provided me with even juicier and sweeter berries than the last!  Even so late in the season, I had no trouble finding ample bushes to pick from as I happily popped about 5 berries in my mouth for every 2 I dropped in my bucket.  :-D Our Groupon afforded us a wine tasting, but we didn't know that meant we got to sample EIGHT wines!! Sheesh!  Groupon is TOO good to me.  Bluefield's specialty are it's Muscadine Grapes and Blueberries, while other wines/ingredients are sourced from California but you'll hear no complaints here, as they were delicious!  The young woman conducting our wine tasting was quite generous with her pours as well, as by sample #8, I was passing my last sips to DeCara!  Each wine was so tasty and prominent, I couldn't believe I got such a bargain! I believe that Green Apple and Pomegranate were my favorite, as they were both sweet, yet bold!  DeCara decided on Pomegranate as her free bottle to take home and she loved it! At only $6.50 for our 2.2 pounds of fresh blueberries + $16 Wine Tasting Groupon = $22.50 for an afternoon of boozy, blueberry fun sounds like a total win! read more

Winery was kind of Remote. Hostess was very Friendly. We were The Only Visitors at That Time. Felt A Cheese, and Cracker Plate, may have made us Stay Longer., and probably purchase more Wine. Had to Pay for Tasting a few Samples, a Second Bottle of Wine would Have Made more Profits! read more

Thoroughly enjoyable time visiting with the staff at Bluefield. The venue might not look like much from the outside but the trip out of town is worth the drive. The dry and semi-sweet blueberry wines are surprising and worth taking home for dinner. read more

10/10 Vineyard!! I got a Groupon for $14 for two people that included 8 tastings (8 per person) and a bottle of wine to bring home. It was such a good deal! The best wines are the raspberry, pomegranate, and the blackberry. They were out of some of the wines to take home (like the raspberry and blackberry), probably because they're really popular, so I would recommend ordering your to-go bottle early so that another group doesn't take the last one. read more

I came here not knowing what to expect. The tasting room is pretty small, only a couple of seats. We had a Groupon for a wine tasting and free bottle. Most of the wines were delicious. A lot of fruity flavors (it is blueberry wine after all). The employee working was very knowledgeable about the different varieties of wine. Their best tasting wine was sold out though so we left with our second choice of wine. read more

Bluefield Estate Winery - Wineries Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I really enjoyed Bluefield! My husband and I got a groupon to do the wine tasting- which included a bottle of wine. It was fun! The wines are sweet - we both typically drink red, dry wine, so it was different for us. We still enjoyed the experience! It was a homey feel - like you were on a family farm, with super nice people working there! Our favorite wine was the dry blueberry wine, but we also liked the semi-sweet blueberry wine. The white muscadine wine was pretty good too! It was raining when we went and we had a glass on the porch. It was relaxing and a good time! read more

Bluefield Estate Winery is definitely a hidden gem that is just 20 mins outside of Gainesville. I was lucky enough to find a Groupon that offers 8 wine tastings for two and a bottle to take home for just $14! Their signature wine are made with blueberries and I love their dry blueberry wine. All of the wines they offer were great, the staff is super nice and the shop has many great items to purchase. Upon looking up their website I found out they have monthly wine subscriptions to ship wine to your house. I definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

First time ever wine tasting and Bluefield exceeded my expectations! The wines were delicious and very fruitful. I had not had fruit flavored wine like blueberry, blackberry or strawberry before. Upon arriving, I was a little sketched out because it felt like it was in the middle of no where. There were a few other groups of people but my friends and I felt like we were the only ones in there. If you go, I recommend trying the semi- sweet blueberry, blackberry and peach wines! I look forward to going again soon. read more

Most people don't know this winery is around. Due to city sign restrictions it is not clearly marked from the road. It is definitely a small family run winery, which makes it special. It is located off of this beautiful country road with beautiful, old farmhouses. You can pick blueberries here in season. They do offer tastings. You can choose four wines for $4 or eight wines for $8. If you choose the $8 you can end up tasting all 11 wines between the two of you. They make some of their wine from blueberries which causes even the driest wine to be sweet. In fact, most of their wines are sweet. My two favorites were the Sweet Blueberry with hints of vanilla and honey. And then the Blackberry Bliss merlot. We came away with four bottle for $39.99 including tax, which is not a bad deal. The tasting was short, about as long as the drive to get here. Off the beaten path. Family-owned, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Great place to take a date! read more

If you like fruity and sweet this is your place. See photos --$4 for tastings of 4 and $8 for tasting of 8--which I think that should be subtracted if you purchase a bottle of wine!! Off the beaten path with a blueberry farm for picking and honey harvested and used in their sweet blueberry wine. Girl was friendly and helpful. read more

Cheap and fresh blueberries! I recommend to call in to see when is the best time to go because the bushes might be barren when you get there. I've gone once on my own and once for a group event I planned. It is very low maintenance for big groups and easy to work with the owners. A lot of the experience is up to you picking the right timing. Early in the morning, good weather, right time of the season, etc. Wine tastings are available, but they are also sold at Ward's and other supermarkets. They have a cool selection of fruit wines, and there's a spectrum of blueberry wines ranging from dry to sweet. read more

Bluefield is a very small winery not too far out of Gainesville. If you like sweeter, fruity wines, check this place out. There's also a good Groupon's for the tastings. The tastings are for 8 of the wines, all of which are good. I recommend the peach chardonnay. read more

Sucked. If I could review it with a negative star I would. Traveled over an hour because the website said they were open. Got there and it was closed. Looked abandoned. Don't waste your time or gas. read more

We took a day trip over to Micanopy and stopped by the winery on our way. They have a great setup and an excellent selection of wines! We spent about an hour doing a tasting and walked through the vineyard to see the horses. Super friendly staff and all around awesome experience! Will definitely be back and highly recommend you make your own stop! read more

I took my wife here for a fun trip and even though the berries wern't in season for the Upick, the wine tasting was fun. Not a huge selection but all done locally and their own products. They have their own hives and make their own honey. Its a fun little back door spot, call before you go to make sure you are going when their fruits are in season! read more

Love, love this place! The shrimp coating is like no other. Don't forget the cornbread, it's like dessert!

This is a gem of a winery. We found it while going to the Zucchini Festival in Windsor, FL. Drive down the one lane dirt road past the vines to the tasting room. Our hostess was very nice and made small talk. We bought several bottles of wine, some for the cooler & others in the rack. Last night we opened the Windsor Red Table Wine and were pleasantly surprised. It's a sweet but not overbearing. We will go back for more. read more

I've only been to this place twice. It's a bit far away but sometimes worth the drive. I've only gone here for blueberry picking but will definitely try the wine tasting in the future. I think blueberry picking is a fun activity whether you're going with friends or even a significant other. I just recommend really looking at the weather the day you decide to go. It's not as enjoyable when it's very hot outside. When you arrive, you can grab a white bucket which holds six pounds of blueberries. About an inch up on the bucket is equivalent to one pound. And the blueberries are cheap! Only three dollars for one pound! At Publix, they're usually on sale for three for ten dollars. Picking blueberries here is definitely a steal. Also, they're bigger and juicier. Just be sure to wear the proper clothing so you don't get hot. Bring sun screen if you burn easily! read more

We were on our way to visit another winery and saw the signs on Highway 301 for Bluefield Estate Winery. We made a U turn and followed the signs to the most delightful little winery. We did a wine tasting hosted by Callisa. She gave us a brief history of the winery and the wines they produce. We did some shopping in their store (of course wine was among the items we purchased). Callisa invited us to walk in their vineyards, visit the horses and to walk over to where the honey bee hives are. They produce honey on their farm and use the honey in some of their wines. We plan on visiting again next time we are in the Gainesville area. Calissa also invited us to return for the blueberry harvest read more

I really enjoyed my visit here! I got there not long before they closed but I never felt rushed at all. They let us sample all the wines we wanted, about 5. My favorite by far are the peach and raspberry but they didn't have any peach for sale because they sold out. The blueberry wines are not bad, not really my thing. But their blueberries are delicious!! I bought a pound for just $3 and I wish I got more. They are not sour at all. Perfect! I would have loved to pick my own but it was about to rain. I will definitely come back here on my trip north! read more

Went wine tasting and had a great time. Bottles only $11/bottle left with 3 bottles. Nice little winery

This place is great. It would definitely be a fun place for a date or outing with the girls. Our favorite is the blueberry.

Friendly atmosphere. The only downside is the tasting house is not handicapped accessible. However the staff did accommodate as well as possible. Nice fruity wines. Took home two bottles of the sweet bluberry. read more

We were looking for something else to do after a short visit to Devil's Den. The season end is near so most of the blueberry places were closed for the season. So glad this place was open and we were able to pick blueberries! Bought a bottle of blueberry wine also! read more

The tasting was fun and casual, definitely a great time. All of the wines we tried were really delicious, we had a tough time picking what to bring home since they were all so good. If you ever get a chance to go, definitely try one of the blueberry wines made from their own blueberries! I'll be going back the next time I want wine for a special night. read more

We stopped by this winery on May 28th, 2016. I think it's worth mentioning that we have been to many, many wineries across the country. Today when we walked in, we were not greeted--there were a group of people standing around, but no one even acknowledged we arrived (there was no one behind the "bar"). Finally after being asked if we wanted to pick blueberries or do a tasting-- my husband and I preceded with the wine tasting. The wines were pretty good and we ended up buying two bottles. What was ENTIRELY unprofessional and biased was that the lady working decided to only offer us the "legal limit" since they don't have a beer/wine license (as stated by her)....but had NO problem taking the cap off to pour more for the two women next to us? WTF?! Our money spends just the same and we bought as much wine as they did. Plus, as we are tasting literally drops of wine-- we see the other ladies being served a lot more.. Oh and we had to stare at the server the entire time who was wearing a see through mesh shirt! Really?! What a classy establishment--what is this a strip club? We won't be back because the customer service was a joke and so was her appearance. To double serve and take the cap off is illegal and you'll get caught trying to make your "tips"! read more

At first, my boyfriend and I were skeptical (it was a house on a dirt rode in a vineyard so we were a little thrown off) but we were surprised once we went inside. While not glamorous, it does have a "down home" feel that my boyfriend and I both enjoyed. The girl behind the bar was knowledgeable, personable, and funny (unfortunately, we had such a good time chatting with her that we forgot to ask for her name). Wines were delicious and we cannot wait for the summer so we can go back and pick our own blueberries and grapes. Don't let appearances fool you, this place is great! All about their wine and not about the frills (which I LOVE). We will definitely be back soon and hope many other couples enjoy this place on their "date day". read more
