    Light up Mount Dora
    Ricarta C.

    Mount Dora is such a quaint place to spend the day venturing. Tons of small business downtown to park and browse. They have it all from coffee shops , beer pubs, ice cream and pizza shops to amazing Cuban and German restaurants! There is also a beautiful Inn and lake where you can sit and watch cotton candy sunsets . If you want to get a view from water, there are boat rentals near by as well. You can spend an entire weekend here doing cool things

    Mount Dora is such a good area to go and dine, shop, and even attend events! Almost every month and ever holiday, the hold events free of charge. They also do a lot of food fairs, farmers market events, and fruit fairs free for anyone. This area is surround by beautiful antique buildings and amazing history which you can read and discover throughout the area. There's over 50 restaurants and bakeries to choose from and over 50 stores to shop at. They keep the landscaping around the area very cleaned and well maintained.

    A great town to visit with family. We were here last week to walk through the parks and see the Christmas lights. Over the years more unique restaurants and stores have popped up.Donelley Park and Sunset Park were the highlight of our visit. We stopped at several shops along the way. Usually we walk down to the waterfront but this time, the parks and stores were plenty enough for us.

    I have friends who adore this town and vacation here annually- we were brought into Mount Dora for a reenactment out at Renninger's- a WWII battle with tanks firing! Hubby is a huge history nerd and after spending hours out there we headed into town to tour the historic downtown. Very cute town with tons of gift shops, art galleries, restaurants and apparently wine and beer can be taken to-go in sippy cups. I think I just found out why my friends love this town.... Drinkers for sure! We hit easily a dozen different stores, 4 parks, a brewery, bookstore and restaurant and that was after the flea market and reenactment! Talk about a full day. We stole pictures on the abandoned train tracks (no trespassing) and I got sunset pictures of the lighthouse on Lake Dora. We walked miles and know we didn't even scratch the surface! Hubby and I both agree- we must return and maybe we will turn it into a vacation weekend get away! So many beautiful B&B's! Can't wait to return.

    The town is small, cute with lots of small businesses shops and lots of places to have delicious meals. I can I imagine how cute it must be during Christmas. I somehow picture it looking like a hallmark channel Christmas movie. The only thing that Was disappointing was that the people were not very friendly, or welcoming.

    Cute vibe

    Great little town to have lunch and browse the shops. Every time I visit, parking is such a challenge! I don't think it matters what day or time you plan your visit, you will have a challenge. Aside from that, enjoy your visit!

    In 1846, the surveyors named Lake Dora after her, and in 1883 the town was renamed after the lake.

    Walked by and had to drop in. Recently ran out of my fancy balsamic vinegars. They had some new…read moreflavors! Umeboshi and pink guava were new to the store; I tried flavors that might not be new, but are new to me. The store associate helped us find items and explain things to us. I left with the pineapple balsamic and the cranberry pear balsamic. Others I liked were the champagne vinegar and the mango balsamic and the grapefruit balsamic. I didn't like the key lime. The lemongrass mint was interesting, but very strong on the mint. Overall it was fun to see what they have and try new ones. I still left with only my favorites. I still have plenty of olive oil so I didn't buy any of those, but I did try the spicy Calabrian pesto oil. Oh- they have ice cream samples if you wanna try the balsamic on ice cream!

    Having been introduced to infused olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars as simple salad…read moredressing, my wife discovered Mount Dora Olive Oil Company (OOC) through word of mouth. Although Mount Dora can be a fun destination on its own, we spent a good amount of time in this store. Sampling is permitted and is necessary if taste matters to your palate. Another key to success is using the laminated pairing card that OOC provides. Once we found an olive oil we were particular towards, we used the chart to narrow down the balsamic vinegars. The balsamic vinegars on their own were quite tasty! However, we had to stick to our original goal and figure out the pairing. We eventually chose the Lime olive oil and Blackberry Ginger balsamic and the Garlic Olive oil and Neapolitan Herb balsamic. We also purchased the silicone pour caps that are reusable and easily cleaned in the dishwasher (we were told). The employees were very helpful in their assistance and recommendations and suggestions. We found out from them that the infused oils are imported from Chile and balsamic vinegars are imported from Italy. If enough is purchased during a trip and you're a part of their rewards program, you can get free stuff. On this visit, we crossed a threshold and received a free small bottle of balsamic vinegar, of our choice from the selection available for this reward. Reviews at home since implementing the simplifies salad dressing options have been very positive. One taster said, "mind blown." Our mission has been accomplished. If you ever have some time in Mount Dora, definitely stop in here and give your taste buds something different.
