Keel Farms

Located in Plant City, if you live in the Tampa Bay or Orlando area it is worth the drive. The Bavarian themed menu, the Bier Garden, the local winery, and the location make it a must-go experience for locals and visitors alike. We always leave with at least a 4-pack and a bottle of wine.The staff is friendly, and knowledgable about beer/wine food pairing for tour meal. Let them guide you if you are not familiar.Two caveates... 1. Make a reservation, we have spent up to two hours waiting when we just "dropped in" to eat, and 2. The wine is a not grape, but Florida fruit-based, not a negative, just informational.Still, take your out of state friends and let them see "real Florida" for a day. A Bavarian B+ thatbis well earned.

Wow my review for Keel is a decade old so here is my review. This is the second time I've been here in the last handful of months. I went in the Fall for a dog festival. We have been to it before but it had been a few years. We enjoyed it a lot. This last time we went to do our fifth stop on Sunday for our Strawberry Pass. I ordered a strawberry shortcake cider for my drink. This was very flavorful! Loved it. I put my name in to get a table. That happened fairly quickly.Our server took a bit of time. She was okay. We ordered the strawberry flatbread. I wish there was more strawberry and the toppings but we tasted mostly mozzarella cheese not feta. It's ok. It was a good snack, & my drink was again the best part.Love Keel and all of their festivities! Will continue to go back. They are super dog friendly and I love that! They have cider, beer, and wine and do have food! They also have strawberry picking and animals here. They have inside seating and a big area to sit outside where it is covered.

This is one of the coziest, most homey feeling wineries you may come across. It's not the upscale, kind of bougie and very luxurious feeling wineries are typically known for. But that makes Keel Farms kind of amazingly refreshing.The main parking lot is directly across the street, and then you take a quick stroll over. I definitely recommend booking a tour if you are able- for that, you walk past the main building and then there will be signs for the tour. It's not super obvious upon a first look.It was really cool to tour the property and learn about the history of the winery and their brewing processes- our guide Brady did a fantastic job. Something special about them is they use fresh fruit in almost all of their offerings, so if you like sweeter or fruity wines/ ciders, then this is a must hit.We were able have 4 different tastings on the tour- but the elderberry cider was a standout. I don't think they're serving that officially yet except if you book the tasting room. Which they need to change real quick.After the tour we had lunch at the restaurant. I'll tell you- I WILL make the 30-40 minute drive just to come back and eat here. Everything was so good. I had the pesto chicken gnocchi and just about finished the whole thing. The plant city beef is an open faced beef sandwich that was pretty good too if you prefer something more along those lines.Lastly, my party of 4 decided to share 2 flights. There were so many things we wanted to try that this was the perfect way to do so. And honestly I did not try a single thing that day that I didn't enjoy. However, to the great surprise of my group, we all were in agreement that the cotton candy cider was by far the winner. Seems so weird right? But it was just so oddly good you couldn't resist. If you're looking for an enjoyable outdoor activity that's still more chill, this is a great place to come and very kid friendly too!

Keel Farms has quickly become a go-to spot for my family and I! From the amazing food and drink options, to live music, to walking around the ground with a glass of wine or cider in hand, this is the perfect place to go spend some time at. Food wise, the southern board, pork belly mac and cheese and Nashville hot flatbread are our go tos. Their pumpkin cider is incredible and a must-have when I go, but their fruity wines are also delicious. The service is always top notch here too, and we just love our experience every time we go. If you're looking for a unique place to hang out at (that's also per friendly), make sure you stop by Keel Farms!

Lovely day at Keel & Curly. If you're a wino, this isn't necessarily the place for you, simply because these are very non traditional wines. It if you love a good atmosphere, good treats, and great service this is the place for you. The wines are fantastic as well as the tastings, but are typically quite sweet and fruity. Don't forget to check out the retired goats (former goat yoga goats), you pick strawberries, tours, and the chicken coop!

Cute spot for a winery and farm to table food. Wine definitely is on the sweet side. I believe the only wine that isn't sweet was the Chardonnay. They had two frozen drinks. One was a margarita and I couldn't remember the other. Beautiful outdoor eating area. Had an outdoor bar with a stage and plenty of seating. The wine tasting area was quite crowded. It's not too big but being a weekend I'm sure they were busy. Supposedly have a tour of the grounds, but we did not pay for that. Food was great And our waitress was helpful with deciding about the wine flights and also with the food. Very rustic and appearance. The people who worked there were quite friendly and informative. Nice place.

This place is incredible! A MUST if you're visiting Tampa. The winery is equipped with an entire farm out back, amazing food and just overall good vibes. The venue hosts markets and events during the holidays and their wine is amazing. My favorite is their watermelon wine (I always take one to-go). The service here is super friendly - I have always had great experiences. They do accommodate larger groups as well.

Went here with my finance to celebrate our anniversary and check out the winery for the first time. We did a wine tasting and a tour of the farm. The lady that did the tasting made wonderful recommendations and had us taste wines we wouldn't have tried on our own. She had us try the key lime wine, which I wasn't expecting to like but it was super interesting. After the tasting we did the tour and the guy doing the tour was super knowledgeable about the process and the history of the farm. They also have a number of events going on all the time. If I didn't live an hour away, I would be going here more often!

We met a couple of friends at Keel Farms to attend their weekend market, which was great! We did a little shopping and decided to have lunch at the their restaurant. We sad outdoors, ordered a couple appetizers, a flight of wines and some entrees. The strawberry salad with blackened chicken was my favorite. The fish dip was also a hit and all the wines/ciders were tasty. After lunch we decided to do a wine tasting, which was a lot of fun. Great space to spend the weekend eating, hanging out and best of all, it's dog friendly!

Came here for a friends birthday and enjoyed some drinks and appetizers. The wine and cider flavors were so fun, the cotton candy was my favorite. The southern board was delicious, I enjoyed all the pickled veggies. This place gets packed, so I would recommend planning accordingly and making reservations. Love their new photobooth!
