The tasting room runs Wednesday through Saturday, 11am to 5pm, and Sunday, 11am to 4pm, closed Monday and Tuesday.

Sebring

Grapes of Kath Vineyards grows grapes on aptly named Muscadine Drive in Sebring, in Highlands County's central Florida ridge country.

We couldn't verify current tasting hours or sales, so call ahead.
