Eden Winery in Alva, Florida

Wednesday, May 11th, we decided to go to Alva, a little town off Rt 80 east of Fort Myers to visit Eden Winery, which has been there for over 30 years.  We've often seen the signs, but never stopped.  The winery is located on about 23 acres of "old Florida"...huge live oak trees with Spanish moss and ponds.  The first thing we saw next to the wine tasting room were two "free range" cows.  We wondered if maybe they were the grape stompers!  Inside, there were two bull mastiffs who looked like they tasted one too many bottles.  For a very modest cost of $2.50  per person, we  tried 6 wines which were very tasty.  No wine tour was available, but the livestock made up for that!
