Local Business Spotlight
If you love wine, farm fresh food, and a great atmosphere then you need to check out Keel and Curley Farms in Plant City. Tampa Bay’s very own winery has so much to offer. You can do a wine, beer, and cider tasting, get a tour of the farm on their tractor, pet some cute farm animals, and even learn how they turn fruit into wine.
The food is just as delicious as their drinks. We recommend trying their Caprese Platter and their Bleu and Blue Burger! This is the perfect place to go to with friends to enjoy a full day of wining and dining.
Staff Pick of the Week - Natalie
When I’m looking for a spot to hang out with friends I always recommend Sparkman Wharf. I love the waterfront views, music, craft beer, and the variety of dining options. It’s family and dog friendly if you want to bring along the little ones.
I like going to Fermented Reality Biergarten for a cold, craft beer and then heading to Gallito Taqueria for some Carne Asada Tacos. The options are endless so even the pickiest eater will find something here. For dessert I like to cool off with some ice cream from Jeni’s. This is the perfect spot to come to on a beautiful Tampa day!
