About Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery
Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery in Homestead is a deliberate destination, not a casual stop: a tropical fruit winery and brewery 40 minutes south of Miami that produces drinks — lychee, avocado, passion fruit wines — you cannot find anywhere else in the county. Walk-ins are easy on weekdays. The fruit wine flights are the reason to go; the drive is the trade-off to weigh.
Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery: Worth the Drive to Homestead?
Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery sits at 30205 SW 217th Ave in Homestead — a meaningful 35-to-45-minute drive south from central Miami, which makes it a deliberate destination rather than a casual drop-in. That distance is the single most telling fact about this venue: if you're going, you're committing. The question is whether the drinks program and setting justify the trip.
What draws people out here is something you won't find at any Miami Beach cocktail bar: a winery and brewery operating on South Florida's agricultural frontier, producing fruit wines made from tropical crops grown in the Redlands. Visually, the property reads more like an outdoor tropical compound than a conventional tasting room — open-air spaces, lush greenery, the kind of low-key sprawl that signals a weekend-outing mentality rather than a quick drink. If you've visited once and were struck by the setting, a return trip is leading planned around the drinks menu itself, specifically the fruit wine lineup, which is the program's genuine point of differentiation.
The cocktail and drinks angle here is direct: this is not a craft cocktail bar in the mode of Bar Leather Apron in Honolulu or Jewel of the South in New Orleans, where technical precision and bartender ambition drive the experience. Schnebly's drinks program is built around its house-made tropical fruit wines, lychee, avocado, passion fruit, similar South Florida produce, alongside its brewery output. The ambition is regional specificity, not mixological complexity. For a returning visitor, the move is to work through the wine flight options rather than defaulting to beer, since the fruit wines are what you genuinely cannot replicate anywhere else in Miami Dade County. See our full Miami Dade County wineries guide for how it fits the broader local picture.
Booking here is easy by Miami standards. Walk-ins are generally workable, particularly on weekdays, though weekend afternoons draw families and group outings from across the county, so arriving early gives you the leading access to outdoor seating. This is not a venue where you need to plan weeks in advance, a few days' notice or same-day arrival on a weekday is usually sufficient.
Reservations: Walk-ins typically accepted; weekend visits benefit from arriving before noon. Dress: Casual, this is an outdoor agricultural-area venue. Budget: Pricing data is not confirmed in our records; expect mid-range tasting-room pricing consistent with Florida wine country norms. Getting there: Drive or rideshare from Miami; no practical transit option exists for this address.
For context on what else is happening in the county's drinks scene, see our full Miami Dade County bars guide and the Miami Dade County restaurants guide. If you want a brewery closer to the urban core, Miami Brewing Company is worth comparing. For food alongside drinks in a similar casual setting, Finka Table & Tap offers a stronger kitchen in a more accessible location.
How It Compares
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery have happy hour deals?
Happy hour details aren't confirmed in current venue data, so call ahead before making the drive from Miami. That said, Schnebly is primarily a destination experience rather than a drop-in happy hour spot — the 35-to-45-minute drive from central Miami means you're committing to at least a half-day visit, not a quick after-work drink. Budget accordingly.
Do I need a reservation at Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery?
For general tasting visits, walk-ins are typically how Schnebly operates, but special events and private groups at the Homestead property can fill up, especially on weekends. Check directly via their website before making the drive south on US-1 — a 40-minute trip with no guarantee of entry isn't worth the gamble on a busy Saturday.
What's the crowd like at Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery?
Schnebly pulls a mix of Miami day-trippers, South Dade locals, out-of-town visitors looking for something outside the standard Miami bar circuit. Weekends skew toward groups and families; weekday visits are quieter and more relaxed. It's not a scene venue — the draw is the setting and the novelty of tropical fruit wines and craft beer in an agricultural area at 30205 SW 217th Ave.
Is the food good at Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery?
Food details aren't available in the current venue record, so don't plan your visit around a meal without confirming first. Schnebly is primarily a drinks destination — the wines and beer are the reason to go. If food is a priority, eat in Miami or Homestead before or after, treat Schnebly as a tasting stop rather than a dining destination.
Is Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery good for a date?
Yes, with the right expectations. The outdoor setting in Homestead's Redland agricultural district gives it a genuinely different feel from anything you'll find in Miami proper, which works in its favor for a date. Commit to the drive, plan to spend at least two hours, pair it with a stop at one of the farm stands or restaurants in the Redland area — treating it as a half-day trip rather than a standalone reservation makes it a more convincing date move.

Compare Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery
Schnebly Redland's occupies a different category from most Miami Dade County bars and cocktail programs. If you're comparing it to technically driven venues like Kumiko or Julep, you're comparing the wrong things, those bars are built around bartender craft and menu architecture; Schnebly is built around place and agricultural product. The drinks are the point only insofar as the fruit wines express something genuinely specific to South Florida. For sheer cocktail program depth, Kumiko wins. For regional identity in a drink, Schnebly wins and nothing in Miami comes close.
Against other Miami Dade County casual-drink venues, the main trade-off is access versus experience. ABV and Bisous are far easier to reach for most Miami visitors and offer stronger cocktail lists in more conventional bar formats. If you want a good drink without a commitment, those are the practical default. Schnebly earns the trip only if you specifically want the winery-brewery format and the outdoor Redlands setting, or if you're already spending time in South Miami Dade. Canon sets the standard for spirits-focused depth in a curated bar environment; Schnebly does not compete on that axis and shouldn't be expected to.
The honest comparison for a returning visitor deciding whether to go back: if your first visit was primarily about the setting and you found the fruit wines interesting, a second trip focused on the wine flight program makes sense. If you left feeling the drinks weren't the draw, no amount of outdoor ambiance changes that calculus.
