Carlos Hermosillo from Telemundo at Schnebly Winery

We are so excited to have been featured in Telemundo with Carlos Hermosillo, for his show Deportes y Más.  We were able to show him around our winery, our process for making exotic fruit wines, and he even had a personal tasting with Peter Schnebly!

“When you enter the vineyard, you get transported to a beautiful, natural refuge. It is the Southernmost vineyard in the United States, and the only one in the world that makes wine out of exotic fruits! A truly formidable place” Said Carlos as he entered our winery and saw the waterfalls and tiki ponds for the first time. 

Carlos showed his audience around our winery, the waterfalls and tiki ponds, before going into a full tour to see the process we use for making our wines, and how we bottle them! 

He talked to Milton about our wine making process, and he explained the fruits we use to make our wines, “Believe it or not, also avocados!”. After that, they visited the bottling room, where Carlos was delighted to see the way wine bottles are rinsed, filled, and then sent out. 3000 bottles an hour! 

Peter Schnebly gave him a fun taste of our bestselling wines, which Carlos really enjoyed! 

Starting with our Beach Rosé, which Peter explained is light and made from Guava. “Delicious! Really, I’m telling you, delicious! We’re getting a little drunk out of here!” Carlos said gleefully, as he sipped on this amazing wine,  “This is the fruit of Miami!”. 

Denise’s Boo Boo Reserve was the next wine they tried. A dessert wine which Carlos truly enjoyed. Passion Fruit was the third wine, “A strong wine, like me! I got goosebumps! This was the bottle that I bottled!”. Carlos seemed to really enjoy himself trying amazing tropical fruit wines from the heart of Miami. 

It was a fun time all around.
