Specializing in Muscadine varieties, Chautauqua Winery in DeFuniak Springs offers a refreshing selection for wine lovers to explore.

Complimentary tastings provide visitors with the chance to sample these unique wines and discover their preferences.

With over 120 varieties of muscadine grapes, the Chautauqua Vineyard, 12 miles north of Chautauqua Winery’s facility, grows only two native grape varieties: Carlos Muscadine and Noble Muscadine. Carlos for white wine and Noble for red. And for those who only like the dryer side of wine, the winery partners with Californian winemakers to offer a crisp Chardonnay and full body Merlot.

From sweet to firm finish, our Hwy 331 team stopped in for a tasting and found something for each discerning palate.

Taking on a tasting for yourself is the absolute best way to experience our beloved local winery.

You can stop in for a taste 7 days a week, 9 am to 4:30 pm.
