Eola Wine Company

This is the unpretentious end of Orlando wine drinking, and that's the whole point. With 50-plus pours by the glass and flights of four, it rewards the curious over the credentialed, and the staff will actually let you sample before you buy instead of making you guess. Come if you want a low-key glass on a patio near Lake Eola without anyone performing sommelier at you. Skip it if you're after a loud, late nightclub scene or a deep cellar of trophy bottles, because it's a neighborhood spot, not a temple.

Weekday happy hour, 4-7pm, on the patio: prices drop, the after-work downtown crowd trickles in without swamping the place, and you get the late-afternoon light over Lake Eola before the room fills.

Order the A.B.C. flight — Anything But Chardonnay — and use the free tasting policy to trial one more glass before you settle in. It's the fastest way to find your bottle without paying for the miss.
