Paint studio, wine bar, art gallery rolled into one! A SWFL must do! Paint a beach scene (or whatever you want!) On canvas, a coconut, wine glass, beer stein,wood pallets, etc! It's FUN art, not fine art! No experience needed! We help you along. Locally owned. Not your average "paint and sip".

Katryna taught a step-by-step Leoma Lovegrove inspired painting class. I was astonished that I could reproduce anything remotely resembling the subject matter! Katryna is able to encourage the artist out! Fun. Relaxed. No pressure. Zero experience needed. But you need to experience art in the garden!

Went on a mission to find the perfect vintage hat and accessories to wear to Kentucky horse races - wow did I hit the jackpot! James took the time to understand my taste and the look I wanted, and found truly unique, special pieces to take my outfit from okay to standout gorgeous. The hats, did I mention the hats? From his huge inventory, James plucked the most flattering style for my face, hair and outfit, then coordinated lovely gloves and purse to boot, giving me great jewelry tips that enabled me to use my own pieces to style this just right. This place is truly special, if you have any interest in the history of fashion, or just want a fun day browsing through spectacular clothing, don’t miss this style mecca. Prices were also very reasonable. Cant wait to wear my amazing finds on Ky. Oaks day, see you in the La Troienne winners circle?

This quaint and cozy little gallery has been supporting and promoting local artists since 2008! In their new location, inside the Butterfly Estates of Fort Myers, they occupy a beautiful space, surrounded by flowers and butterflies. Inside, you’ll find a world of amazing creations from pottery to paintings, sculptures and fine crafts, jewelry and more. It’s amazing that 99% of their inventory is created by artists living right here in SWFL. If you’ve never visited, wow. What are you wait here for and please buy something to support this venue. It is the only one of its kind and they rely on their commissions from sales to survive. I will definitely come back and continue to support this amazing venue.

From the moment you walk in you are filled with a sense of "this place is special"!!! I have been there quite a few times and consider it one of my getaways to find unique items, amazing cocktails, and the owners are the cherry on top! The back of Remedies is where the magic all comes together. It's truly secret garden-esque. The candles, the plants, the statues, it's all quite intoxicating! But truly what sets this gem apart are the owners. The owners have taken so much time to curate unique items and create this atmosphere. This is what sets it apart, in my opinion. You feel it in every inch of this beautiful establishment! Tyna and Anthony make you feel at home and truly care for every single person that walks into their "baby"! REMEDIES PARLOR is a must see!!!!!

8. Sun Harvest Citrus
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,295 reviews
In the groves and store, Sun Harvest Citrus has a long-standing tradition of bringing you the very best Florida-grown citrus – a tradition that spans three generations of our family. It began in 1940 when Robert Edsall, Sr. planted his first citrus grove in Vero Beach. He chose this Indian River location because he knew the soil, water and climate conditions were perfect for growing the most delicious citrus in the world. This legacy was handed down to Robert’s son, Bobby, and continues today through the leadership of Robert’s grandson, David McKenzie. In 1990, the business took on a new dimension when the family decided to offer the extraordinary taste of Indian River Citrus to the public by building its own packinghouse and retail store. The result? Sun Harvest Citrus, born under the leadership of Robert's granddaughter, Sandy McKenzie Nicely.

I ordered 2 "create your own boxes and received 2 gift boxes by mistake. I called customer service and the woman was super nice and immediately corrected the problem and sent out the right 2 "create your own boxes. I received the corrected order in 2 days. We have never been happier with their service and the chocolates are delicious!
