One of the best things about Florida retirement in Lake Ashton is that there are so many things to do in the summer. Consider a visit to Lakeridge Winery & Vinyards in nearby Clermont.

In addition to regular complimentary tours and wine tastings, Lakeridge Winery’s summer schedule is packed with fun events appropriate for the entire family.
