About SeaBreeze Winery SeaBreeze
Winery is centrally located on the west end of Hutchison
Blvd/Middle Beach Road on beautiful Panama City Beach. After
years of preparation the winery opened in July 2003. The grapes are brought to this facility where crushing,
pressing and fermenting take place in temperature
controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine making process is
carefully monitored in the on premises lab to insure the
highest quality. In the summer following harvest the wines
will be bottled on the wineries small but modern bottling
line. Visitors are frequently able to observe the many operations
of making fine wine as the processes are under way while tours
are being given.

Panama City Beach in Bruce, FL. The first vines were planted
in 1996 and the vineyard steadily expanded in size to 60
acres. It is presently under expansion to 100 acres by spring
2005. The Kyotee Vineyards grows several of the most popular
muscadine wine grapes. The black NOBLE from which SeaBreeze
Winery produces their red wine, the bronze CARLOS, WELDER and
MAGNOLIA from which the white wines are produced. Vineyard operations are constant and ongoing all year long
by a fulltime staff of vineyard workers. Each season the year
begins with pruning of the vines. Growth begins early
as new leaves and flower buds emerge from the dormant vine. Spring and summer are a constant and urgent program of
fertility management, weed control and irrigation in the dry
deep sands of the vineyards. As the summer rains begin the
mission changes to protecting the ever growing grapes in
preparation of late summer harvest. Harvest takes place in late August to mid September and is
a time of major challenge in the vineyard. When the time of
peak ripeness occurs the work of bringing in the harvest goes
from daylight to dark. The grapes are harvested with a
mechanical harvester which can quickly bring large quantities
of grapes in transport bins to waiting trucks that depart
immediate for SeaBreeze Winery on Panama City Beach or other
wineries in the south who use these grapes in their wines.
