For a fun and relaxing girls day trip in Gainesville, you have already selected two fantastic wineries to visit: Bluefield Estate Winery and Island Grove Winery Tasting Room. To complete your day with a food or art experience, here are a few great options to consider:

  • The Diner – A trendy and cozy spot in Gainesville known for its Southern-inspired comfort food. It's a great place to grab lunch or brunch with a group, and the atmosphere is casual and fun.

Alternatively, you can check out the Thomas Center Galleries for rotating local art exhibitions.
  • Chef’s Table – A fine dining experience in the heart of Gainesville. If you want to go all out and treat yourselves to a culinary experience, Chef’s Table offers farm-to-table dining with a seasonal menu. It’s perfect for a girls' dinner after a day of wine tasting.
  • The Hippodrome Theatre – If you want to combine art with entertainment, check out a show at the Hippodrome Theatre, which offers an array of live performances, from plays to comedy shows. It's a great way to end your girls' day on a cultural note.
