Dana & Jared
Things To Do
SATURDAY ONLY: Winter Park Farmers Market 8 a.m. to 1 p.m
Located in the heart of Downtown Winter Park, this is perfect to grab a quick local bite on Saturday before the wedding, and a delicious coffee to fuel the big day. It's a little slice of our typical Saturday in Orlando.
The Wine Room on Park Avenue
Very close to the venue and the recommended hotels. If you're a wine lover, this is the place for you to kick back and catch up with loved ones. This unique Winter Park Staple has 100s of wines to sample and explore. We LOVE the Giorgi Costarosa Sangue di Giuda.
Buttermilk Bakery
This is hands down the best bakery in Orlando. It's also less than 10 minutes away from the venue. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, you gotta check it out. They open at 8am, we recommend ordering online right when they open - they sell out fast!
Foxtail Coffee - Winter Park
This is a 2 minute walk from Buttermilk cafe, a classic Florida chain that gets the job done.
Boca
The food is amazing and there's truly something for everyone. You'll be able to walk here if you're staying at the Alfond Inn
Briarpatch Restaurant
If you're looking for a sit-down breakfast that's walking distance from the Alfond Inn, don't tell Jared but Dana deems Briarpatch 5 star worthy. Be sure to get there early, the wait is usually pretty long!
Stasio's Italian Deli & Market
Stasio's is without a question the best Italian Deli in Orlando. If you're looking for a quick breakfast sandwich, or a bite for lunch - this is your spot!
Hillstone Restaurant
You absolutely need a reservation to go here, but if you can get one, this is a must not miss for lunch or dinner.
Pour Choice Taphouse
Don't let the name fool you, if you're looking for a chill place to kick back and bond with the people who you haven't seen in forever - this is the place for you. They have an open tap floor plan with many many choices from interesting brews to light wines, and games to play - usually much less crowed than Guesthouse!
The Guesthouse
This is a great cocktail bar in the area that isn't exactly downtown Orlando party vibes but still very fun. Lots of places to sit and catch up. Sunroom is next door which is also great.
The Ravenous Pig
We can't say enough great things about Ravenous Pig! If you're in the mood for a cheese board, short-ribs, or oysters, this is a perfect spot for you. We love the enjoying a craft cocktail in the beer garden. The atmosphere is casual and great to catch up with friends and family.
Santiago's Bodega | Orlando
This is Dana and Jared's absolute favorite place for brunch, lunch or dinner. It checks off the boxes of amazing tapas, bottomless mimosas and the best sangria in all of Orlando. If you're looking for a sit-down this is the place for you.
Mead Botanical Garden
Beautiful garden to explore some nature - very close to the venue and Buttermilk bakery.
Wekiwa Springs State Park
Gorgeous state park if you're looking to explore some Florida nature. They have swimming, hiking, kayaking and much more if you're looking for an all day affair that's not the theme parks to do while you're here!
