One of Orlando’s fastest-growing breweries is crafting a new concept, with “The Winery and Tasting Room by Brewlando” coming to ICON Park.
Since opening in 2022, Brewlando has been creating, serving and canning custom brews at its taproom and brewery in southeast Orlando, and owner Shara Pathak has set her sights on ICON Park as the home of Brewlando’s second concept, which expands into wines and cider.
“The Winery and Tasting Room by Brewlando” promises to craft an experience tailored to both wine enthusiasts and fans of specialty craft beverages.
The 1400-square-foot venue, previously home to Istanbul Lounge, will showcase a curated selection of over 50 wines and canned cocktails.
Additionally, The Winery and Tasting Room will feature specialty cider made onsite and seven exclusive Brewlando craft beers on tap. A variety of charcuterie boards will be available to complement the beverages. With both standing and patio seating, the venue will accommodate up to 120 guests.
“At Brewlando, our mission has always been to create unforgettable experiences through our craft beverages, and The Winery & Tasting Room is a natural extension of that philosophy,” Pathak said. “Our team is working tirelessly to ensure that every detail — from the inviting décor to the rich tapestry of flavors in our offerings — embodies our commitment to excellence.”
As a Central Florida resident and graduate of the University of Central Florida, Pathak knows about Orlando’s lively craft beer scene. Under her guidance and expertise, Brewlando is one of the 2 percent of breweries in the country that is fully woman-owned.
The new location will create about 10 jobs on International Drive.
The Winery and Tasting Room by Brewlando joins a lineup of more than 20 restaurants and bars at ICON Park and is expected soon. The space will feature both indoor and outdoor lounge seating and will be available to rent for private events.
With over 20 beers on tap, all crafted in-house, Brewlando offers an extensive selection that caters to a variety of tastes. The brewing process emphasizes quality ingredients and innovative techniques, allowing us to create both classic favorites and bold new flavors.
ICON Park is located at the heart of Orlando’s Entertainment District, with entrances on both International Drive and Universal Boulevard and surrounded by 150+ hotels, world-famous theme parks, the second-largest convention center in the United States, and 1,000+ restaurants, attractions and retail outlets. The area is further expanding with $5 billion in growth investments including Universal Orlando’s much-anticipated fourth theme park Epic Universe; $4 billion in new and expanding hotels, attractions, restaurants, convention space, entertainment venues and roadwork enhancements; hundreds of millions of dollars to further expand Orange County’s convention center; and a leg of the $1.75 billion high-speed rail line project, Brightline, which will directly link the I-Drive area to Orlando International Airport and the 50+ million passengers it serves annually.
