ORLANDO, FL - Open Container Wine has officially opened at 8001 S Orange Blossom Trl Ste #112, Orlando, FL 32809, with a soft launch now underway ahead of a grand opening weekend planned for March 20th. Owner Jared Jones told Business Debut the concept is centered around Armenian wines served from a repurposed shipping container at the Orlando Vineland Outlets.

The outdoor bar is located between Primark and the American Girl store within the outlet’s courtyard.

What to Expect

Open Container Wine operates from a fabricated shipping container with hinged doors that open upward to create a wraparound bar experience. The space features seating for approximately 15 guests around the bar, with patio furniture planned in the coming weeks.

Guests can expect Armenian wines sourced directly from a family-owned vineyard with more than 75 years of winemaking experience. The wines are produced using grapes grown, fermented and bottled by the family before being shipped to Orlando. In addition to wine, the bar serves draft beer, wine-based slushies and charcuterie boards in partnership with local vendors.

Live sports will also be available on-site, offering a casual environment for guests to gather.

Jones, who studied history and has worked in food and beverage in Orlando for several years, said the concept blends his interests in hospitality and historical winemaking traditions.

“The wine is 100 percent organic, with no additional sugar, food coloring or preservatives,” Jones told Business Debut. “It’s a tribute to wine thousands of years ago.”

Armenia’s winemaking history dates back thousands of years, and Jones said the family continues to use traditional techniques in its production process.
