Winter Park just got a little more generous and a lot more fun.
The Good Pour officially soft-opens today at 631 S Orlando Avenue, and it’s not your typical bottle shop. Think rooftop hangs, happy hour pours, and a mission to give back with every glass.
This marks the third Central Florida location for the philanthropic wine and spirits marketplace, already popular in College Park and Longwood. The new 5,140-square-foot space is built for celebrating, with a rentable rooftop for private events and drinks by the glass during daily happy hour from 5–8 p.m.
Inside, you’ll find more than 5,000 wines, spirits, beers, and curated gifts. Pop by the Tasting Bar for complimentary sips or swing through the Gift Bar for custom engraving. The space, which was once a bank, got a full makeover and now feels more like Central Perk, if Central Perk served bourbon flights.
But here’s what makes it “good.” Every purchase supports a cause. Shoppers can use the Good Pour app to direct proceeds toward nearly 200 nonprofits, including local ones like The Finley Project, Mead Botanical Garden, and the Winter Park Library. Since launching, The Good Pour has donated over $265,000 to organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank and the MS Society.
Founders Ray and Giuliana Horal, who call Winter Park home, said, “There’s no better place for us to bring the Good Pour experience to.” They’ve partnered with local restaurant power couple Vassilis and Katerina Coumbaros to launch the new space.
“For nearly 20 years, we’ve invested in our community by creating spaces where people can gather,” the Coumbaroses said. “The Good Pour’s Winter Park location embodies all of that.”
Mark Your Calendar:

- Grand Opening Bash – Saturday, August 9, 12–7 p.m., with rooftop DJs, tastings, giveaways, and good vibes galore
The doors are open now, but come August, the rooftop will be buzzing and this place will be pouring with purpose.
