We love our wines and only buy from the winery. So, when we discovered St Augustine had a winery, we made plans to visit. The video was very informative and not at all boring. The tour was fun and our tour guide was a hoot! I think her name was Nina. I wish I had written it down so I...

Owner description:
San Sebastian Winery, founded in 1996 is located at 157 King Street, St. Augustine, Florida in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway buildings located just a few blocks from historic downtown. According to historians, this area is the birthplace of American wine, dating back to 1562. Today, San Sebastian ranks as one of Florida's premium wineries, and remains a pioneer in the development of table, sparkling and dessert wines from hybrid and muscadine grapes. Vintage-dated varietals from hybrids such as Stover and Blanc Du Bois are produced and marketed along with blended and sparkling wines from native Muscadine grapes. Port and Cream Sherry dessert wines are also produced by and sold under the San Sebastian brand. Together, these labels have won many awards for excellence in winemaking, over 300 so far with more to come each season. Every year more than 100,000 people are expected to visit the winery’s extensive tasting room and wine shop. San Sebastian Winery has an overall production of over 80,000 cases, (that’s over 960,000 bottles!). San Sebastian wines are sold at the winery and at major supermarkets and wine shops throughout Florida. “The Cellar Upstairs” Wine, Jazz & Blues Bar, open weekends, is located on the rooftop of the Winery building and is a best kept secret with locals. Open on weekends, featuring incredible live music from a wide range of talented local and regional Bands. Relax to the music and enjoy the tremendous views overlooking the St. Augustine skyline while enjoying a glass of San Sebastian Wine and light appetizers.

If you like to taste wine this is a great place. They have several different varieties....especially enjoyed the Port....Sherry and a sweet red. It is not a long tour, but interesting.

This was one of the best winery tours we've taken. After watching a brief video explaining the process, our guide took us the tasting room, where she generously poured 11 different samples, four of which we are planning to order online (instead of traveling home with them).

The tour & tasting was lots of fun even for those who do not drink wine. They have a wonderful eating area on the roof. The tour director was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We had a great time. We've been before and will most surely go again.

Were not able to take the tour due to timing of our visit, but did get to do the free wine tasting. Some wines are moderately priced but other merchandise is over priced. They have entertainment on weekends, which I have been told is a nice place to gather with friends (no food serrved).

Our group attended the free winery tour and wine tasting. My companions enjoy wine, and so does my daughter. I took small sips so as not to trip on my way out. I enjoyed the tour and short video about the wine growing and making process. The vineyards are not in St. Augustine, but further north in Florida. The wine...

Love this winery. The selection is excellent whether you like white, rose, red wines or want a distinct port wine. You are sure to find all your preferences here.
We drove from Sarasota the 3 hours just to buy our case with our different blends. It's a great deal! They also have guided and self-guided tours that offer free samples...

I actually read some reviews and they all said wonderful things, so last week (April 13th) we made a road trip to St. Augustine. Don't Miss This One! What I loved about it was: the brief video was not boring and informational. We then proceeded to the wine tasting (no charge) and it was great! We got to taste many...

If you're in St. Augustine this is a must stop! You can either take the site-seeing trolly that drives around town or drive directly there yourself. Very easy to find. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the winery and its wines. They even have helpful hints on which wines to serve with what foods etc. Even a recipe using...
