San Sebastian Winery

Do you like wine and free wine? This is the spot! My wife, sister, brother in law and I participated in a free tour with complementary tasting. We even added on a small paid tasting to finish off a great visit and of course we went home with a few bottles of their delicious wines.

Came here on a double date for a quick Wine Tasting before heading into the city for Nights of the Lights. The wine tasting gives you 6 free tasting and you can pay $5 for 2 more.I ended up purchasing a bottle of rose.Will definitely be back.

This is a must do when visiting St. Augustine. The winery tour is free and provides many samples. The route is clearly labeled with many staff members to assist you. I like the beginning of the tour where all of the photos and history are to stop and read. I enjoyed many of the samples, and the sweet red option is always a favorite. Our group opted to upgrade and pay $5 each for the additional 2 wine tastings paired with some dark chocolate. It's definitely worth it. We made our way to the gift shop, where I purchased the red wine in the lighthouse bottle and proceeds go to keep the St. Augustine Lighthouse afloat. Our party of 6 made our way to the rooftop, where we all ordered additional wines and some small bites. The food had great remarks from the girls in our group. There were plenty of tables and umbrellas to give us some shade. This was about 1.5 - 2 hour visit in total.

On the Old Town Trolley Tour, it was a hot Saturday afternoon in late August. We decided to take a break at San Sebastian Winery to cool off & sample some wines. As the only regular wine drinker in our group, I was thrilled to try San Sebastian's varieties. My son & DIL don't drink wine often but they seemed to enjoy the tastings, too. They had actually suggested coming here before we decided to take the trolley (which was also a great choice). And we had a wonderful visit at San Sebastián Winery!After our *kids* showed their IDs, we were each given a small clear plastic cup (shot-size, for reference) to use for our tastings, along with a list of wines. Not all the wines listed were available but we sampled a total of nine wines. Each sommelier identified the three wines offered at their station, and we could mark them on our list. The first stop was a large bar in the back of the gift shop, with a selection of three dry wines. The next bar was upstairs in a dark barrel room to taste the sweets. Also upstairs, the final station was in the walkway, offering dessert wines. By the time we finished tasting all nine samples, I wanted to try the flight of 3 sweet wines before we left. The servings were much larger than the tasting sizes but not quite half a glass each. And $5 total for all three was steal! All they were fantastic.Unfortunately, it seemed like the winery became very busy during our tastings upstairs, and the bar serving the flights was packed. My initial wait was just a couple of minutes, but since the flight was served one glass at a time, I found myself waiting so long for my second wine that I literally got right back in line for my final glass instead of enjoying wine #2 with my group. Though this L-shaped bar was large enough, only one bartender was taking payments & pouring, which created a tremendous line that stretched into the walkways & blocked people trying to get to the tasting stations. Though I obviously probably enjoyed our visit more than the others in my group, I think everyone had a good time. My DIL bought a cookbook from the giftshop so I was happy she wasn't terribly bored waiting on me. We all appreciated the clean bathrooms & free bottled water as well.

This place was located right across the water from the hotel we were starting at. We walked past it several times on our way to Old Town and various places to eat and drink.Then one night we decided to stop by and have a drink. I am sure glad we did too!Upon exiting our car we heard live music playing from the rooftop and upon entering the building we were greeted by several patrons who were kind and complimented me and my gf.They were smiling and told us about how great this place is. They weren't lying either!We were super excited when we got on the elevator.Upon exiting the elevator we walked into and big room full of tables and then proceeded to walk outside which was packed with a wide variety of different aged people having fun and listening to the band.We walked up to the bar and grabbed a stool. The bartenders were all friendly and serviced us upon sitting down.I had a craft beer(Hazy IPA) and my gf had a glass of Rosa. Both excellent!We really enjoyed the band playing the night we went. They were really good!Everyone was dancing and having a great time. I loved seeing that!I loved this place! Check this place out asap!Enjoy :D

A quick 10 minute walk from the Distillery is the winery; which indeed we went to. The Tour and tasting is free. On the tour your given a guide and little brochure that tells you all about the wines they have and what your tasting. Upstairs they have a $5 tasting for 3 half glass pours of two dry reds and they're sangria. However if you added the $5 wine glasses it was only $15 or so dollars; which we did. My fiancé bought a bottle of Vinters White and they're Rosa which to me tasted like a sweet moscato. Overall we'll definitely have to return to San Sebastián Winery again! If you haven't been here it's close to the Distillery right around the corner. 10/10 We're definitely returning.

Amazing rooftop with life music and great food and drinks! Sangrias are delish, so grab a pitcher hehe.. or grab a bottle of their vintage Red which is a medium body.The charcuterie boards are great, along with their burger and fries! ..also their bread and oil appetizer is tasty, as well, if your looking for a small snack to go with your wine.Seating is first come first served, so grab a seat and your server will be with you shortly to take your order.On a beautiful day you can't bet it!

I've been here multiple times. Any fun free activities are my jam. You get 8 free samples if wine in total at different stations throughout the winery and you also have an option for an addition tasting of their premium wines for $5 and you get a souvenir wine glass. Their wines also aren't that expensive, a little over $12 for a fruity white wine, which was my favorite in the tasting the Vintners White. The people leading the tastings were also very friendly and informative. Come here every time I'm in St. Augustine.

A fun free tasting experience and self-guided tour! It was easy to follow the paths set up for the tour and they led you to each tasting station. The tasting cups are little shooters. There is a premium tasting option for $5 but we decided to skip that and do the free tasting first then go to the restaurant on the rooftop deck. Honestly for the actual wine tasting part, I only enjoyed the sweet blends as most of the reds were not good. Their Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio were alright. The Vintners white and red were our favorites. Definitely on the sweeter side. We went to the cellar upstairs for some full glasses of wine and a fun app snack. There was live music and plenty of seating. I ordered the Rosa and my fiancé continued with the Vintners white. I really enjoyed the Rosa as it was semi-sweet. I would rank the Vintners white as the best, then the Rosa, and third would be Vintners red. We also ordered the Port Raspberry Baked Brie board. It was delicious! I loved the pairing of Granny Smith apples to the port raspberry sauce. Brie is just always the perfect accompaniment to any fruit, glaze, or sauces. We easily devoured the board between the two of us.

A multi generational owned winery that was very popular the day we were there with every floor packed with people. That said, the only place it felt crowded was in the theatre when we were watching a video on the history of the beginnings of the winery. We did the free tour (short and sweet) and free tasting plus the $5 tasting which included two more wine selections and a chocolates. All in all we throughly enjoyed our time spent there.
