About St. Augustine Wine Country
St. Augustine pairs wine with history in a way no other American wine destination can match — this is the oldest continuously occupied European city in the continental United States, founded in 1565, and wine has been produced in the region in some form since the first Spanish settlers arrived. San Sebastian Winery on King Street brings that heritage into the present day, producing Florida Muscadine and Blanc du Bois wines in the heart of the historic district.
The combination of colonial architecture, Castillo de San Marcos, the Bridge of Lions, and the St. George Street pedestrian district makes St. Augustine a complete destination that happens to have wine. For most visitors, wine tasting at San Sebastian is one stop in a full-day exploration of one of America's most distinctive historic cities.
The rooftop tasting area at San Sebastian offers views across St. Augustine's roofline — one of the best vantage points in the old city, and a setting that makes Florida wine feel appropriate in a way that wouldn't be possible anywhere else.
