Great sampling for $5 with 3 different stations though out the building!! Tasting staff was fantastic including Donald. Great charcuterie and wine on the upstairs patio after!

Welcomed professionally and courteously. $5 for tour and 6 1 oz samples sounds very reasonable. Introduction film was really well done. Tour was a joke, maybe 8 to 10 minutes with guide speaking quickly enough that several of us couldn't understand. Store is quite nice contrasted to the wine which I didn't care for. My wife told me to remember that it was only $5.

The tasting was a bit disappointing compared to others we've been to. They just gave us the wine and the name, didn't explain anything or go into any detail. No cup of water to cleanse pallet or even a spit cup of you didnt care for it like most other tastings provide. The host seemed a bit put out actually. And you had to choose between white or red, would have liked to tried a bit of both. But overall 2 of the 6 wines we tasted we liked and purchased.

San Sebastian Winery in St Augustine is a great place to stop and enjoy wine tasting. The tasting experience is relaxed and enjoyable, with a good variety of wines to try. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, making it a nice break while exploring the city. A good spot to sample local wines and enjoy the setting.

We had dinner here and it was so amazing! We had four different entrees and each one was terrific. Our server was so sweet - we will definitely visit again.

What a great local find! This Florida winery is a hidden gem. Their wines are incredibly smooth with none of the usual tannins aftertaste. A fantastic tasting menu and a beautiful building. And you get to keep the tasting glasses with the tour. There are also some original items not usually seen in the shops. Good prices for such great wines!

Amazing staff that were cheerful, helpful, and knowledgeable. Really 1st class service. The wines were decent and better than expected. And they allow dogs and most are dog lovers there. Really can't go wrong for $5 fee. We'll worth a try. And the atmosphere is nice. I will visit again.

Roof top bar is another must visit for tourists and locals alike. Catch a Jazz duo or other music on weekends and some week days. Check the schedule. Great views, good cocktails. The wine is just OK but the atmosphere is delightful.

Good experience, wines are good and for every taste. A bit pricey to my taste compared to other renowned brands and types. The tasting has become less personal and interesting compared to a few years back.. And is not free anymore. Still ok value at 5 bucks.
Not a Tour. Not a Winery. Quite misleading; this should be correctly called a “Wine Shop and Distributor.” Out trip included what we thought it was going to be a tour of a winery. We expected to see stem removers, grape crushers, fermentation bins, aging containers and aging barrels, like those of other real wineries. Nothing, no tour. In fact the place is an outlet of wines manufactured elsewhere. You pay for a non-existing tour and a meager tasting of wines they want to sell you; basically you are paying the outlet for their promotion. Avoid it.

I had a very disappointing experience at the San Sebastian Winery in St. Augustine. The lady in charge of charging for the wine tasting tour treated me very poorly. Her attitude was rude and unprofessional, and it made the visit uncomfortable from the moment I arrived.
This place is supposed to offer a pleasant and welcoming experience, but unfortunately, her behavior ruined it for me. I hope management takes this seriously and improves the customer service, because the treatment I received was unacceptable.

One of our favorite places. Enjoy the rooftop for wine, food, live music and views.

I love San Sebastian Winery, and for years I've visited them whenever I come during the year, but I'm surprised, the prices have increased drastically, especially now there's a $5.00 fee for tasting per person which I disagree with.

Whoever the old woman was checking people in on Nov 28, 2025 at around 230pm, needs fired. My family and myself stopped by for a wine tasting (first time guest). After we paid for our tasting my 12 year old thought I forgot my wine glass and went and got one for me. He returned to me with the cup and when I turned my back the old lady……. The one with way too much eye make up and skin like leather,……..stormed after us yelling…….”hey hey!!!!! Those aren’t FREEEEEEEE! They’re 5$!!!!” Completely embarrassed with her behavior and trying to deescalate the situation (because literally everyone in line was staring at this point), I said, “I’m sorry, no worries I’ll just buy it”. I didn’t want to just give it back in fear of making it look like my child was stealing vs an innocent mistake. Needless to say, she ruined my whole experience there and I felt like people were thinking my son was trying to steal when he was just confused. I won’t return here nor will I recommend family or friends. Tell that woman to fix her attitude and give her a lesson in customer service !!!
