One of the notable features of the winery is its inviting rooftop deck, providing sweeping panoramic views of St. Augustine. This elevated vantage point offers a scenic backdrop, creating an ideal setting to savor wine and unwind.

With the desire to bring a piece of this local gem home, I made a beeline to San Sebastian Winery to procure a bottle of their rich red wine.

Whether one is a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply seeking to delve into the local flavors of St. Augustine, San Sebastian Winery stands as an inviting haven, promising a warm and enjoyable experience. It's not just a winery; it's a destination that invites you to savor the essence of the region in every sip.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting San Sebastian Winery in Saint Augustine, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The tasting tour was a highlight of my visit. I had the opportunity to try a variety of their exquisite wines, each one more delightful than the last. The staff guided me through the tasting, providing interesting information about the different varietals and the winemaking process. It was a truly educational and enjoyable experience.

What sets San Sebastian Winery apart is their convenient on-site shop. After the tasting, I was able to purchase my favorite wines to take home with me. The selection was impressive, offering a wide range of wines that catered to different tastes and preferences.

Beyond the exceptional wines, the winery's ambiance was charming and inviting. The beautifully designed space, filled with oak barrels and traditional winemaking equipment, added to the overall experience and made it feel like a true wine lover's paradise.

I highly recommend a visit to San Sebastian Winery in Saint Augustine. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply enjoy a good glass of wine, this winery offers a delightful experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

The winery was great, my wife and I came for the tasting and fell in love with both the Vintner's red and white flavors. We then went to the cellar upstairs and had more tasty wine. Amazing experience!

Very nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon. You get to taste 8 different wines for free and then you can pay $5 to try 3 more wines, bigger portion. If you go to the 3rd floor, you’ll be able to drink wine and eat, if you’d like, on the rooftop.

Such a fun experience! My wife and I came here for the first time and had a fantastic time. We loved the wine tasting and our time on the 3rd floor, where we enjoyed a nice cheese board, drinks and great music! Our server Abby was the best. Amazing wine, snacks, and personal service! I highly recommend this winery!!! We had a blast!

Beautiful rooftop restaurant with a view of the water. Nice breeze and has live music depending when you go.

Food is AMAZING. Fresh made ketchup, great savory sauces. We ordered the espresso rubbed beef starter and the Turkey Provolone Sandwich. They distill their own wine and there is a wine tasting on the ground floor.

Fast service and food came out fast too!

Had a great tasting, I liked the three reds Tom suggested. It was only $5, what? I went ahead and bought the wine glass too. I probably should have brought a bottle. I'm in Orlando so I'll be back.

We tried to go here for the wine tasting but we ended up being too late, so we took a seat upstairs to hang out. The place is on a first come first served basis and the outside seating area was filled up so we stayed inside. We ordered a few glasses of red wine and a glass of sangria, which were all very nice. Along with these we got a charcuterie board and an order of bread and dipping sauce. The board was delicious and had a great combination of cheeses with meats, along with jam and mustard (that was thankfully not too strong!). The bread was also crispy and soft, and accompanied the board perfectly. Our only observation was that it could use something fresh like grapes along with all of the savory flavors to balance it out. The dipping sauce was also nice and the same baguette came with this separate order. With several people I recommend ordering both dishes in order to get more bread to share, as it worked out for us! The place has a nice atmosphere and is great for an evening with friends or a date. We will definitely be back for the drinks and the delicious charcuterie board, and hopefully the wine tasting next time!

We had such a great time on our tour. Vince was very informative about wines and tasting. Mike upstairs walked us through a couple more wines. For only $5 it was a great deal!

Winery is always a wonderful visit. The rooftop restaurant always has great appetizers and burgers. Don't miss the hot mulled wine!

Beautiful day on the Cellar Rooftop at San Sabastian Winery. Live music, Vintners Red Sangria, cheese board, and wonderful service.
Mature crowd enjoying a Sunday afternoon.
Always enjoy our visits!

This is well run operation. If it's tasting you want, there are four free ones, or you can pay for a tasting. They have 12-14 different wines to taste. Additionally, they have A LOT of accessory items you could purchase as well. We bought three wines, some olive oil, and a wine stopper. There parking lot is fairly large, so that was no problem. It was a nice stop for us...

We sampled 8 wines to choose from either dry or sweet. Sweet was my favorite even bought a bottle. The dessert samples were to sweet for me.

After which, for $5, 3 more samples then chocolate. But, we forgot our glass which is given to take home. We did not want to walk around with it on our trolley ride.

There is a restaurant above for dinner. Did not get to go up to there to see the view.

You can purchase and return later or the next day for pick up.

Please, watch my video to realize Great experience and vibes. Wonderful tasting. Absolutely fun to be around people. Informative and amazing.
Must Visit when you are downtown in Saint Augustine, Florida (157 King Street).
If you miss the tours, the bar upstairs is opened at night to listen to music, to sample with pleasure and see the gorgeous city view.

Nice place, service. I really liked how the wine tasting went, after which we were able to choose the one we liked the most for purchase. The wine is really excellent quality!

We were a bit late, but they squeezed us in for the tour. It was a nice tour, and wine tasting. We both discovered a new wine that we like. Afterward we went up the restaurant. It had a cozy atmosphere, and live music. Our waitress was very nice. The BLT was tasty.

The winery was really nice and I loved that they offered the free wine tasting and then a $5 premium tasting on the second floor. Tom on the second floor was really great on providing suggestions and was super attentive to all the customers. The employees at the other wine stations were also very friendly and knowledgeable on the products.
This place is completely worth the stop in.

We had a lovely time here. Wine tasting was great. We made our way to the rooftop and had a wonderful late lunch. We will be back

After a less than a good experience at Fish Camp, we took our friends from out of the country for a bit of a wine tasting experience! I’m so glad we did, San Sebastián Winery made our experience amazing. It is free! They tell you all about the wine making process and the different kinds of wine they make. The staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, polite, nice, and helpful. They also have a paid tasting of three special wines for only $5, $10 if you want a souvenir glass of wine (Super Cute glass, they rinse it after you use it, dry it, and package it for you.) then on to the next 2 more delicious tastings! To finish, we went to the rooftop where their restaurant had live music and spectacular service, with a fantastic view. We were so pleased with the service, our waitress was fabulous, she took care of us with kindness, respect, politeness, she was an overall rock star, witty, super nice and fast. If you’re in the area, you must try this place and finish strong making it to the rooftop for great service and great food! We will be going back soon, our entire experience was truly amazing.

Very cool venue. Live music is very enjoyable and the roof top view is fantastic. The red wines are smooth and rich in flavor. And definitely try the chucutery board. Very delicious. Enjoy 😉
