Reviews of San Sebastian Winery (Winery)

Collin Moore

The winery is great and the wines delicious but don’t be fooled by their offer to ship product to you. In July I visited, loved the wine so I ordered 8 bottles while at the winery to be shipped to my home in Virginia Beach. UPS contacted me within a few days with a delivery date during the week and let me know I would have to be there to sign for the package. UPS will not provide a delivery time unless you provide them with additional personal information that they most certainly share with third parties. I waited from 9:00AM until they arrived at 7:30PM, missing an entire day of work. The wine had been in the delivery truck all day in 100+ degree heat. I estimate each bottle was 95-105 degrees (but may have been hotter) as I unpacked them. To date, I have opened 3 of the 8 bottles, they were all undrinkable, the tase is sour and vinegar like. They are nothing like what we tasted in St. Augustine! The process was a total let down and waste of my money. I blame the shipping process and the heat but ultimately it’s the winery’s fault because this is the delivery vehicle they chose. I recommend you fly your wine home with you or order shipments during cooler months. I also recommend you do visit the winery, it’s beautiful and the wines are delicious as they’re meant to taste.

Excellent small winery nestled in downtown Saint Augustine, Florida. A true local business, they utilize local products to make their wines. Very interesting how they use the barrels to age the wines. For instance09hey work with another local business (Saint Augustine Distillery) to use their barrels to flavor their port. The sweeter grapes are grown in the region, where other grapes are brought in from North Carolina and other areas that grown those type grapes. Highly recommended to visit when you are in the area. Thanks for the free wine tasting.

San Sebastian is the best winery I have ever visited . It is a very big winery with over ten wines tasting station from the first floor all the way to the third floor. There are a lot of great,delicious and different varieties of wine. They have all kinds of accessories available for serving wine, if you think about setup a private wine collection or a breuvage table at your home or for a event or such they have everything you need that related to wine. For those of you who want to go wine tasting but need to eat something first this is perfect because it also has a very beautiful roof top restaurant with live band on the weekend. The restaurant is very spacious with an incredible view of the Saint Augustine biggest and oldest building like the Cathedral. The food was so good and the service was fast. I really enjoyed the time that I spent at this place. The only thing that I would complain about is the parking but it seems that they are already working on making a big parking lot in the back of the winery. For me if Saint Augustine has then top places I think San Sebastian Winery is one of them with no hesitation. I hope that you have a good time over there!

Friendly staff and great selection. This trip taught me to be more open to American wines from outside California.

Nice tour with good wine. We really enjoyed the rooftop atmosphere.

Taylor Lomprez

Live music and roof top bar were perfect for a beautiful night out! There was room to dance and their sangrias are incredible! Great for a date night!

I recently left a review and misnamed our tasting guide. Kaila was our teacher during our tour. I am sitting here sipping some of the winery’s Port. Very impressed. My other review was for the distillery. Big fan of the winery and all the staff. Can’t wait to come back.

Roger Rios Matias

Very much enjoyed the walk through the winery. It's not what I expected, as it's a self guided tour. Pretty much just walk to a few different stations and taste a couple of weeks at each.

Brian Moore

Really nice experience. A short, informative tour then a relaxed and interesting tasting session. Great little gift shop, too. I wish we had time to check out the rooftop bar during our visit!

JosieLee Predmore

We thought that there would be a tour and there wasn't one. I did do some wine tasting but they did not tell me about the wine just poured it a d that was it. Will not go back ever.

This is certainly one of my more favorite wineries to visit. The set up is nice and you get the samples as you take the tour from the time I've been. The port was a favorite but it sure is sweet. It has been awhile though so I don't really remember the other wines though I remember many were sweet which I liked but none stood out in particular. BEWARE, this place GETS BUSY ON WEEKENDS.

Ciara Jimenez

Loved it! Tour was nice, everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Wine was delicious and lunch was great. Must visit if you are at St Sebastian.

Absolutely wonderful winery. The staff is very nice. A must stop for wine lovers!

Shereta Williams

Amazing sunset views and terrific wine on rooftop overlooking San Sebastian River. Pinot Grigio was particularly good. Live music and fun, nice crowd.

Sailorman 76

Great and informative tour. Lots of information and a fun, free wine tasting. Check out the rooftop for music and light snacks. Allow about 2 hours for tour and wine tasting. Parking can be a challenge. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Worth seeing!

Becky Marshall

Great if you like sweet wines. We didn't take the tour and tasting so can't comment on that. The gift shop was very nice and we bought some wine to take home and try.

Amanda Confiado

Awesome place to relax! You can sit on the rooftop and enjoy the sunset while listening to live music and sipping sangria! Could life get any better?

Pam Wells

Great tasting! I love that we can come up to the patio and hang out. I broke one of my wine glass we got from you guys so we will definitely be back for more.

Andy Ritter

The winery tour was good. A nice video talking about the history. We kept having people come in the room when video was playing. It was a bit disrupting. The video and the tour guide were informative. The tasting was plentiful and good. My only regret was not buying a bottle or two as there were some good ones.

I have to share with you this has been one of my favorite wine tour and tastings. The wine

Marianne Kocur

Great tour and wine tasting experience. Tour guides were very friendly and nice. It was the young man's first tour and he did a great job. Thank you for a great experience and complimentary wine!

Going With The Joe JP22

The tour was fun. Lots of tastes. Not as plentiful a pour as some wineries and distilleries but still quite good. The pourers were quite amiable and fun. Rooftop restaurant bar/dining was GREAT! Kelly, our server, was stellar. She was pleasant, fun, accommodating and helpful. Live music was excellent. Lovely sunny 77 degree afternoon

Louisa Paul

I love this wine so much enjoy the reds all the time.

Christoffer Ahlstrøm

Just went in for a bottle of wine. The staff was extremely friendly and service minded.

L Allphin

Did the tasting at warp speed, but found a few great tasting wines. We ultimately bought a few bottles of the one in the lighthouse bottle, which will keep bringing us memories even after we drink them.

Bradd Littleton

Free wine tasting in a cool building, friendly staff. Decent wines for the price!

Ed Mck

My first visit I wish I had made sooner. Live a few hours away tho. They serve wine, not any teas or racism. Get to sample then purchase what you liked. Pulling into the rear to park, be careful the curb is in the driveway on the left.

I have been to St. Augustine probably 50-60 times. Most included going to the winery. I'm so happy Publix sells your Rosa wine. It's delicious. The winery is amazing.

Keith U

Allison made our tour very informative. The tour consists of a 10 minute video and a complimentary wine tasting after. The pours were modest, but considering they were free, it was expected. We tried 9 different wines. There was never any pressure to buy, but we ended up getting a few bottles of their red wine and mulling spice.

Ed Al

If you go St. Augustine you must visit this place!!!good food, good wine, excellent service since the first contact with the Chilean Lady...

Brielle Deacon

The rooftop bar is outstanding!! The wedge salad was super fresh and great. Service was quick & friendly. Loved it, we’ll be back again!!

Tom G

The tour and tastings were fun. There are some great wines to be had here. Macey was an excellent tour guide! Would recommend stopping by the distillery for a tour and the chocolate factory as well while you’re in the area.

Cherie Buller

Most of the wines were in the sweeter side, and I enjoyed the live music. The size of the pour wasn't super generous but the girls were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, we had a great time

Amarah Koba-Rodriguez

Great wine samplings. The servers were great friendly, and funny. Shop was nice. their wines were tasty so thats what really matters in the end.

Austin

We went on a day when the tour was self guided because of a holiday but the wine was great and it was cool

Natasha Bogomazova

Nice place with live music. Good local wine. Beautiful view if you seats on the top of the roof. Services is nice and friendly!

Steven Miller

So first of all, this is definitely a delicious place for wine and food! There’s a restaurant upstairs on the third floor that serves great food, scenery, and varieties of wines from downstairs! What also blew my mind is how they support the endangered monarch butterfly with native milkweed in front of the building! It’s nice to see businesses supporting endangered wildlife! Great job guys!
