San Sebastian Winery was founded in 1996 by Charles Cox. The Cox family name is synonymous with winemaking in Florida, particularly in Saint Augustine, where San Sebastian wines compete easily on the world stage. Located just a few blocks from the heart of historic downtown St. Augustine in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway buildings, this winery has a very rich history.

When touring the winery, visitors can taste a selection of San Sebastian wines along the way, and enjoy a short audio-visual presentation in the winery's upstairs theater.

The San Sebastian Winery tour is fun and informative for all ages.

Tours and Tastings: Mondays - Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The last tours and tastings will start prior to 5:00 p.m.

Wine tasting is an art, and not simply sipping, swishing and swallowing. A connoisseur of wine can distinguish the taste from one fine wine to the other. Stored and aged properly, makes all the difference to a tasty wine. The San Sebastian Winery has won over 550 awards so far with more to come each season. Vintage-dated varietals from hybrids such as Stover and Blanc Du Bois are produced and marketed along with blended and sparkling wines from native Muscadine grapes at this winery.

San Sebastian Winery, created in 1996 is situated at 157 King Street, St. Augustine, Florida in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway. According to historians, this area is the birthplace of American wine, dating back to 1562. San Sebastian is considered as one of Florida's premium wineries, and remains a forerunner in the development of table, sparkling and dessert wines from hybrid and muscadine grapes. Port and Cream Sherry dessert wines are also produced by and sold under the San Sebastian brand. San Sebastian wines are sold at the winery and at major supermarkets and wine shops throughout Florida. With over 18,000 square feet under roof, they have 40,000 gallons of wine storage capacity and their automated bottling line allows them to bottle 1250 cases of wine per day.

Wine tasting involves several steps. The wine should be poured into a clear glass and a few minutes should be taken to see the colour of the wine. White wines are actually yellow, green or brown in colour, and Red wines are a pale red or dark brown. Once you taste the wine, you can feel the bold and rich flavours around your tongue. When you first open a bottle of sparkling wine, the carbon dioxide aroma instantaneously fills the air.

A feast for all of your senses, sparkling wine can instantly put you at ease. Drinking this wine is a feast for your taste buds, bringing several different flavours to rest on your tongue at the same time. All this is taught upon your arrival at San Sebastian Winery. You will be greeted by their friendly staff who will take you on an interesting journey through the complete wine making process. After a short audio-visual presentation in theatre upstairs, you will enjoy a guided walking tour of the 18,000 square foot wine production facility.

Discover the art of winemaking in the rustic but authentic Barrel Room, learn the details of the 5,000 gallon stainless steel tanks where the wine is fermented and stored prior to bottling. You will then be taken through all the exciting steps of wine tasting, while enjoying San Sebastian Premium Wines. The wines made here are mostly muscadine grapes. Recent scientific analysis has revealed that muscadine grapes contain the highest levels of antioxidants and ellagic acid of any other fruit tested. Fresh muscadine grapes and many muscadine grape products provide many health benefits as well.

Wine and Jazz Bar is open weekends, located on the third floor rooftop patio, serving light appetizers, San Sebastian wine and imported beers. The bar features incredible live music from a wide range of talented local and regional Bands. Relax to the music and enjoy the tremendous views overlooking the St. Augustine skyline.

I need a total of 22 bottles of various wines and port. What is the cast discount - and how many are in a case? Thank you

San Sebastian Winery

St. Augustine San Sebastian Winery

According to historians, St. Augustine is believed to be the birthplace of American wine dating back to 1562. And so it only makes sense that one of the country’s premier wineries, San Sebastian Winery, would call the Nation’s Oldest City home.

The Winery’s History

Founded in 1996, the San Sebastian Winery is located in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway buildings just a few blocks from historic downtown. Today, it remains the second largest winery in the state of Florida and is one of St. Augustine’s most visited attractions hosting some 150,000 wine enthusiasts each year. Before moving to its current location, San Sebastian Winery was originally formed in 1983 by the Cox family and was quickly established as a pioneer in the development of table, sparkling and dessert wines. The winery uses Florida-grown hybrid and Muscadine grapes to create vintage-dated varietals such as Stover and Blanc Du Bois.

Since opening its doors in 1996, the San Sebastian Winery has won more than 500 medals for its variety of wines made from Muscadine and hybrid bunch grapes indigenous to the southeast. From award-winning Blanc De Fleur and Blanc Du Bois to Castillo Red, Chablis and Cream Sherry, it’s no surprise that the San Sebastian Winery is a must-see when planning your St. Augustine vacation.

Open seven days a week, the San Sebastian Winery has a bit of something for everyone including guided tours, an extensive gift shop and a rooftop wine bar. And don’t worry if you’re traveling with kids; it’s family-friendly, too. However, while children are welcome, you must be 21 years or older to partake in the tastings.
