This was our second time at San Sebastian. They give you a nice cold towel when you walk in (this was a welcome gesture in August). You start a self-guided tour and tasting that allows you to learn as little or as much about the winery & it's products as you want. The tasting is free. The dry wines are good and reasonably priced. They have lots of other great things in the gift shop.
We really liked the winery and tasting. The people were very friendly and knowledgeable. And the wine is the best i've ever tasted. and at great prices!
The wind was gusting and the drinks were flowing. What fun we had tasting wines and rooftop drinks with music. We're back home in NNY and remembering the sunshine and good times with the wines we bought. Definately will go again.
I visited the San Sebastion Winery last during my stay. This was not on purpose but I am glad I did. It is really the perfect way to end our trip. The wine is great and the staff is as well. Lovely place that I am already looking forward to again and I just left today.

It's ALL A+++

From the time you enter the door and exit you are treated like royalty by ALL staff members. I found the tour and wine tasting really informative. I liked all the muscadine and port wines. Took 6 bottles home and shared with friends. You can also order on line and have delivered. For the quality you can't beat the price. I intend to make another trip in the near future. Keep up the wonderful work. Brenda from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

Nice vineyard, entirely too flirty tour guide

I thought the winery was beautiful and the wines were tasty. I went there with my fiance and the tour guide was FLIRTING WITH MY FIANCE! My Fiance, thank God, is not stupid and didn't fall for this, but it really made it a sad day for me. Didn't she see the ring? Alcohol and wine and "fun" - my fiance said he didn't like ...
I loved visiting the Winery because you got a complete guided tour and you were able at the end of the tour to taste some amazing selections that they had. My favorite was the Sparkling Wine and the Venters Red Wine both are sweet and delicious. I highly recommend taking the tour and enjoying some good wine in the process.
My husband and I went to St. Augustine on our honeymoon and this was one of the highlights of our 3-day stay in the city.
We walked from the hotel downtown to the winery, which must have been about a mile. The weather was pleasant and there was so much to do and see (little shops, fun pubs) that we didn't mind the exercise. Once we arrived ...
The tour and wine tasting was a lot of fun and was very educational. Staff was very friendly and fun . Had a great time and bought some totally yummy wines. Tour and tasting was free !
I learned alot about wines that I didn't know, and I thought I knew everything, LOL. The wines here are great. I always send a case to my house, when leaving.
