What To Expect

Then come take a leisurely stroll, to explore the streets and some of our favorite venues, in St. Augustine! Tour Includes: 3 hours of glorious food and wine pairings 4 to 5 fabulous venues Fully guided by a licensed and knowledgeable tour host Exciting city exploration on route to each amazing venue Inclusive of food and wine (beer substitution available by request)

Flagler College

On our foodie tours, we pass by Flagler College. Founded in 1968, the campus comprises 19 acres (77,000 m ), the centerpiece of which is the Ponce de León Hotel, built in 1888 as a luxury hotel. The architects were John Carrere and Thomas Hastings, working for Henry Morrison Flagler, the industrialist, oil magnate and railroad pioneer. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

See this historic fortification built in the 17th century. The oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, the Castillo de San Marcos is a large Spanish stone fortress built to protect and defend Spain's claims in the New World. It's a National Monument and, at 325 years old, it's the oldest structure in St. Augustine.

Huguenot Cemetery

The Huguenot Cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida located across from the historic City Gate was a Protestant burial ground between the years 1821 and 1884. Prior to American occupation the Spanish city of St. Augustine was predominately Catholic and the only burial ground within the city, the Tolomato cemetery, was reserved for Catholics. Recognizing a need for a formal Protestant burial ground an area just outside the city gate was chosen by the new American administration in St. Augustine. The first burials occurred in 1821 just prior to a yellow fever epidemic which claimed the lives of a large numbers of the city's inhabitants.

Plaza de la Constitucion

Historic park in the center of downtown St. Augustine. The original city plan was built out from this location. It is bordered by The Government House, the Cathedral Basilica, and the Bridge of Lions and Matanzas Bay. Spain's 1573 Law of the Indies, Leyes de los Indies, specified that colonial town plans set aside such a plaza for government, church and public use. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen.

Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is a historic cathedral in St. Augustine, Florida, and the seat of the Catholic Bishop of St. Augustine. Constructed over five years (1793–1797), it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970. Its congregation, established in 1565, is the oldest Christian congregation in the contiguous United States.

Government House Museum

Government House dominates the west end of the Town Plaza, a unique Spanish land use component lying within a National Historic Landmark District. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen. Since 1598, a government building has stood on this site with a view of the harbor landing, accommodating administrative headquarters and residences of colonial governors appointed by the Crowns of Spain, then Britain, then Spain again. After Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, this current Government House served as a courthouse and briefly as a Capitol of the new Territory of Florida.

We had a blast on this tour! We had just gotten married and went on a mini honeymoon to St Augustine. We had booked the taco Tuesday tour originally. We were honestly pretty bummed out to receive a text the day before the tour letting us know that it was cancelled due to lack of reservations. We were offered the Corks and Forks tour instead. We were lukewarm on the idea, since neither of us are big wine drinkers but decided to give it a shot. We were blown away! This makes us want to do more food tours in the future. Melody was a wonderful tour guide and make everything very easy for us. The group we went with was fun as well. We were concerned about sharing a table with strangers in the midst of the pandemic, but everyone in our group was responsible and respectful. The food was so delicious. We went to multiple stops and while the menu varies from tour to tour, our selections were out of this world. The food portions were great and they did not skimp on the wine pours! We got a lot more than we expected and thought the whole experience was an amazing value. It was super cold the night of our tour so we didn't get as much of the city history but that was for the best. If you're more of a beer fan, some of the stops did have beer options. Absolutely worth it!

We really enjoyed the Wine & Dine Tour! It was a small group (6 guests) and we went to numerous stops via golf cart driven by our friendly and informative tour guide, Peter. The tour is a great way to try multiple restaurants in a short period of time! Our first stop was Carrera Wine Cellar where we started out with a wine tasting (including both red and white). The host was very knowledgeable about wine and they had a large selection available for purchase. After that, it was a short ride to Upscale Swinery. We walked right in, our table was ready and the food was out immediately. Delicious shrimp and grits! There were three more stops and each place was expecting us and ready. Enjoyed having a variety of food to sample, and the cheesecake at ChocoLattes was scrumptious. Lots of fun, would definitely do this again!

The tour was one of the highlights of our couples weekend, and it was the best food tour I have been on, and the best value! All the food was excellent and we had wine at each stop. Also, our tour guide, Melody took great care of us as she shared some of the colorful history of St. Augustine. I would definitely book again, and recommend Tasting Tours to my friends.
