This St. Augustine food and wine tour gets visitors genuinely excited, and it's clear the guides make all the difference. People rave about how Rob, Kimberly, René, and Mandy don't just shuttle you around on a golf cart – they bring the city's history alive while introducing you to restaurants you'd never discover on your own. The experience hits that sweet spot of being educational without feeling like a history lecture, with guides who know when to share fascinating tidbits and when to just let you enjoy the moment. Several reviewers mention celebrating birthdays, and the staff consistently goes out of their way to make those occasions special with thoughtful surprises. What really stands out is the quality and variety of the food and drink at each stop. You'll hit four different locations, and reviewers emphasize you'll leave genuinely full – this isn't one of those tours with tiny portions. The wine pours generously (sometimes more than people can finish), and everything arrives freshly prepared right when your group shows up. That precision requires a tight schedule, though, so take the advice seriously about arriving 15 minutes early. One couple learned this the hard way by being just a minute late, though their guide Mandy graciously helped them catch up. Whether you're visiting for the first time or you're a local looking to see your city differently, this seems to be a consistently wonderful experience that people call the highlight of their trip.

What people are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful way to rediscover St. Augustine — even as a local! As a Flagler College alum, I have a soft spot for St. Augustine, and I love finding new reasons to explore a city I already know and love. The Tasting Tours gave me exactly that opportunity. Renee was our guide, and I appreciated how much local history and insight he shared. Even with my connection to the city, I came away having learned something new. That’s what makes this experience worthwhile for locals as well as visitors. We enjoyed tender beef paired with red wine at 17 King Restaurant, then headed to Peppers Mexican Restaurant, where Christian introduced us to some wonderful Mexican flavors. We sampled a shrimp quesadilla, chips with homemade salsa, and a margarita while learning about blue corn tortillas, the many varieties of peppers they use, and the complexity of traditional mole. I also loved discovering that Peppers has its own distillery and brings in its own mezcal. At The Gifted Cork, we enjoyed a charcuterie tasting with Chilean wine pairings. They highlight a different country or region each month, giving you another reason to return. We finished at Whips with a bourbon peach cobbler waffle topped with homemade whipped cream. I’m not even a huge dessert person, but that was a pretty wonderful way to end the tour! What I loved most was the combination of delicious food, thoughtful pairings, local stories, and the opportunity to discover businesses beyond the usual sightseeing routine. A big shout-out to Dawn and Niki for bringing these experiences together, and to Renee for making the tour so engaging. I’m already interested in trying their Silent Disco and Murder Mystery tours next! Whether you’re visiting St. Augustine or have called it home for years, this is a fun way to discover something new about a city with so much to offer. Highly recommend! @MyWanderingfork @Stjohnsmagazine @stjohnswomansmagazine
