San Sebastian Winery
Founded in 1996 is located at 157 King Street, St. Augustine, Florida in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway buildings located just a few blocks from historic downtown. According to historians, this area is the birthplace of American wine, dating back to 1562.
Today, San Sebastian ranks as one of Florida’s premium wineries, and remains a pioneer in the development of many wines from hybrid and muscadine grapes. 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
- Featured Wine: Reserva, a dry white wine made from several of Florida’s Hybrid Bunch grapes.

Dakotah Winery & Vineyards
Our first vineyard was planted in 1985. The original vineyard had a mix of both fresh fruit muscadines and wine muscadines. Over the years we have fazed out the fresh fruit and replaced them with only the carlos (white) and noble (red) varieties. Currently our main vineyard is 20 acres in size and located just a couple miles north of the winery in Fanning Springs. The harvest of our muscadines takes place in august with the fermentation complete by Christmas.
- Featured Wine: Noble, made from sweet red muscadine grapes.
