Wine on the Water!

We had such a nice time on the wine tasting boat tour with Florida Water Tours! Sipping wine while cruising the beautiful waters was wonderful—and getting to see dolphins and other wildlife made it even more spectacular. Our captain and tour guides were lovely, knowledgeable, and entertaining, with just the right sprinkle of humor. Such a fun and relaxing way to experience St. Augustine! Highly recommend!

Fun informative ride

Fun trip! Lots of free parking which is rare in St Augustine. They sample 6 different wines on board - 3 white & 3 red. They announce the flavor/varietal, but sometimes forget to tell you the brand. The crew was cordial, funny and well informed about the area. You can expect to see dolphins and osprey during the trip. They play lively music ( standard rock that everyone knows ) and a good time is had by all. Have fun, learn a little about St Augustine, have some wine and relax!
