Fun afternoon on the water
Friendly crew, gave some history but allowed guests to enjoy the views without overwhelming them. Wine is not the best
via Viator
Octoberfest beer tasting cruise was a hit
We actually did their Oktoberfest Beer tasting cruise, which was a new offering for October 2026. The crew members were dressed in their best German garbs. Rose was our beer guide and did a fabulous job describing each of the 7 beers we got to taste. 2 were German beers and 5 were Florida beers. We were given small glass beer mugs for the tastings and got to take them home with us. We had soft pretzel bites and 2 varieties of German sausage with sauces. We had German music and had fun doing a few German dances. It was a great evening even though the clouds were a bit threatening looking. But we stayed dry the entire time and had a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend the tour. We did get to see the usual St Augustine sights ( the historic fort and bridges). We also saw a handful of Roseate Spoonbills feeding in shallow water.

Enjoyable and Relaxing
We had a thoroughly enjoyable cruise. The crew was professional but entertaining. Rose, who did a majority of the narration, kept things moving at a nice pace. It was a relaxing start to the evening😊

Wine tour
we had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. It was perfect weather and lots of dolphin. The wine was really good and so was the charcuterie.

Perfect way to spend an afternoon!
Its always a great day to be on a boat! We had a fun day seeing a few of the sights of St Augustine while also trying some interesting wines - which are accompanied by a little snack! Perfect way to spend an afternoon!

Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.
How much does Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.
Is Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 494 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine?
+
Around 173 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Augustine?
+
St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Augustine?
+
February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Augustine?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine?
+
Included: Local guide; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Live commentary on board; and Wine tasting of 6 delicious rotating wines!. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine?
+
This cruise is on the vessel GREAT BLUE HERON. If you are booked your tour for a SUNDAY, this cruise will be on vessel OSPREY. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Wine Tasting Cruise in St. Augustine if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
