Overview of Your Tour

Your journey begins at St. Augustine Distillery, the pioneering force that brought distilling back to Florida after decades of prohibition. This is where your St. Augustine Bourbon, Whiskey & History Experience takes flight. Guests are welcomed with a guided bourbon tasting designed exclusively for our tour: a hand-selected lineup that introduces the art and tradition behind Florida bourbon. Afterward, step behind the scenes for a short distillery tour that pulls back the curtain on the craft of whiskey making. The highlight is an unforgettable thieving demonstration, where whiskey is drawn straight from the barrel for a rare tasting few ever get to enjoy. Before departing, you’ll have time to browse the distillery’s gift shop, with purchases held safely for pickup later so you can continue the crawl unburdened.

From there, this St. Augustine Bourbon & Whiskey Tour winds through the historic brick streets of America’s oldest city, where your expert guide blends 460 years of local history with America’s long-standing love affair with whiskey. Along the way, you’ll enjoy curated flights at two of our favorite local restaurants. Each one thoughtfully paired with dishes that complement and elevate the flavors in your glass.

By the end of the evening, you’ll have savored incredible whiskey, enjoyed bites that bring out its character, and gained a deeper appreciation for the role bourbon and whiskey have played in both American history and St. Augustine’s story. More than a tasting, this is an experience that leaves you with new flavors, new knowledge, and memories that will stay with you long after the last glass.
