The fifth annual St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival has announced that its 2025 early bird discount tickets special will expire Feb. 28. The festival named “One of Florida’s Top 10 Food & Wine Festivals” by USA Today takes place on Florida’s Historic Coast, May 7-11.
The St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival is presented by Publix, and will once again be a showcase of culinary, beverage and culture that highlights regional and local chefs, celebrity guest chefs and winemakers, beverage experts, live music and artisans, along with renowned wine, spirits and beer brands from around the globe. There will be a wide variety of events for all tastebuds and budgets, from large-scale tasting events to intimate learning experiences.
The festival has just announced new VIP Private Tastings Lounge Tickets and Discount VIP Package Tickets available for 2025. Guests can save up to 25% on select festival tickets for a limited time. Go to staugustinefoodandwinefestival.com/tickets.
The festival events take place throughout historic St. Augustine, World Golf Village and Vilano Beach. World Golf Village is located 20 minutes north of downtown and is the host location site for Smoke on the Walk, the Grand Tasting and the new al fresco/covered tent, Mother’s Day Jazz Brunch on the Lawn as the perfect festival finale.
The River Walk Tastings event takes place once again in St. Augustine’s historic district at San Sebastian Winery. The Hyatt Place, St. Augustine/Vilano Beach, is the new host location for the Harvest Awards & Tastings, which is sponsored by The Recorder and St. Johns Food Service.
The festival is made possible in part by support from St. Johns Cultural Council, Florida’s Historic Coast: St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra and a 2025 St. Johns County Tourist Development Grant.
The festival’s primary official charity partner is Vilano Beach Main Street, a local St. Augustine non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. The festival donates a portion of ticket sales and 100% of the Main Event’s silent auction proceeds donated directly to Vilano Beach Main Street, with more than $100,000 in donations made possible from the festival’s own foundation, The Adfish Group/Culinary Festivals Foundation since 2022.
