Sunshine, Spanish w**e, and nowhere to be. ☀️🍷

The Grand Tasting at Markland House is our daytime finale, and there’s more than one way to do it:

🍷 Grand Tasting: wander, sip, repeat
🎓 The First Pour W**e Pairing Class: learn the art of the pairing, then head into the festival before the crowd
✨ VIP Private Selection Tasting: slip into an exclusive lounge in the Crisp-Ellert for top-shelf Spanish pours and chef-crafted bites

Fair warning: VIP sells out every year. 👀

🎟️ Tickets go live Fri., Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. at spanishw**efestival.com

Proceeds support Flagler College hospitality students. Cheers to that. 🙌

The festival is also funded in part by the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council and the St. Johns Cultural Council.

Every year, a few students tell us they’re nervous before the Cava Reception & W**e Pairing Dinner. And every year, we tell them the same thing: everyone in that room wants you to succeed.

That’s what makes this festival so special.

On Friday night, guests gather in the Solarium of the Ponce de Leon Hotel for cava and a dinner of Spanish w**e pairings. What they also get is a front-row seat to Flagler College hospitality students doing something hard and doing it well, in a room full of people cheering them on.

It’s the best kind of learning environment, and your seat at the table is part of it. Proceeds support student scholarships and professional development.

New this year: Joaquín Patilla Ramos of Tasters W**e, our premier w**e vendor for the 2027 festival, is donating w**e that will ship directly from Spain. Joaquín is also bringing Nacho Leon, founding w**emaker of Demencia W**e, to St. Augustine to be our featured w**emaker for Friday’s Cava Reception & W**e Pairing Dinner and Saturday’s masterclass.

Tickets go live Friday, Nov. 6, at 9 a.m. at spanishw**efestival.com.

The festival is also funded in part by the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council and the St. Johns Cultural Council.

The first night of the festival always has a certain buzz. The letters light up, the string lights come on over the Lightner Museum terrace, and guests start making their way from table to table to see what local vendors have brought to share.

Tapas, W**e & Spirits kicks off the festival on Thursday, Feb. 18, at the Lightner Museum, the building Henry Flagler opened as the Hotel Alcazar in 1888. It’s a mingle-and-graze kind of evening: tapas from St. Augustine favorites, Spanish w**e and spirits, and catching up with people you haven’t seen since last year.

Thank you to the Lightner Museum, our venue sponsor, for opening its doors (and its terrace) to us again.

This one sold out last year, so don’t wait. Tickets go live Friday, Nov. 6, at 9 a.m. at spanishw**efestival.com. Proceeds support Flagler College hospitality students.

The festival is also funded in part by the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council and the St. Johns Cultural Council.
