The annual St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival on Florida’s Historic Coast has a new home this year.
The fifth annual St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival, with signature events from May 9 through May 11, will take place at Ancient City Farmstead, located in St. Augustine, just 10 minutes from the downtown historic district.
Festival founder, Jan Gourley said: “An opportunity recently presented itself to move the festival’s weekend events to Ancient City Farmstead from World Golf Village. In moving the festival this year, we were also able to establish a permanent location for the 2026 and 2027 festivals.”
“It’s a beautiful venue, surrounded by 1,500 acres of lush Florida greenery, which just opened in December 2024.” Gourley added.
Ancient City Farmstead houses wedding and event facilities and parking, with a restored farmhouse and barn.
A brand-new luxury barn which will become the festival’s new indoor, air-conditioned VIP Lounge will open this month.
“We are extremely excited about this venue, location and partnership with Ancient City Farmstead. It’s a chance to help showcase this new St. Augustine hidden gem to the southeastern region and the visitors coming for the festival.”
The St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival was named a Top 10 Food Event in Florida by USA Today 10 Best.
Presented by Publix, the festival kicks off with its River Walk Tastings event at San Sebastian Winery on Wednesday, May 7.
The , Harvest Awards & Tastings, takes place on Thursday, May 8 at the Hyatt Place in Vilano Beach.
Then, the festival’s weekend signature events all take place at Ancient City Farmstead including the Friday, May 9 Smoke on the Walk, the Saturday, May 10 Grand Tasting, and the Sunday, May 11, Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch.
