    Came here because our realtor, Noah Bailey Realty, gave us a free glass of wine! Super cute inside. The AC was glorious, the layout was neat, and the patio was a nice addition. The staff members were kind. They have a private tasting room and offer wine flights. My complimentary glass of Cabernet was refreshing. The patio was lovely and had the cutest cat. Definitely will come back!

    Flight of wines. 2oz pours.

    Cute place where you can sit on a rocking chair on an indoor porch and enjoy wine flights and snacks. They had four available wine flights when we visited and the basic red flight was very good.

    First went into the Wine Cellar on a food tasting tour and got a tour of the shop and several tastings. We bought several wines that night. We went back yesterday and wanted to buy a few more bottles and with some samplings bought some new ones. They all tasted great. The shop has great selections and the staff is helpful and very knowledgeable.

    Really good wine stop! You can buy a glass, get a flight or buy a card and sample from the machines. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable.

    Beer cheese pretzel charcuterie board, ancient city orange beer and a white classic wine flight and water:

    We stopped by Carrera Wine Cellar while walking around downtown area. Glad we did. The whole staff is friendly and accommodating. We had a couple wine flights and a couple light fruity ales. The highlight and main reason why we will be back again and again is for the fresh pretzel charcuterie board with their in house made beer cheese. This was such a great little stop before dinner. We will come again and bring friends and family to enjoy a nice time out.

    Wine flights.

    I love Carrera! If you love wine and enjoy tasting different types, sipping and savoring. You can spend hours here sitting in their rocking chairs nibbling cheese and Bavarian pretzels. Then pick your faves to take home with you! This is my happy place.

    We are wine club members at Carrera, a wonderful place in St. Augustine's Uptown neighborhood - just north of the historic district. Great wine selection to drink in one of the cozy seating areas or purchase to enjoy at home. Daily flights and tastings with cheese plates. Lots of locals and groups of happy tourists. Super cute wine themed decor throughout.

    Carrera Wine Cellar is listed as the Best Wine Specialty Shop in St Augustine. I went to theFlying Goat Cellars Special Tasting there today and was very impressed how a small and cozy wine place made a big impression on me. The wine tasting was fun and educational. The place winds around into tiny rooms, yet each room was buzzing with energy. In one area, there was a crowd engaging in wine tasting. Music and live entertainment was next to it. As I went up the stairs, I noticed some people were lounging in a small room or sitting at tables drinking wine. A large table was full of ladies drinking wine and doing art in the center as servers were busy behind a bar. At the end of the building were the bathroom and a peaceful outdoor area. I plan to revisit this cool little wine place again. Cheers!

    If the service on our first few minutes in the place is any indication...this place is solid.

    Just go here. This is a fun place to drink wine. The decor and ambiance is very well done. A converted bike and surf shop, they gave it a rustic feel with lots of small rooms where you can hang out with friends and have a glass or share a bottle. The inventory of wine is impressive. Tastings are reasonable and pours seem to be pretty generous...but that might be because we were nice. They offer featured flights or make your own flight. They do a bi-weekly painting class called Brushes for Lushes. $35. Plus of course some wine. This looks fun. And then there was the service. The owner, family and a friend were working the night we were here. Just nice people. They have some bottled craft beers and simple but tasty cheese plates. Local or tourist...give it a shot.

    We found this place by accident after having dinner down the street and we're very glad we did. We were greeted by a very nice and knowledgeable bartender who showed us around and explained the concept to us. The place is divided up between reds and whites...Italian and french. .high emd and bargain and has an excellent tasting area. You can buy flights..pours in 3 different sizes as well as bottles We sat at the small bar and ordered 2 different malbecs along with 2 different cabs and pinots. They were served at perfect temps and the pricing was very fair. It's a very cute place too..it looks like a porch complete with rocking chairs. .only all inside. A great experience and will gladly return every time we're in town.

    I love this place because of how multipurpose it is. Want a glass of wine after work? Go relax in the rocking chairs and listen to live music. Want to learn how to taste wine properly? Go to one of their classes. Want to drink while you do something fun? Sign up for one of their events, like wine glass painting or ornament creating. Want to just grab a bottle of wine for a dinner party? They have a large, varied stock for all price ranges and taste preferences. Last night a couple friends and I went and split a bottle of wine purchased from their store, sitting in the chairs and listening to live acoustic guitar. I was also able to pick up a nice bottle of pinot noir for a dinner I have this evening. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable if you have questions, but there's also super handy food-pairing / wine education posters around the shop if you're too shy to ask for help. Finally, they do have some wine-themed homewares and gifts up front if you're doing any birthday or holiday shopping.

    Nice little wine parlor.. Quaint place and relaxing

Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and really elevated the entire experience. Our food was beyond delectable. Highly recommend the Escargot and Steak Tartare. The best I've ever had. We sat on the beautiful wraparound porch. I was delighted that it was a gorgeous December day and enjoyed the warmth of that Florida sunshine. I did peak inside on my way to the spotless restrooms and made note that the interior dining area is stunning as well. I will always opt to sit outside but on a day when the weather is uncooperative I would be just as happy sitting inside this historical gem. I ended my meal with a chocolate croissant that I regrettably did not snap a picture of. That was the perfect ending to this unforgettable meal. I reserve my 5 star ratings for restaurants like this for a reason. So that the great restaurants can shine above the good. Can't wait to go back!

She screamed at me as I tried to open up the refrigerator to get a cooled Sauvignon Blanc, not seeing the aggressive sign it was ONLY for the worker to touch the wine. Then she screamed at my daughter looking at an umbrella. Talk about anger issues! This shop was the exact opposite experience. I was greeted upon walking in, offered assistance to pick out wine and the owner engaged with my daughter. I was so much happier to spend my money here vs Fort Alley. I ended up getting some Italian reds, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and some wines from my Paso Robles in Southern California, one of my favorite wine regions. I was hoping to get some Prosciutto but the shop was all out. The shopkeeper explained there was a rush from customers and she didn't get her regular order in. It was completely understandable. And appreciated her sharing why it wasn't available rather than being dismissive like at the previous wine shop I was at over at Fort Alley. I am so glad I came to this shop. I come to St. Augustine often to visit my family and I'll be back.
