Had a wonderful time, sampled great food and wine and enjoyed the city. Jennifer made our tour all the more fun, Maggie, our driver, was fantastic, and well CHIEF ... he stole the show. read more

See all

This was a fantastic food tour. Rachel was our tour person and she was excellent. The weather was not kind and the roads were flooded so we had to skip one food tasting but she was quick thinking and had us do the Lightner Museum. She knew exactly what to do. We had a great group of 8 people including us. The food was more than enough. Despite the weather, we had a fantastic time, thanks to Rachel! Highly recommend this trip! read more

Night of lights was cool. Not a wine drinker but the over all experience was good. Well organized and the people were very helpful if you need it. Definitely worth doing read more

I have now been on two tasting tours with this company. The first was quite enjoyable, but the second blew me away. I booked a private tour for my sister's bachelorette party. I specified that we would like to indulge in a bit more wine than the first time around and boy did they deliver! We had so many great wines from so many great places around St. Augustine. We also got to enjoy tons of great foods from locally eateries, too! Overall a great experience. I highly recommend booking a private tour and specifying what you hope to get out of your experience, if your group size permits read more

Our wine wasn't good. And worse, our driver, Kurt, was just the worst thing ever. He attempted to be funny but instead was obnoxious. He accosted pedestrians with "do you have any Grey Poupon?" and similar. He knew (or shared) very little about the history we were driving past. The carriage threw a wheel during our trip and his reaction was very strange; he told us he lost a wheel, stopped and jumped off the driver seat, and left us to wonder what in the world would happen. Were we stranded? Did we need to find alternate transit back? Turns out we were fine, but he didn't tell us that, just hopped back up and drove on without letting us know we were okay. "Are we safe?" we ask. "Oh yea! No problem!" Ugh, he was terrible: imagine My Cousin Vinny driving you through the US's oldest town. No. read more

We did the Roadster tour with Corley this past Sunday and it was an awesome experience. The day started rainy but that didn't matter we had the best time, the wine kept flowing and the food was always delicious. Corley is a sweetheart, very knowledgeable of the history and was always making us laugh. When we go back to St Augustine for sure we're doing the Tasting Tours again and recommending to all our friends. Thank you Corley! read more

Honestly, our host was a little awkward and not the best at making conversation. I don't know if he was trying to just let us have our time and do our own thing (it was myself and 5 other friends) or what?! The restaurant selection was really good except dessert- we went to a little coffee/dessert shop. I wasn't impressed with the cannoli and it sort of cheapened the experience for me. The most frustrating part for me is that the second place we went (yummy Greek restaurant) put fresh squeezed lemon on the appetizer and had it in the sauce. The problem was, and I specifically noted when I signed up, that I am [highly] allergic to fresh lemon. As the chef was squeezing the lemons my friends and I were looking around and looking to our host shockingly knowing there was no way I would be able to eat it. The host was completely clueless and didn't even apologize when I made a comment about my allergy. So I'm not sure if he wasn't given the memo or just didn't read it, but it was a pretty major oversight in my opinion. Overall I'm glad I did it (my friends and I are going to have a good time no matter what!)... just wish we had had a better host and not had to deal with the food allergy component. read more

The tasting tours are an incredible way to see, and get to taste a little bit of St Augustine. Corley our guide was great! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and all around a great guide. I strongly suggest you go on the tasting tour, especially if Corley is your guide! read more

We went on the tasting tour carriage ride with Santa last night with my 84 year old mother in law to see The Nights of Lights. The carriage was beautifully decorated and in great shape. We had Santa as our driver and he was so full of holiday cheer! We had Rudolph ( complete with shiny nose ) as our helper. Everything was professionally done and the ride went smoothly. We had a great time. We got to spend enough time by the bridge to view the gorgeous lights. My absolute only complaint was the wine. It was an ok pinot grigio but for the cost of the ride I expected a local, and better quality wine - certainly better than a $10 wine with a twist off top. I highly recommend the tour and we will go on their other tours. We are looking forward to the tasting tour we plan to go on this Spring. read more

Dawn was our host and she was amazing! She welcomed us with historical facts and a glass of Champagne! Each restaurant we stopped at was unique and full of history. The food was delicious and made me want to revisit each restaurant! This is my 3rd time booking the tasting tours. I highly recommend it! read more

We had an excellent corks and forks tour with Donna! We enjoyed all of the restaurants, the food was delicious. Donna was a great guide, was knowledge about the city and made the tour very enjoyable. Would recommend this early in your visit, gives you good information for future dining choices! read more

My sister and I made our maiden voyage last Wednesday on the Corks and Forks Tasting Tours in lovely St. Augustine. Loved it! We visited seven locations of which five were fabulous!! Jennifer, our tour guide was an instant BFF and we had a ball. The wine tasting at the Gifted Cork was amazing. Very generous pours! The food was delicious and the restaurant wait staff were wonderful! The Floridian pub we visited actually opened the place specifically for us! My sis and I are still talking about what a blast we had! I will take everyone who visits on it. I'm hooked. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! read more

once again corley chapman surprises and impresses the gang! newcomers, repeats and old friends had an amazing time !! Be sure to book the red roadster with corley - he will be sure to provide you with an awesome time, amazing service as well great historical facts!! 5stars! read more

Great Tasting Tour with Corley. He was very well informed of history, foods and establishments of the area. While showing us some beautiful historic buildings, he helped us get a feel for the city. Food was great! read more

Total waste of time. We paid for the roadster nights of lights tour. I thought I was paying for a wine tasting as well, after all it is called the tasting tours. I booked it online and even asked me if I was 21 and if my husband was 21 and asked us if we wanted souvenir wine glasses which I paid for when we got to the tour there was no wine and during the ride there was barely any explanation about the sites that we were looking at very very disappointed read more

we did the tasting and wine tour, it was great! We visited 5 different locations all different than the other with a tasting plate and glass of wine at each. Every tour can be different so visit more than once. They utilize about 30 different local and family owned restaurants so options are limitless. it was very relaxing and a fun time. Highly recommend!!! read more

Awesome, awesome, awesome. 6 stops on a horse carriage, wine and food at each. Wine on the carriage, and the guides talk to you while on the carriage about the history of St. Augustine, there is no better way to experience St. Augustine. I will do this tour again and again!!!!! read more

The carriage tour During the Night of Lights was so romantic! The streets were quiet and peaceful because we scheduled our tour after the holidays (January 8). The wine was delicious, our driver was funny and knowledgeable, and WE GOT TO BRING OUR DOG! Rudy (miniature dachsund) also had a great time! read more

Good tour. There were four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Other guests, on the same tour with us, were superb and aided in making the tour a good evening. read more

I expected to ride in a carriage but instead it was a wagon. Be aware of what you may be in. Instead of a romantic ride thru St Augustine with wine it was a wagon ride with one tire blown out and 10 other people. Be aware!! read more

This was our second time taking this tour, this time with a different group of friends. Corley is the best; really knowledgeable and so much fun. He took us to some fabulous places that we would never have known about on our own. We have all been really impressed! Can't wait to go back and try some of these places on our own and look forward to another tour some day soon with Corley. read more

Corley is adorable. He planned a great tour and totally charmed this group of moms. Great food, great wine and a great personality. Took us off the beaten path and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Ask for him. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful tasting tour with Karen. She is very knowledgeable and personable, and shared a St. Augustine history with us. Lots of fun, thanks Karen! read more

Dear sweet baby Jesus, wrapped in swaddling cloths and found in a manger... what a great time! Corley was a great guide, no- Corley was like a friend-buddy we hadn't met yet. He fit right in with our group and interacted with us all on a personal level. The tidbits of knowledge tossed in were great. Each establishment we went to was great. I enjoyed them all being small, independant family/proprietorship places, most of which, we met and would talk with the owners during the tastings. Two directions: 1. Come to St Aug. 2. Have Corley and tasting tours take you around. read more

We took the Corks and Forks tour, and even in the rain Jennifer made it a wonderful experience. The wines were good and the food even better! I would definitely do it again! read more

Perfect way to discover the city! Molly was stellar tour guide! Great restaurants with healthy pours and tasty food! We might have found the places we went with yelp, but felt like "special guests" on tour with Molly. Tour company very accommodating-took six of us at the last minute! read more

My lovely bride and I did the Lovers Romantic tour. We had a fantastic time, the wine was great and Ken made the tour fun and informative. I would definitely recommend Tasting Tours. The staff were friendly and willing to accommodate all extra request. I am very persnickety and rarely give five stars but had no problem chucking five this time. read more

This is a must do! St. Augustine is so beautiful and there is no better way to see it! The food and wine was perfect. Jenn is the best tour guide! read more

We REALLY enjoyed our tour. We were so full afterwards we didn't make it to dinner that night. Aaron was our tour guide and he was full of information about the city. We ate at places we had never tried and we've been coming to St. Augustine for years. We started at Social which was a small bar on Cuna Street. The people who own the place could not have been friendlier and the Sangria was to die for. They also have a nice variety of local beers. The people were extremely nice at all the locations we visited. We ended at the Floridian and we enjoyed the food so much we went back the next day for lunch, It was a GREAT experience and I definitely recommend it. read more

My husband surprised me with a horse drawn carriage tour for our first wedding anniversary today ... I have to say, this was the best!!! Aaron was so informative, we had a great group, and the customer service from start (Ben at the bar) to finish (Ben, our 4 legged tour guide) was stellar!!! read more

I can't rave enough about The Tasting Tours. JoJo, the owner, is fantastic, spunky, and SO much fun. We had a blast with her in their gathering area tasting wine alone. She asked us very thoughtful questions and was able to help us find the PERFECT wine for us to take along with us on the tour itself. Our guide, Aaron, was so personable and knowledgeable of the city. The restaurants, wines, and sites he picked for us were AMAZING and we plan on visiting several of them again. It was the best time either of us have had in ages and would recommend booking with Tasting Tours to anyone and everyone. It wasn't just a tour, it's now a favorite memory. A++++ read more
