Savor More Than 450 Years of Culinary Tradition
On Florida ’ s Historic Coast , sightseeing is just a way to pass the time between meals . The food here is inspired by centuries of the diverse heritage of the peoples who make up our 450-plus years of history — Spanish , British , French , Greek , Irish and Minorcans . In 2019 , Southern Living readers ranked St . Augustine the Number 1 Foodie Town in the South .
You ’ ll find an abundance of fresh seafood and produce from local farms in Hastings and Elkton , which are served at the tables of eclectic bistros , fine-dining establishments , sidewalk cafes , oceanfront restaurants , old Florida riverfront hideaways and quaint farmto-fork eateries .
Make your visit a moveable feast with several local food and wine tours . Cool off with a craft cocktail made with local spirits from the St . Augustine Distillery .
Enjoy a glass of wine and charcuterie board at Casa de Vino 57 as you relax under the stars in the secret garden . Satisfy your cravings at Whetstone Chocolates or Claude ’ s Chocolate .
