The building was originally constructed by Henry Flagler, the founder of Standard Oil, in 1923. The 18,000 square foot facility was part of his Florida East Coast Railway buildings.
- A complimentary wine tour and tasting is a part of the experience at the San Sebastian Winery. The tour is self-guided and you can enjoy it at your leisure. You can savor 7 to 8 different wines that will help you narrow down which is your favorite. A short video presentation will help you discover the art of winemaking. Make sure to stop by the wine shop that offers unique accessories for the wine enthusiast and this is where you can choose which wine to take home.
