St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival Moves to New Venue for 2025 Events

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The St. Augustine Food + Wine Festival, recognized by USA Today as a top culinary event in Florida, has a new venue for its signature weekend festival taking place from May 9-11, 2025. This year’s festival will be hosted at Ancient City Farmstead, just 10 minutes from St. Augustine’s historic downtown.

Festival Founder Jan Gourley announced the relocation, stating, “An opportunity recently presented itself to move the festival’s weekend events to Ancient City Farmstead from World Golf Village. By moving the festival this year, we were also able to establish a permanent location for the 2026 and 2027 festivals.”

Gourley emphasized the appeal of the new venue, saying, “It’s a beautiful facility surrounded by 1,500 acres of lush Florida greenery that just opened in December 2024. It is designed with premier wedding and event facilities, parking, a restored farmhouse and barn. A brand-new luxury barn, serving as the festival’s indoor and air-conditioned VIP Lounge, will open in April. We are extremely excited about this venue, location and partnership with Ancient City Farmstead.”

The festival is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, May 7, with various events leading into the weekend. Notable happenings include the signature events on May 9-11, featuring a diverse array of culinary experiences that celebrate Florida’s rich culinary landscape. Specific events include wine tastings, chef collaborations, and special dinner presentations, highlighting local flavors.

This year, the festival is made possible in part by support from local sponsors and partners, who are instrumental in promoting regional cuisine and tourism. For the most current information on festival events, ticketing, and updates, visit the official website and social media channels.
