flagler beachfront winery

My husband and I wanted to take a drive to enjoy the sun and we found this gem. This was just what we wanted! It is directly across from the beach, not crowded, outdoor patio, and a cute set up. The owners are awesome! The wine and cheese board were delicious; I even had a case of wine shipped to my home. I can't wait to go back!

beautiful ocean views, al fresco dining with A nice selection of tapas offerings. Tables are even wine casks! Very laid back atmosphere! Wine tasting that appeals to a variety of palates and tasty wine slushies! I highly recommend this place!

Love the wine slushies! We shared the Winemakers Plate and it was truly wonderful. This place is located right on A1A across from the beach. Surprisingly relaxed with all the beach traffic. You must try it!

We had the best time and will definitely visit regularly! We live in Ormond Beach and found this place riding North on A1A. We are so happy that we stopped. If you are in Flagler Beach you HAVE to go there!!

Always a pleasure to stop at this winery. A beautiful view! Great couple from Ohio have started this winery. They are eager to tell you about their wine and make you feel comfortable. If you are going to the beach, get a pouch of wine...no need for a cork screw. Try a wine slushie for a nice treat.

Went with a group of friends. We had a blast. Place was very nice and wine selection was good. We also got several plates of cheese and bread which were DIVINE!! The artichoke and pesto flatbreads were also yummy. The staff were very attentive and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place without hesitation.

I walked into the Flagler Beachfront Winery after an exhausting day, purely on a recommendation. Once inside, the ambiance was clean and bright, classy yet comfortable, and I was greeted immediately. I was also blown away to learn that I was being greeted, with a smile, by the winemaker himself.Unsure of what I wanted, I sampled one of the craft beers that the winery had on tap, and then I sampled a glass of Merlot. The Merlot hit the spot so I ordered a glass. Then, after learning a bit about how the wine was actually made on-site, I moved out onto the patio to enjoy the scenic view and the warm ocean breeze. This was turning out to be exactly what I needed to decompress.The winemaker, Ken Tarsitano, was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. I was feeling hungry and Ken suggested the perfect tapas board to pair with my Merlot: olives, red pepper, Gorgonzola cheese, prosciutto and a warm baguette. It was the best meal I have had in a while. The food was light, flavorful, creative and a perfect pairing for my mood and drink.As I sat and enjoyed my meal, I noticed that the other patrons were having as much of a pleasant time as I was. Everyone seemed satisfied, relaxed and happy. I couldn’t remember the last time I had been at a restaurant and didn’t notice someone complaining about something. It was as if the Flagler Beachfront Winery were its own paradise, a refuge for the weary soul.I left thanking my lucky stars that I had heeded the recommendation to visit the winery, and more importantly, for the first time in a while I left somewhere thinking: hey, life is good. When was the last time you felt like saying that?Thanks to Ken Tarsitano and the Flagler Beachfront Winery. I’ll be returning as soon as I can.– Dean Stypler

I'm so grateful we found this pleasant and original spot for drinks! Wine, slushies, and beer available. If you are like me and enjoy trying creative presentations of food and drinks go here. It's a great getaway from the tourism of Daytona Beach! I got wine with the age cheese plate then had to get another plate ... So good!

Had a great time on a Monday afternoon tasting wine with Ken the winemaker.He has over 100 acres in Ohio and some of the white wines available to try & buy are from Ohio.The standouts are Ken's reds-his Merlot is soft and ready to drink, the Cab Sauvignon is a more extracted tannic style. The Syrah from California grapes(most of the reds are Sonoma grapes) is outstanding.There are some light whites and for the beach crowd during the summer I can certainly consider the frozen wines(slushy style) the combo of a Florida blueberry wine combined with a Muscadine wine had just the right amount of acid & sweet of offset the huge flavor profile.They serve some munchies to go with your wine.Certainly worth a stop to try their very well made wines and enjoy the view of the ocean across the street.

I had my first visit in December 2014 for the Ugly Sweater Party. My friends and I saw an advertisement for it and decided that it would be a good idea for a Saturday night. Best decision ever! First of all, the owners of this winery (Ken and Kelly) are unbelievably amazing. You will never meet a more genuinely kind couple. On top of that, the location of this place is breathtaking! There are plenty of seats outside right near the ocean. There are also tables inside as well. And you can see the ocean from just about anywhere in this place. The environment is calm and welcoming. A very nice selection of wine, and they were all very tasty. They also have wine slushies (which I wasn't sure about at first), but they are delicious! Not a wine drinker? They also have a selection of beer AND hard cider. Also on the menu are tapas and other food choices. To make it even better, they have daily specials. This winery is well worth a visit!

The bottom line: If you're anywhere in the area (Daytona to St Augs to Palatka) you have to hit this place. The owners run the whole show, for now. They'll have to have help over time, as this place explodes. The details: You know what they say in real estate sales...well this place has it. You are looking at the ocean and A1A sipping wine. Seriously? If you like either, and especially both, this place is perfect. The owners are absolutely the nicest people you'll meet, not surprising since they're from NE Ohio (more on that later).The wine shop is neat, plenty of seating amongst the racks of bottles and other wine-related stuff. Grab a couple of tastes at the bar, then head out with a glass or bottle. There is a discount starting at 6 bottles. They do cool specials all the time too, so watch their Facebook page.Wine is all about personal taste. For my taste, the Tortuga is the red of choice and the unfiltered Chardonnay is the white of choice. If you care to "mix it up a bit" they have slushies and craft beers. You can't go wrong with any of it.The atmosphere is so chill and friendly. They have live music outside. We spent a mid-December Sunday afternoon chasing the sun across the patio in short sleeves and sunglasses...making new friends and sipping wine. The backstory:Ok, so, here I am, in Florida, missing one of the few winter treats during the seemingly interminable winters in NE Ohio (where I lived for 20+ years), a trip to the wineries of the Grand River Valley and Ashtabula. So the wife and I are talking about what to do after church this past Sunday, when she says she heard an ad for a winery in Flagler. I'm dubious. But I like wine and the weather is looking pretty nice. We grab lunch at the Turtle Shack and find the Flagler Beachfront Winery just down the road. Looking over their wine list (still pretty skeptical) I see they source some grapes from their vineyards in Ohio. Say what? I ask, and they proceed to tell me that they own Tarsitano Winery. Smart people on many counts, but the winner is me. I now have my Ohio winery connection, to wines I loved, but right on the beach, only a 40 minute drive away. And I used to drive an hour or more back in Ohio, in possible blizzard conditions. The only sadness...Ken is an excellent chef. He used to make all the meats at Tarsitano in Ohio...but the agreement is no cooking here. Maybe if we all rise up and demand an evening dinner on the shore every so often he'll oblige...

The service was awesome. The prices of the samples were awesome, a mere 50 cents. This is a nice place, but has the typical Florida type wines. I guess I have to admit that after going to Napa wine tours, this was disappointing. I am officially a wine snob! But it maybe fun for a group. Just not our cup of tea, but good try.

Me and wife saw the add about the winery in a local magazine at our motel in Daytona. So the next day we headed to Flagler Beach,not a very far drive on the historical A1A. We got their and was greeted with a smile! They offer samples at a very small cost, then once we decided what we wanted, we enjoyed it over looking the ocean. The slushey wines were GREAT!! We will be back in Feb. THANKS for the great day. Mack+Leslie

The winery is directly on the oceanfront in Flagler Beach,FL. The wine is great. The owners Kelly and Kevin are the friendliest people and offer wonderful hospitality. Thhey have a tapas menu of cheese,meat,baguette plates which are reasonably priced. The cheeses are ones that you can't find in the store. They have added luscious desserts to their menu as well, which are exactly that, luscious. My husband is not much of a wine drinker, the winery offfers several local beers and cocktails. On Fridays and Sundays they have music. The have many other events like full moon celebrations so you can see the full moon over the ocean. This month they are participating in breast cancer awareness month and have some events planned for Wednesdays. Try the wine slushies too, very refreshing!

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful choice of wine & drinks, amazing hospitality - just a one of a kind MUST GO to place!
