Wine. Music. Culinary artistry. The soul of St. Augustine — the pride of St. Johns County.
Wine, music, and culinary artistry
in the heart of the nation's oldest city.
With Our Deepest Gratitude
Thank You,
St. Johns County
The inaugural Sip Out Loud is sold out. Every ticket has been claimed — and it happened because a community showed up, all at once, for its own.
To our sponsors: You stepped forward and placed your belief in our growing artistic and culinary community. Your support speaks volumes about who you are and the organizations you represent. Because of you, the artists and chefs of St. Augustine will be celebrated as they have always deserved to be—on a prominent stage, before a full house, in the heart of the nation's oldest city.
We are so proud to be part of St. Johns County — a place made extraordinary by its people, its makers, and its makers of memories. This is only the first chapter, and it belongs to all of us.
With Gratitude · Our Founding Sponsors & Partners
If you weren't able to join us this time — we'll be honest: you're going to hear about this one. An unforgettable night of wine, music, and culinary artistry that this community will be talking about for a long while. So when Sip Out Loud returns, don't wait. You'll want to be in the room.
What to Expect
An Invitation
Into Our Home
Sip Out Loud is designed to be a relaxed, fun, and memorable evening. Think of it as being invited to our home for an incredible celebration of wine, food, music, and community.
Throughout the evening, you'll explore four wine stations featuring generous pours from exceptional wineries. You'll have the opportunity to meet and talk with knowledgeable wine enthusiasts, industry professionals, and special guest Marta Rich, Proprietress of Talisman Wines, who will be sharing the stories behind her acclaimed wines.
Scattered throughout our beautiful courtyard, an outstanding lineup of local restaurants will be serving abundant tasting portions, creating a progressive dining experience that is substantial enough to serve as dinner — with additional culinary partners to be announced as we work to confirm more of the best culinary talent St. Johns County has to offer. There is no rush — wander from station to station, enjoy conversations, discover new wines, and savor exceptional cuisine at your own pace.
Live music will fill the courtyard throughout the evening, creating the perfect backdrop as you eat, drink, and celebrate. Sip Out Loud takes place from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and when the evening concludes, you're just steps away from the Sing Out Loud Singer-Songwriter Festival, making it easy to continue the celebration.
Our goal is simple: to create an unforgettable evening where great wine, outstanding food, live music, local art, and wonderful people come together. We hope you'll relax, make new friends, discover remarkable wines, and leave with memories that will last long after the final glass is poured.
Sing. Sip. Taste. Belong.
Four wine stations. Five acclaimed local restaurants.
One unforgettable evening.
The Experience
More Than a Tasting.
A Celebration of Place.
Sip Out Loud is not simply a wine tasting. It is an immersive hospitality and cultural experience that connects wine, music, culinary storytelling, local craft beverages, visual arts, and community identity — rooted in the character of St. Augustine and built to elevate the cultural brand of all of St. Johns County.
"Exceptional wine, food, music, and art each tell a story — and St. Augustine, as the cultural heart of St. Johns County, is the perfect place to begin telling that story together."
Rather than focusing on volume, Sip Out Loud emphasizes authenticity, storytelling, quality, and personal connection. Every element is intended to reflect the creativity, culture, and hospitality that define St. Johns County.
The experience is designed to feel sophisticated yet approachable — an intimate and refined environment where guests enjoy exceptional wines, curated culinary pairings, live singer-songwriter performances, local art, and direct interaction with the people behind each experience.

Every Ticket
Is Claimed
Sip Out Loud was an intimate evening by design — just 70 tickets to the public — and it sold out. With this caliber of wine, food, music, and artistry, we knew it would go fast. It did. To everyone who claimed a ticket: thank you, and see you on September 24th.
The true cost of this evening far exceeds the price of admission — made possible by our founding sponsors, so this community could experience it together.
What to Wear
September evenings in Florida are warm, so dress comfortably — relaxed resort casual is perfect, and shorts are absolutely welcome. A nice shirt or blouse with slacks, khakis, shorts, or a casual dress is ideal.
