Wine & Carriage Ride What a great time!! The Nights of Lights were awesome and it was even better because we got to see the lights on a tasting tour carriage ride! Sadie, our tour guide, and Fred our horse, did a fantastic job taking us around St. Augustine!! Sadie did a great job telling us all about the city and the history! Great stories!! Highly recommend doing the private carriage ride!! We had wine for the entire tour!! Everyone we passed on the trolleys or in the golf carts, kept asking where we got the wine! Do the private carriage tour and get the wine! And the great tour guides!! We will come back to St. Augustine for the Nights of Lights again next year!!
