Come try one of our Tropical Island drink concoctions along with wine and cider offerings.

Lovely old historical Spanish city with brick streets , cafes and boutiques. My great great uncle , Sebastian Kindelan’s name is on the obelisk in the plaza. He was governor of “ East Florida “ owned by Spain , stationed in Cuba , and saved St. Augustine from British Invasion. ( He smoked a piece pipe with the Seminole Indians and had them on his side )
