Gasconade County
Located in central Missouri, Gasconade County boasts miles of beautiful Missouri River Valley scenery and fertile farmlands that have placed it as one of the state’s best wine-producing regions. Its county seat Hermann, named one of The Culture Trip’s most beautiful Missouri towns, is a picturesque riverside town brimming with German heritage whose charming 19th-century architecture and lively cultural scene make it a favorite destination for day-trippers. The pretty town is also a great base for exploring the county’s vineyards and wineries — the award-winning Stone Hill Winery and Adam Puchta Winery, Missouri’s oldest farm winery, are just two must-sees for visiting oenophiles.
