Adam Puchta Winery

Adam Puchta Winery

The Adam Puchta Winery doesn’t just offer visitors an enticing wine list. This place was originally founded in 1855 by a family of Bavarian immigrants new to the area. It was then reopened in 1990 by some dedicated members of the same family after Prohibition knocked out the local winemaking tradition for a while. In effect, this winery provides a true slice of American history. Their wine has been winning awards ever since they reopened. They’ve now diversified their wine list with things like mead, sparkling wine, and berry wine in addition to all of their old favorites.

Oak Glen Vineyards & Winery

Just east of Hermann, up on a hill overlooking the mighty Mississippi River, you’ll find Oak Glen Vineyards & Winery. Opened in 1997, it has since expanded from its core task of creating wine to also include a music venue and a bed and breakfast. So, you can spend even more time sipping your chardonnay and enjoying the views. Their wine offerings run the gamut from names you’ll recognize, like their full-bodied merlot or sweet Muscato, to the new and exciting, like Moonbeam Melod. This is a white wine blended with peach essence.

Stone Hill Winery

Stone Hill Winery

Stone Hill Winery comprises not one but seven wineries. Each offers its own benefits in terms of the grapes that grow best there. The result, of course, is that Stone Hill grows an impressive number of varieties, which they can then turn into a wine list of stunning diversity. After its establishment in 1847, Stone Hill grew to be the second biggest winery in the United States. Now, the post-Prohibition version of the winery has been cleaning up at national and international competitions since the early 1990s.

Bias Winery & Gruhlke’s Microbrewery

Bias Winery & Gruhlke’s Microbrewery

As Bias Winery asks on their own website, does it get any better than a winery and a microbrewery together in one? A definite no. Bias Winery and Gruhlke’s Microbrewery are both smaller operations. Having them both there means that everyone is satisfied, whether they’re chasing down fruity grape undertones or the bitterest hops. Most of their beers are European-inspired, with much of that inspiration coming from Germany. The landscape of the region is most similar to Germany’s Rhine River Valley and many of the same grape varieties grow well in both places. So, it perhaps makes sense that the best beers produced in those areas would be similar too.

Bias Winery & Gruhlke’s Microbrewery, 3166 Hwy B, Berger, MO, USA, +1 573 834 5475

Bommarito Estate Almond Tree Winery produces only eight types of wine, but two of them have won prestigious awards — that should tell you something about the amount of care that goes into this charming little winery. They’re open on Saturdays and Sundays for tastings and tours, and they really like to be a part of the community. Picnicking on the grounds, for example, is highly encouraged in the summer months. The tasting room feels extra cozy with its big fireplace when it gets too chilly to sit outside.
