Wine trails to explore in Missouri

It is surprising to note that the oldest continuously owned and operated winery in the country is not in California’s best-known wine regions, but in Missouri. That winery is Adam Puchta Winery in Hermann and it is one of more than 120 wineries in the state.

In 1984, the Missouri Wine and Grape Board was established to support wineries, which is now a billion dollar business. Eight different trails link these vineyards. You can learn more about Missouri wines on their official website.

Augusta Wine Route

The Augusta Wine Trail in Missouri was designated as the “First Wine District of the United States” in 1980, as the wines were produced here before the Civil War. Ten wineries make up this path. They are all family owned and open all year round.
