Visit some of Missouri's wineries for a quick day trip
Looking for a weekend day trip? As the weather becomes more agreeable, now is a great time to head to some of St. Charles County’s wineries. We are fortunate to live so close to the famous Missouri wine country.
Many of the wineries offer weekend music and dining. They each have their own characteristics and all are a treat. Check out each winery’s website to learn more.
If wine doesn’t happen to be your cup of tea, ask for a glass of grape juice and enjoy the countryside just the same.
The Little Hills Winery, Shop and Restaurant are located in the city of St. Charles. On historic Main Street, their home has history, character and charm.
