Apple Creek Vineyard & Winery

Apple Creek Vineyard and Winery sits in Friedheim, a quiet community in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, where the Ozark foothills create ideal conditions for growing wine grapes. With a 4.4 rating from visitors, the winery has found its audience among those who enjoy a vineyard setting as much as the wine itself. Cape Girardeau County has a growing reputation for small, independently owned wineries that take the craft seriously. This is the kind of place you'd recommend to someone visiting southeast Missouri for the first time.

Apple Creek offers vineyard and winery experiences that go beyond a simple tasting, giving guests a chance to see how grapes move from vine to bottle. Wine tastings let you work through a curated selection of current releases, from dry reds to sweeter fruit-forward whites. The vineyard setting makes it a natural venue for private events like weddings, anniversaries, and corporate gatherings where the scenery does most of the heavy lifting. Wine education opportunities, whether informal conversations with staff or more structured tours, help visitors build a real understanding of Missouri winemaking.

Apple Creek Vineyard and Winery welcomes guests from Friedheim and the broader Cape Girardeau County region. Visitors from Cape Girardeau, Jackson, and neighboring Bollinger County make up a significant portion of the guests, with weekend travelers from St. Louis and Memphis also making the trip.
