With a 4.2-star rating across 46 reviews, it's earned a loyal following among Missouri wine drinkers and visitors exploring the wine country west of St. Louis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation to visit the tasting room?
Walk-ins are generally welcome at the tasting room, but calling ahead during busy weekends or fall harvest season is a smart move. Groups of six or more should definitely call in advance to ensure there's enough space and staff available.
What types of wine does Augusta Winery typically pour?
Augusta is located in one of Missouri's premier wine regions, so you'll often find Norton, a native American grape that does exceptionally well in the state, alongside white varieties like Vignoles and Seyval Blanc. Seasonal and limited-release wines show up on the menu throughout the year.
Is there a fee for wine tasting?
Yes, tasting room flights typically come with a small per-person fee that covers a set number of pours. The fee is often waived or applied toward a bottle purchase, so it's worth asking about that policy when you arrive.
Can I bring kids or pets to the winery?
Policies on children and pets vary, so it's best to call ahead at (636) 228-4301 before your visit. Many Missouri wineries are family-friendly, but specific rules around minors in tasting rooms depend on the establishment.
Is Augusta a good destination for a day trip from St. Louis?
Absolutely. Augusta is about 40 miles from downtown St. Louis, making it an easy and popular day trip, especially in fall when the vineyards are at their most scenic. The town itself has a charming historic feel and several wineries within close proximity of each other.
Does the winery offer any private events or group bookings?
Many tasting rooms in Augusta accommodate private groups and special occasions. Contact Augusta Winery directly to ask about availability, group tasting options, and whether they can host private wine events or celebrations.
