About Sugar Creek Winery

Sugar Creek Winery is located in Defiance, Missouri, a small community tucked into the wine country corridor between Augusta and St. Charles along the Missouri River. With a 3.5 rating from 73 reviewers, the winery draws both local regulars and visitors exploring the broader Augusta wine trail region. Defiance sits close enough to St. Louis for a relaxed weekend trip, yet feels genuinely removed from the city. The area's creek-fed valleys and forested ridges give Sugar Creek its name and contribute to a setting that feels unhurried and distinctly Midwestern.
