Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation to visit the tasting room?
Walk-ins are generally welcome at most tasting rooms, though calling ahead during busy weekends is a smart move. Holidays and fall harvest season tend to draw larger crowds, so a quick call to (573) 880-3887 can save you a wait.
What types of wine does a Missouri tasting room typically offer?
Missouri wineries commonly produce Norton, Vignoles, Chardonel, and Chambourcin, among other varietals well-suited to the state's climate. You'll also find fruit wines and blends that reflect the creativity of local winemakers.
Can I bring a group for a wine tasting?
Groups are welcome, but larger parties of eight or more usually benefit from calling ahead so the staff can prepare. Some tasting rooms offer private group experiences with guided tastings and reserved seating.
Is Ste. Genevieve worth visiting just for the wine scene?
Absolutely. The town itself is a National Historic Landmark District with French Creole architecture, so combining a wine tasting with a walk through downtown makes for a full day. Many visitors make it a weekend getaway from St. Louis, which is roughly an hour north.
Can I purchase wine to take home after tasting?
Yes, bottles are available for purchase at the tasting room. If you find a wine you love, buying a few bottles directly supports the local producer and ensures you can enjoy it at home.
Are tasting rooms in this area family-friendly or adults only?
Policies vary by location. Many tasting rooms welcome families but require that minors be accompanied by adults, and the focus is clearly on the wine experience. Calling ahead to confirm the specific policy is always a good idea.
