Stone Hill Winery
A pioneer in Missouri wine, the Stone Hill Winery is one of the most awarded wineries in the entire state. Founded all the way back in 1847 by German immigrants, this winery continues to operate to this day.
This winery makes a strong case for favoring Missouri wines when they say:
Our American heritage and hybrid grapes are naturally suited to our climate. What's more, they are uniquely American and have the ability to be crafted into excellent wines. Each year, we aim to highlight and champion the character of each varietal. Innovation and creative expression of our grapes allow us to discover the perfect style for every varietal and blend.
This is a great testament to the power of what Missouri wine can be, and it is a reason to consider visiting as many of these wineries as you can. You will experience flavors in this region that you simply cannot enjoy anywhere else.
