We’re proud to be Missouri’s most awarded winery and consistently rank among the top five medal-winning wineries in the nation.

With Missouri’s distinctive weather patterns and the rich, fertile soil of our region, we are perfectly positioned to produce wines that continually captivate wine lovers from across the globe. This remarkable terroir is the foundation of every bottle we produce, ensuring each one reflects the essence of our land and heritage.
“I was lucky to be born into the wine family. I have worked as a corporate finance consultant, public servant, and instructor at a University teaching and researching entrepreneurship. The best part of working at the winery are the people you work with and meet as you go through each day.
To be able to help create something so fun and then see the joy it brings customers is the best reward possible!"
