List of Missouri Wineries and Vineyards

Missouri Wineries – German immigrants in the early-to-mid-19th century, founded the wine industry in Missouri.  The result was in its wine corridor being called the Missouri “Rhineland.”  Later Italian immigrants also entered Missouri wine production.  In the mid-1880s, more wine was produced by volume in Missouri than in any other state.  Before prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the nation.  Missouri had the first area recognized as a federally designated American Viticultural Area, with the Augusta AVA acknowledged on June 20, 1980.  There are five AVA districts in Missouri (1) Augusta AVA, (2) Ozark Mountain AVA, (3) Hermann AVA, (4) Ozark Highlands AVA (5) Loess Hills District AVA.  In 2017 125 wineries were operating in Missouri, up from 92 in 2009.  Today, we find 114 after many closed during the COVID pandemic lockdown.  Augusta, Missouri, is one of the most popular regions.  A local real estate investment firm has recently invested in the region, fueling hope for the proper funding to compete with other central wine districts in the US.

German immigrants to the Missouri River valley established vineyards and wineries on both sides of the river.  Hermann, Missouri, settled by Germans in 1837, had ideal conditions to grow grapes for wine.  By 1848 winemakers there produced 10,000 US gallons (37,900) per year, expanding to 100,000 US gallons (378,500) per year by 1856.  Overall, the state produced 2,000,000 US gallons (7,570,800) per year by the 1880s, the most of any state in the nation.  Stone Hill Winery in Hermann became the second largest in the nation (and the third-largest in the world), shipping a million barrels of wine by the 20th century.  Its wines won awards at world fairs in Vienna in 1873 and Philadelphia in 1876.

In the mid-19th century, the phylloxera louse destroyed much of the Vitis vinifera grape crop in Europe, especially in France.  Missouri’s state entomologist, Charles Riley, found that American rootstocks were resistant to the pest.  So he directed sending millions of rootstocks to vineyards worldwide, to which their grape varieties could be grafted.  This saved the French wine industry as well as others.  The city of Montpellier erected statues honoring these events, as well as Riley’s scientific colleague J.É. Planchon.

Before Prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the nation.  However, the new amendment forced the shutdown or abandonment of all wineries except at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant, which was permitted to make sacramental wines.  As a result, the wine industry was destroyed for decades.

The revival of the state’s wine industry started in 1965 with the reopening of Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, followed soon by the opening of Mount Pleasant Winery in Augusta on the north side of the river.  Soon winemakers began to reestablish Missouri vineyards and wineries along the river and throughout the state.

The federal government has recognized the importance of winemaking to regional and national economies.  As a result, the region received the first certification issued by the U.S. government as a distinct American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1972.  This certification recognizes the qualities of soil, climate, and other unique characteristics that help create identifiable wines.  One distinct area was developed on the north side of the Missouri River in southwestern St. Charles County.  The Augusta AVA was recognized in 1980.  The Hermann AVA, on the south side of the river chiefly in Gasconade County, was designated by the federal government in 1983.

Italian, as well as German immigrants, introduced wine production in the Rolla, Missouri, area.  This is now within the Ozark Highlands AVA, designated in 1987 and including several counties, from southern Gasconade County to Texas and Dent counties further south.

All three smaller AVAs are within the Ozark Mountain AVA, a designation covering southern Missouri below the Missouri River, northwestern Arkansas, and northeastern Oklahoma.
