AUGUSTA, Mo. — In honor of National Travel and Tourism Week, Show Me St. Louis and Explore St. Louis have teamed up to bring you the best places to check out.
On that list is America’s 1st AVA – that’s a technical term for ‘1st Wine Country!’ Our road trip took us out to Augusta, Missouri just under an hour West of downtown St. Louis. There we found wineries, boutique shops, a new coffee shop & a new café in restored historic buildings, newly renovated air B&Bs and so much more.
Start your adventure at Mount Pleasant Estates, now part of the Hoffmann Family of Companies. With over 150 years of experience, Mount Pleasant is the oldest winery in Augusta with their original, hand-carved cellars still in use today. From there you can depart on a vineyard tour where you’ll also get to see the Clydesdales on the Hoffmann Farm.
Mount Pleasant Estates also hosts weddings and private events. If you're looking for a perfect venue to host your special day, then visit Mount Pleasant Estates. Their team of event coordinators will help transform your vision into a reality. You can find more information here.
With so much to do and see thanks to the revitalizing efforts of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, we’d suggest making a weekend trip out of your travels! Book a stay at one of the charming locations of the Augusta Guest Collection. Ride the complimentary trolley on Saturdays to Augusta Winery, Balducci Vineyards, Montelle Winery, Mount Pleasant, and the historic, downtown area of Augusta, Missouri. Looking for the perfect date night adventure to follow your day of wine tasting and boutique shopping? Book a dinner cruise on the Miss Augusta yacht!
You can find info on booking vineyard tours, cruises, B&B’s, and all of the activities, including the weekend live music schedules at VisitAugustaMo.com.
