Our grapes

Grapes worth knowing

We grow American heritage and hybrid grapes that are suited to Missouri’s climate. They are hardier and more disease resistant than European varieties, which lets us farm with a lighter hand, and they make wines you won’t find anywhere else. The names may be new to you. The wines are worth getting to know.
