We had a lovely afternoon at Chateau Sainte Genevieve. It was a new-to-us winery (they have been…read moreopen just shy of a year). Boy were we happy we stopped by! The grounds are lovely, with vineyards surrounding the modern buildings and wrap-around patio area. We were able to try all of their wines at no charge prior to buying our wine for the patio. The wine was excellent, mostly French-style dry whites. Some of the grapes are grown elsewhere, which as in California, as their vineyards are still maturing. They do produce all of their wines. The service was excellent, both friendly and knowledgeable. Other details: Plenty of on-site parking. It is a smoke-free facility. No pets allowed. You can bring your own food.

We stopped by on our way to Postcard Cabins. I'm so glad we did! The place is clean, spacious and…read moremodern. A+ for gender neutral bathrooms in the restroom area. Bathrooms are large and clean and are fully enclosed rooms. The staff were friendly with great recommendations for wine and things to do around the area. I suggest bringing a picnic and games. We bought snacks at the market and opened a bottle on the patio. They corked what we didn't finish. Music plays on the speaker making the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the space. I do not usually like many Missouri wines. Wine tasting is usually for fun since I miss tasting trips in California. They had a couple whites that we really liked so that was a bonus! We gladly bought a bottle to share. The cost was minimal. We are already looking forward to our next visit. It's worth the drive from St Louis to spend the afternoon.

Four Brothers popped up on his search as one of the top meaderies. Neither of us have ever had mead before, so Four Brothers it was! We were greeted right away, and our server encouraged us to try the flight to start. Listen, DELICIOUS!! Apparently Four Brothers has won awards on the national and have also competed at the international level. One of the owners wives popped over and told us about their whole process in creating their flavors. If you ever get the chance to pass through town, definitely make a stop. Mead is probably my new favorite alcoholic beverage now. So good!! The four owners are also veterans who do a lot in their community to support veterans. Thank you for your service Four Brothers!

I have to admit.... Even though the tast was good.... They just did not have a Wow factor. Both are drinks look the same even though they are 2 different ones. The only way to tell the difference is the Cherry in the Cherry Sour! I did get a Samoa cookie for my Samoa drink. The good thing is these drinks are very very reasonable prices for specialty cocktails.

Spacious patio, charming interior and a variety of beer and mixed drinks to please every palate. You can even bring in food from local restaurants and enjoy with a pint of beer.

I love trying new things, its nice to do so with no pressure. The vibes are nothing like anything in Jeffco and the back deck would be great for a shower or party. The prices are low for the quality and creativity of the beverages. The place is definitely accessible for all & the bathrooms are so cute! Its amazing to have a community space that is open so late for the area. 12am on weekends is almost unheard of anymore. My friends love it and can't wait for more events to show up to the space. I really hope this place catches on really turns into the community hub we so desperately need. Food is pending until 2026. They do encourage bringing snacks or carry out. They are walking distance from Cheesesteaks, The Corner Cup, Pine Mountain, Gordon's Stoplight, they have Pogalino's carry out menus on the bar. They also, have chip & popcorn selection.

This place started out as a house that they bought at an auction to get away from the city and fish on the weekends. Poor Michelle and Kathy can't even tell you the last time they got to go fishing. This place evolved more out of necessity. Two sisters bought the place and slowly turned it into a tasting room. At first they only focused on Illinois wines, and they still only have Illinois wines. Next they added micro brews. Yesterday they had 8 different beers on tap, plus bottles of domestic beers. The food menu is limited, because they don't really have an industrial sized kitchen. They offer a cheese plate, which is very tasty. Yesterday I had the bruschetta, OMG delicious and bonus the tomatoes were grown in their own garden at the Courtyard. They have expanded the courtyard and added a room (which was originally an old barn) Next season they are going to start making their own wines. This place is nestled right on the Kaskaskia River. They are only open on the weekends Friday night through Sunday night. This time of the year, they have a fire pit going, and this is free of charge. The locals bring then wood. You will enter as a stranger but leave as a friend. This is must see place.
