It was amazing how different everything was! They have some tables on the patio, which were perfect to sit and have a few drinks. We adored this spot, I'll definitely stop in every time I'm in town.

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.

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.

At first glance the front exterior is very underwhelming. But, upon entering, the hospitality was so welcoming that I was instantly at ease. Watertower Winery offered us a $5 sampling of 6 wines that included a signature glass (these were perfect 2 oz pours & well worth sampling). We chose a Riesling and headed to the back deck. The deck is quaint and offered a pastoral view. A 60 degree day, sun shining, a nice little winery..made for a perfect day. We will definitely be back!!

We did not go in expecting much since there was a serious lack of reviews. What we found was a small winery/brewery that was beyond adorable. There were two really well kept buildings, the tasting room for wine and the micro-brew pub. We couldn't help trying both. The wine was perhaps a bit sweet for my taste, but it is Missouri wine after all. The beer selection was top-notch and everything was tasty. Prices were extremely reasonable and there was a cute outdoor patio with a wrap-around bench and a fire pit that was very nice. The staff was amazing! We were there on a harvest day, so there were quite a few people wandering around that had been involved in picking the grapes. Everyone was super friendly and had us feeling like family in no time. This review is only four stars and not five because this winery lacked the expansive view of so many others around town.

Going to Meert Tree Farm was a disappointment. I normally wouldn't do a review on something like…read morethis, but this experience is different; mainly because we had to drive an hour to get there, thinking that we'd be able to cut down a tree. We could have gotten a tree within a mile of our home, but thought the experience would be something we would appreciate. Trees were definitely there to cut down, but nearly all of them seemed healthy toward the bottom, but very sparse on top. They looked more like shrubs. There were some that had more of a Christmas Tree form , but were still sparse on top. The picture attached shows some of the trees that weren't that bad, but you can still see the base, then the top just being a bare branch. Because of that we ended up buying a pre-cut frazier fur. When I got back into town, I found that the same trees were out there at Home Depot & Ted Drewes for about 60-70% of the price we paid. Maybe its just skepticism, but it seemed that they probably know that people don't want oddly shaped trees and the markup for pre-cut was outrageous. I saw that the farm was actually on the market to sell, so I was wondering if the trees health hadn't been a priority this past year. We have been in a drought, so that would make sense, althought there were hoses throughout the farm. Anyway, it was a huge waste of time and an overall disappointment so I felt like it may benefit someone else before they go the distance.
