A group of 8 woo girls who had just paid $80 to​ enter were trying to convince themselves that they weren't just taken advantage of. they were - we all were. The staff all seemed very depressed or anxious - they all seem ashamed of themselves. the thing I liked most about this place was all the Pro freedom/USA signs mixed in with a bunch of signs very angrily telling you what not to do, what not to be, etc. if you like irony and can have fun in a TRULY crappy place, it is totally worth it to come to this place ONCE but I feel like the average person is just looking for good value and good food and good wine. this place has none of that​​. so please listen to your trolley drivers - they are NOT lying or embellishing

Robller is located about 12 minutes west of Washington; you turn south off the highway when you can see the New Haven water tower. Robller is possibly the finest winery in Missouri; all grapes are grown and aged on-site; they are effectively organic, though they are not investing the funding to get the official "organic" certification. Jerry is a fantastic person who brings joy to your day before pouring a single drop of any drink. - - - Robller's site notes: FRENCH INSPIRED. ESTATE GROWN. WINES OF DISTINCTION. all 100% true - - - We wish life offered more frequent opportunities to visit in person and are thankful that Dogwood Liquors (formerly Lucas Liquors) in Ellisville carries Robller's wines. - - - This visit... shorter than planned and absolutely awesome! Late this summer we had a chance to visit in person, to spend a relaxing afternoon there; something I can't remember delayed us, so we would have less than an hour in our visit; I was wishing I had managed our day better. My wonderful wife kept cheerful... soon we pulled into the Washington Schnucks... walking out with some ham from the deli and some newly-discovered gluten-free (GF) crackers... Blue Diamond's cheddar cheese flavored Nut-Thins... rice cracker snacks with almonds... and then we were pulling and walking into Robller. We ended up just standing at the one station at the bar, enjoying sips of multiple wines, enjoying ham and cheddar cheese nut-thin crackers, having a great time and smiling ear to ear. Some of the wines we enjoyed the most are: - Chambourcin Reserve, 2017 - Villa Rouge - Hillside Cuvee - Le Trompier Noir - Wedding Cuvee - Vignoles Even though the time was shorter than planned, time blessedly slowed and felt much longer than it was; we went home with some bottles to enjoy at home, and a couple new glasses, too. We look forward to seeing you soon, Jerry. - - - - - - - - Previous Review Jul 21, 2020 - - - - - - - - FANTASTIC WINE!!! Great team! Lovely views! We learned of Robller Winery a few years ago from Dogwood Liquors (formerly Lukas Liquor). The wine we had was then was incredibly good. We've wanted to go there since then but life just didn't offer enough opportunities. Finally we got to go this fourth of July weekend, to celebrate my wonderful wife's birthday. WOW! I talked with Jerry on the phone earlier in the week to confirm times they were and were not open the holiday weekend. Jerry also gave us a good recommendation on BBQ to get on the drive in (Hazel's Front Porch in Washington, right off Hw 100 on Jefferson. The brisket pairs really well with anything, including the Norton we enjoyed at Robller. The drive off Highway 100 is on a gravel road through a hill or two, ending at the winery, which sits atop a rolling hillside typical of the Missouri River region. Robller has its vines growing on the hills surrounding the winery building. Jerry helped us pick their Norton to have with lunch, and he visited and talked with us, and the other guests (all well separated on the shaded patio. We learned how Jerry / Robller ages the grapes longer than typical, which helps longer-chained tannins grow... those are apparently smoother than the shorter-chained tannins found in many other wines, and this longer aging is what helps Robller Wines be as wonderfully smooth as they are. Jerry also introduced us to the cheese curds they offer from nearby M & T Farms in Owensville... they have nationally ranked cows. I only like cheese on pizza, and brie... and i really liked these cheese curds... they are good on their own and they pair very well with the wine. Thanks to Jerry, we have several wines to enjoy... Norton, Norton blends, Chamborcin, and a special Chamborcin he shared just because it's my wonderful wife's birthday. We enjoyed that Chambourcin with dinner later in the week and it was fantastic, too. Thank you, Jerry!!! Thank you, Jerry, for helping provide a wonderful birthday date afternoon for us! We'll share more about the other wines as we enjoy them!

I also enjoyed a couple tasty handcrafted cocktails. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would return myself.

The owners Don and Jeanne were so hospitable and kind. The tour was by far the best distillery tour I have been on so far (and I've completed the bourbon trail in Kentucky).

Oh, and if you do get a bottle of bourbon be sure to pick up a bar of orange milk chocolate and cherry dark chocolate (made for Copper Mule by Ricky's chocolate shop in Hermann) to pair with your bourbon...the sell them at the distillery.

Planning to purchase a bottle of hibiscus gin and tonic mix, I left with three bottles of gin, two of the hibiscus tonic mix, one corn whiskey, a four-pack of premixed G&TS and Hibhounds in cans, a super-soft t-shirt and one travel-sized PB 8 oz flask, complete with 2 metal shot glasses!

They also had these fun fire games set up where you hit a target and a blast of fire lit up the sky - so cool! All of the drinks were amazing and they had a mug deal where if you bought the mug for $10 you could refill it for $3 - this was just for the party though. Everyone was super nice, even when my friend decided to make a hay angel after tripping in the drink line. It's also fun that Paddle Stop Brewery is across the street so we could choose from cocktails or beer. We kept saying that we felt like we stepped into Hallmark movie, with all the small town charm! This is an annual event and we can't wait to make the stop next year!!
