    Lovely view from the patio! My friend and I tried the rosé a semi-sweet white wine - each glass is $8. Wine was good and the space is very welcoming.

    We had a really nice visit a couple months ago, having a relaxing afternoon sipping wine and snacking on some food. It had been a while since I've been to Montelle. Like many others, I missed the trees that provided shade. We were lucky enough to get a table with an umbrella (not all of them had one. Not great for Missouri summers), but we had to keep shifting to avoid the sun. All the food and wine we sampled were really good, plenty of variety to choose from. We had a cheese pizza, the Brie, and spinach dip. The entertainment was a two-man band who played so many great songs. My final thought is that there could be a sign or two as you drive up the road to the main building, just letting people know they are heading in the right direction.

    A beautiful Saturday afternoon

    We've been here a few times and enjoyed our experience each time. It's situated high up in the hills and has an absolutely exquisite view of the Missouri River valley. There are plenty of outside tables that take advantage of the views. Sometimes tables can be hard to find on busy weekend afternoons. There's usually some sort of live music that's suited to nearly every taste. I appreciate that they don't play it so loud you can't hear yourself think. The prices are definitely reasonable, compared to other places. We got a bottle of the Vignoles, a package of crackers, and cheese spread for about $24, which included the wine glasses (no deposit required). I think I may have been charged the wrong price on the wine though (listed at $24, but I think she gave me the $16 price marked on other wines). Either way, still a decent price. They do have a small variety of charcuterie items in the fridge for purchase. They have a menu and full kitchen as well (I've never had the kitchen food). It's located kind of in the middle of nowhere, way down highway 94, but it's worth a Sunday drive.

    Still a favorite go-to, 7-8 years later! Weekends can be packed, but there's plenty of space & seating. Weekdays are nice & quite, sometimes that's my favorite spontaneous time to go; not many wineries are open weekdays like Montelle is! Just recently discovered I can come here during the week, they're open til 6. It's a nice surprise when you have nothing else to do & you're off on a Monday. My boyfriend who doesn't drink says he is into wineries now. The experience is what has made it great here, and of course the view!

    Fantastic late Spring weather + Saturday = mandatory trip to the wineries! Montelle is one of our best regional wineries. They have some of the better, locally grown and blended wines of our region from some excellent Norton, Chambourcin and Vignoles. Sure, these aren't the wines from the grapes of California, Tuscany or France, but these are as good as you can get for what you can grow in Missouri soil. Service at the tasting counter is very good. Our tasting was handled by an experienced, fun and engaging professional. She guided us through our tasting and made the experience worthwhile. The service at the food counter was okay - nothing great and nothing bad... quick, efficient and that's all we needed. Our food was pretty stellar. We enjoyed the following: - margherita pizza: STL style crust, tasty sauce and the balsamic glaze made this a good option - Italian trio: this was very good and one that we went back and ordered a second - Famous jumbo charcuterie pretzel - all the items on this place were tasty and a great sharing option. Would have liked a variety of cheeses. I think it was just a cheddar on ours. The views at their winery are arguably the best in Augusta. Truly breathtaking. The live music made it really enjoyable and gave it a great vibe. Sadly, they had to remove some of the large trees a few years ago, so that is a sad loss. Arriving early allowed us to put a lock in a shaded table. Overall rating 3.9

    Just chillin. My FAVORITE Fall wine glass ALWAYS makes an appearance.

    STILL one of my favorite wineries because I LOVE their wine. Their Himmelswein is ALWAYS my go to. I order food and find my spot to post up. I come here at least once a year. Staff are always friendly. Sometimes I make it more often. Most times I come alone on my birthday and use it as an opportunity to reflect over the past year. Looking out at the views and just thinking and being grateful. Another trip to Montelle and year in the books.

    When we stay in Washington, Missouri, our winery hopping itinerary goes: (1) Montelle Winery, (2) Augusta Winery Tasting Room, (3) Noboleis Vineyards, (4) Balducci Vineyards and (5) Blumenhof Winery. Starting off our day at Montelle. Montelle is possibly my favorite winery in the Augusta Missouri area for their ambiance. Their standing tasting bar meets an extra large patio area that looks over stunning views. We typically start at their tasting bar and then purchase a glass of wine to take onto the patio to enjoy their live music. In my opinion, they usually have the best live music of the day. They also have a great food menu with shareable snacks. We often see a private party - such as a Bridal Shower - while we are there, as well as couples dancing to the live music. Highly recommend this winery stop if you're in the area!

    Decks on the hills provide a wonderful view as well as a nice breeze.

    Montelle Winery is a beautiful hilltop winery from the large black entrance gate to the breathtaking views of the Missouri River Valley. Since we had just left Defiance Ridge Winery, we just enjoyed the views of the rolling hills and spectacular decks overlooking the valley below. The attached decks are perfect for cocktail hour. They offer a large number of musical and other types of events on the Terrance. I've attached the schedule under photos for September through November 2023. The Tasting Room is open all year long, and the Parliament Room is climate controlled, has its own restrooms, an attached deck with a gorgeous view, and a fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere. Located off the main tasting room, it's easy to order a bottle of wine, grab a bite to eat at Klondike Cafe, and still be able to have a great day regardless of the time of year or the weather conditions. The Parliament Room is perfect year round for events and can host up to 100 people. So many types of events would be a success at the winery. I'm happy we had the opportunity to check out Montelle Winery. I look forward to returning soon.

    This winery is on top of a hill and has a gorgeous view of the surrounding trees and land. When you enter the building, there is a tasting bar, then behind it is the check out counter. The whole process of paying and ordering was a little confusing but we eventually figured it out. At the checkout counter you can place your food order, pay for wine samples, and buy bottles of wine (and other drinks they have in upright coolers behind the checkout area). They have chilled bottles of wine if you are wanting to drink them there, and they also have non chilled ones if you are getting them to go. For the food, they give you a buzzer, and then you go to the pick up window the pick it up when it is ready. Ours took about 30 minutes. There are glasses at the check out to use to drink your wine from. I had to ask about them, the cashier did not offer them to me. Also at the check out counter you can pay for samples, then you take your receipt to the sample bar and show them and they will give your samples. It's 10 dollars for 4 samples. There are lots of seats out on their decks. They have limited covered seating. The views are gorgeous. Once you get your food and wine you go find a seat. Seats are just first come first serve. Just look for an open one or look for people that are about to leave. We brought our wine out to the table and wondered why we didn't get one of those ice bucket to keep the wine chilled. Later we saw that another table got them from somewhere inside and found out they were 2.50 a piece. As for food, I got the house salad and we got 2 of the baked brie for the table. We also got the jumbo pretzel that had cheese cubes, grapes and salami in the inner open sections of the pretzel. Everyone at the table also ordered sandwiches and salads for themselves. It was definitely enough food for a group of 7 (too much! Lol) I loved the baked Brie and the jumbo pretzel dipped in the cheese was soooo good! There were a lot of bees and my friends boyfriend got stung! They would not leave us alone! If you have food, you will have bees visiting your table.

    Beautiful views and lovely patio area! Just too commercialized and I didn't care for most of the wines. There was one dry white wine we did enjoy though!

    Montelle is such a fun and scenic winery to visit! Their very large deck area boasts a beautiful view of rolling hills and trees. Because the decks are built around trees, you get to enjoy some natural shades. However, if you do end up sitting where there are no trees to provide you with the shade, they do have some oversized umbrellas. Their tasting is $5 and you get to choose 5 different wines from their selection. The bottle prices are on par with mid-priced wines from the store. They have some food you can order ranging from salads to small appetizer types to sandwiches/wraps and pizzas. I have had their trip pizza during both visits. It's really tasty so I did not think to venture to other menu items the next time we went. Because if "it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Am I right? Their food items might be slightly on the higher end price-wise but if you're already there and you're hungry, you might as well. I am generally a dry wine person and only reds but during the tasting, I found some whites they have that were actually good. I ended up buying a case and splitting it with my friend during our first visit. I'm surprised to have found some whites that aren't sickeningly sweet like how I find Missouri wines to be. This place is definitely worth a visit and they comply with COVID regulations, clean and sanitize spaces well, and even give you your glass to keep if you do the tasting! What more could you ask for?! So go, pay them a visit and drink a glass for me!

    If you are looking for the perfect place to sip in all the fall feels, you MUST head to Montelle Winery. Perched atop what must be the tallest mountain in Missouri, Montelle Winery offers sweeping views of Augusta wine country. I was absolutely in love with the ambiance. You can see for miles, and I can only imagine how incredible the views are with all of the changing leaves. Their patio was absolutely built as a destination. The wood structure wraps around the tasting room, built into the hillside. During our visit they had a guitar player strumming some chill vibes. It really made for an enjoyable afternoon. The actual tasting room at Montelle Winery is a tad dated, featuring artwork on the ceiling and counters that I think my parents had in the 90's. But it oddly worked and made you feel like you were hanging out at a friend's house. There were keepsakes, and wine apparel all over the place for you to purchase. Montelle Winery also had tons of snacks available for purchase as well as some warm food cooked on site. The pizza smelled yummy. Speaking of yummy, the wine! Montelle Winery did a great job of curating a menu of wines that were delightfully drinkable. We tasted a few wines inside before going outside to drink a full glass. My boyfriend's favorite was Himmelswein. I like the River Country Red blend. It was fruity without losing too much of that wine bite. Not quite as dry as I'm used to but delicious none the less! If you're looking for a mini-getaway from the hecticness of city living, Montelle Winery offers the perfect backdrop for a relaxing afternoon.

    The Montelle Winery is all about good fun, with gorgeous tree-lined vistas along the Augusta countryside. From food and music to the beautiful decks, the winery has an incredibly relaxing vibe and is our favorite in the entire region.

    Does anyone know if they are taking covid-19 safety precautions? In reviews people are complaining that they haven't in the last month or so, so I want to know if anyone has been recently and saw any changes?

    I was there last week. The staff wore masks, but not all of them were worn correctly. They were not offering any tastings. You would buy your wine and food inside then go to sit outside. They had signs posted outside instructing social distancing… Read more

The ladies working at the counter inside were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We didn't get anything to eat, but I noticed they have a fridge full of ingredients for sale to make your own charcuterie board, such as cheeses, meats, and crackers. I would love to try their wine flight next time I visit! We absolutely loved the beautiful covered patio area. The surrounding views aren't necessarily anything special, but the grapevines above definitely make up for it! There's plenty of seating options for small and large groups. We also enjoyed their live music. When we were ready to move onto our next stop, the trolley shuttle picked us up right outside the entrance of Augusta Winery.

The atmosphere was light and fun with many people at the bar or browsing. They appeared to have a nice selection of wine as far as an occasional wine drinker could tell. Service was wonderful and the staff were friendly, knowledge and professional. The interior has a rustic, comtempory vibe with a large u-shaped bar. The sample line was busy and the bar seats were almost full too. High top cocktail tables were scattered throughout. There is a refrigerated case filled with all types of cheeses and meats for a nice picnic or Charcuterie board at home. It's helpful having two entrances into the building. It cuts down on the congestion and it quickens the turnover. The side entrance opens up to a beautiful view of Mount Pleasant Estates. Everthing on the grounds is pristine including the stunning statues of a mare and colt. They have an excellent map of everything on the estate and the map is extremely legible. Today, they were set up for an outdoor wedding with a gorgeous view of the hillside. The white arbor and chairs were attractive even without guests against the green grass and the lovely landscaping with the sun starting to set. If you are touring winery's, add Augusta Winery to your list. They have several Winery in Augusta. Maybe plan to take the cruise of the Mississippi River before or after the cruise. Augusta is an adorable little, cozy town.

You can get a flight of wines for $5 or a glass of wine or a pint of beer for $5 each. You can even do a tour and tasting for $10. Plus, all the bottles are pretty much under $25. And they have quite a large variety of whites, reds, and roses too. Cindy, one of the owners, is so very friendly and helpful.
