Beautiful venue. Spacious building with plenty of seating available. Prices very reasonable and staff super friendly. Food menu has great options from buffalo dip and sweet pickles which we ordered to pizza, salads , chips etc. Wine tastings are available in different oz choices, apparel and souvenirs available for purchase. Private parking. Plenty of seating outside with patio tables included as well. My only complaint was the sun exposure. Umbrellas were tied down due to wind per staff, stated it's a liability to have umbrellas up on windy days. I wish they had another option available for outdoor seating on those days , considering a band was playing but I left early due to being uncomfortable in the heat. This venue was very picturesque and views were amazing. Check website for pricing, menu, events, days and hours of operation. read more

I visited Montelle Winery recently and the atmosphere was definitely the highlight of the trip. The live band was great, the patio was spacious, and the scenic views made for a relaxing winery stop. I also really enjoyed the lemon and blueberry wine slushie along with the buffalo chicken dip and chips both were delicious.The only downside was the service experience. My food order took an unusually long time, and when I finally checked on it, the cashier had forgotten to put the order in. It was also a very hot day, and the patio umbrellas weren't opened because it was "breezy," which made sitting outside pretty uncomfortable in the heat. Overall, the views, music, and drinks made it a memorable stop, but better organization and a little more attention to guest comfort would've made the experience much better. read more

Decided last minute to drive out to Montelle over Memorial Day weekend! We had not been there in a few years ! Upon arrival we were pretty taken by the views. It was a clear day so we could see all around for miles. There weren't many people there yet so we went right in and a few of us decided to do some flights. For us it trended more towards their fruity wines, blackberry, strawberry, a few reserves. We ordered some food. Was hoping for some sort of charcuterie board, but since there was none we ordered a few apps. Baked Brie with fruit compote and jumbo pretzel sticks with cheese and a wonderful mustard. A few in our group ordered burgers. No one ordered any pizza but we have heard the pizza is very good so we will try that next time. Overall, we all enjoyed our food. Wish there was a little bit more choice, but like I said what we did have was just fine. There is a tremendous amount of outdoor seating, and everywhere provides a beautiful view. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. Our wine server was wonderful, very knowledgeable! There was no band that day, but I certainly can imagine when the band is there it adds even more atmosphere to the place. Aside from maybe having a few more menu options and maybe brightening up the deck a bit, it overall was an enjoyable experience and we will be back again! read more

This is probably my 3rd time coming here and really it's just for the views. You can taste wine, 4 for $10, $15 if you want a souvenir glass. There was only 1 that I enjoyed and bought a glass. The staff is ok. We started with one staff person that helped half of our party but she left the other half is us without our 1st pour. The other lady stepped up and she was great. I didn't care for a lot of their wine but the wine slushies are really good though. Sweet but good. The food is OK. Nothing spectacular. We go for the views and I like to find a good dry wine to sip while we enjoy the company of our group. Oh and they usually have a live band playing. I recommend coming spring and fall for the best scenery. Be careful of the bugs though. They also love wine and food. It's not so bad when you come during the fall. read more

If you like a million-dollar view with a fast food vibe, this is the place for you--what a combination, right? We were lured in by the promise of stunning scenery, only to be served a "Baguette" with "dipping sauce" (aka three bucks for a plastic tub of ketchup's distant cousin). It arrived wrapped in a paper sack--like, the kind you get at Walmart when you're buying your week's worth of frozen pizzas, not the kind you'd expect to cradle a semi-respectable meal. No charcuterie board, no plate, not even a napkin, because apparently, they're saving that luxury for the rich folks. But hey, at least they didn't skimp on the $25 bottle of wine--delivered straight from the cellar unrefrigerated in a solo cup(yeah thats right, no wine glasses.) (just how we all like our Chardonnay, right?). They did, however, charge us a couple extra bucks for a KFC-sized bucket of ice to chill it. Classy. Honestly, this place is the culinary equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig: you're paying for the view, not the food. And let's not even talk about the service. Guess they figured if you're gazing out over the water, you're too distracted to notice you're eating like you're at a drive-thru.

This image perfectly encapsulates the whole "luxury meets fast food" fiasco, doesn't it? A bottle of wine that could've used a good chilling (for which you had to pay extra for the bucket of ice--nothing says fine dining like a KFC-sized bucket, am I right?), a baguette wrapped in a paper bag (I'm sorry, is this a rustic artisanal experience or a grocery store trip?), and a side of dipping sauce in a plastic tub. Truly, who needs plates and utensils when you've got scenic views to distract from the fact you're eating out of a bag? Not to mention, the wine itself--unrefrigerated. But hey, as long as you're sitting out there overlooking the countryside, it doesn't matter that you're dining like it's a tailgate party. At least there's the water bottle for some hydration, though you're really going to need it to wash down that... experience. The view is stunning, but the service? Not so much. A million-dollar view with a "fast food meets fine dining" reality check. read more

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. read more

Great view and liked the wine. Need more staff, one person was there taking orders and serving wine. Paid $100 for a bottle of wine, glass of wine, brie and naan and the worst burger I have ever had in my life!! It was a hockey puck on a bun served with a bag of chips. Would rather of spent my money at Defiance Ridge where the food was amazing!! read more

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. read more

Montelle Winery - A beautiful Saturday afternoon - Wineries Near Me - Augusta, Missouri

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Removing all the trees was an incredibly awful decision. Unbearably hot and all the natural beauty is gone.

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! read more

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. read more

Now coming from CA wine country, I understand different regions of the United States have different approaches as well as the wine being served. With that said, for the area and what they bring to the table, I enjoyed my time at Montelle Winery. Montelle leans heavier on fruit wines that are more sweet, but nothing to complain about though! They do also offer non sweet versions, but they did not wow me sadly. Jumping to the facility itself for a second, it is stunning! The back deck with a view of the valley is perfect for the warmer times of the year. We opted to sit outside with some food from their mini food section and sip away the day. We did their standard tasting with a few extra pours, and I was hit with a 50/50 love of their products. While the sweeter fruit wines did nothing for me, some of their other products were quite good. I actually ended up walking away with two bottles, one of the Himmelwein and a Norton red. Their prices are phenomenal compared to what I am used as most of their wines are under $20. Thank goodness I do not live close by as I would be here quite a bit! When it comes to their staff, absolutely lovely and actually sat down with us for awhile since it was a slower day to chat about the area and winery itself. I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Augusta to be honest, great spot. read more

Absolutely gorgeous views on this hillside winery. I did the tasting, which for ten dollars came with a very nice (glass!) souvenir wine glass and 5 pours. And then sat with my friend out on the porches and looked over the beautiful fall foliage while we sipped ice wine (can get by the glass). There are also plenty of snacks and crackers for sale inside to go with your alcohol purchase. Finally, and I doubt this is a common thing they'd do for everyone, but I was especially pleased when they let me have a magnet with Missouri wine and food pairings that I found at the tasting bar, and they didn't seem to have more than the one in stock when I wanted to buy it. Nice touches like that make for loyal customers! read more

We've gone to Montelle's many times, it has been our favorite Winery because of the Views and Food. Unfortunately, the new owners of this Winery cut down all the trees that were a part of the shade canopy on the decks and also cut the trees down at the back of the property that provided not only a unique view of the surrounding area, but also very valuable shade for a bright sunny summer day. That damage has been done and this place could still be a gem but the new owners can't figure out how to equip each table with a useful umbrella that can tilt to filter the blazing rays of the sun. On a hot day in the sun you will feel like you are in the desert. I use to love the pizza's here. I'm not sure, but they seem to be not as good anymore. The wine is just as bad as it has always been, but now is not as cold coming out of the cooler. In Italian there are numerous ways to say goodbye. Addio is the form used when you're not coming back. "Addio Montelle" read more

Beautiful scenery and good wine. We enjoyed a glass of the Blackberry, which was very good. Only thing I think they could improve on is the whole process inside the building. Lines for different things and drinks, no real signage to follow to understand where you need to be. We just wanted to order a glass, no sampling, no food. so I stood in 1 line (no idea if this was the right place to be or not) but the cashier rang me up then sent me to the "bar" (where they were doing tastings) so I had to wait again to be served just the 1 glass of wine. People just seemed to be wondering around aimlessly lost. I feel this could be better but definitely worth the stop just kind of felt like I was cattle being herded though, no real personal touch that we got from other smaller local wineries. read more

This past weekend was the first time I have been back to Montelle since it was bought by the Hoffman family. Huge disappointment. Here is the good...... When you walk up there is the cutest vintage truck that is currently decorated in fall theme. Great for pictures! The inside of the tasting room has not changed at all. Still large and can accommodate large crowds. Oh, and let's not forget the wine slushy hut, yum! And the not so good...... The main building has new exterior paint. Not sure why these colors were selected, not good at all. They have also brought in some "luxury" porta potty's that sit in the parking lot. It was nice not to wait in a line when needing to go. However, the inside bathrooms have not been updated at all. They need to be updated, come on. The big difference is the view. I'm my opinion, Montelle has always had the best view. A few trees provided shade but didn't block the view. All of the trees have been CUT DOWN, no shade. Why were the trees cut down, Horrible decision. Montelle needs to invest in more and/or larger umbrellas since the trees have been removed. The food and food service. I have been coming to Montelle for years and have always loved their food, until this past weekend. We were there for a birthday party so many people got food. #1 the wait for the food was entirely too long. #2 it tasted horrible. I used to crave the pizza at Montelle, not anymore. It looked and tasted like cheap frozen cardboard pizza. My friends had different wraps and said they tasted old. For the wait time we waited, everything should have been fresh. Bring back the old food and quality, it was greatly missed. What is with the prices of the food and wine bottles now. The prices went up but the quality went down. Overall the birthday winery trip was a success. But the food is part of the experience and I feel like it was lacking from what it used to be. And the trees, I miss the trees. There are several other wineries in the area I think it's time to check them out. read more

Sadly, all the trees once providing welcome shade for the deck, are gone. Not an improvement! View isn't improved but sunstroke as a possibility has! What a shame! Decent framing for a photo is lost!

My favorite Missouri winery! The food here is so good--try the pretzel or the pizza! They have live music pretty often! You can see the schedule on their website! The wine here is okay depending on your tastes. I'm not a big Missouri wine person and they don't allow you to bring other wine or food in which is the main downside. But out of all the Missouri wine they have the best I've had so far. They have the best views in Augusta and an amazing deck/patio with umbrellas and covered/screened in seating options. The staff are friendly and the bathrooms and overall facility are very clean! Great for small groups or large groups alike! read more

I have been coming to Montelle for at least a decade, and it used to be my favorite Missouri winery. The decision to cut down every tree at the winery was a huge mistake. Completely changes the ambiance in a terrible way. Good luck having people here in a Missouri summer, much less a nice day in October. Very misguided decision. read more

We showed up at 4:50 PM today and they literally turned their sign from open to close with us standing at the front door. Very disappointed!

We spent a considerable amount of money at the winery yesterday 5/18/18. Spent several hours there. I'll start there. After it rained and became kind of gross out- virtually every patron left. Plus, it was getting close to dinner. Except the two of us. My friend was in from out of town and this was one of her favorite wineries before she moved out of state. Not one single patron there besides us. Not one. Sue the manager was pulling around a landscaping cart nearby. We were standing by the railing fumbling with the camera trying to take a selfie with the gorgeous view. Harder than it seems, and perhaps we dropped an expletive trying to get it right. Sue comes out from behind the bushes. Yes, that's how ridiculous this story is... "You girls better watch your mouths!" Um what? We are ALONE here... and you're offended by a single curse word slipping the lips of your patrons fumbling with a camera? Alone. Cannot stress that enough. My friend went inside to talk to the manager, not knowing the woman who reprimanded us was the manager, to explain that this was not how you treated patrons of your establishment- most especially not when they are alone on the deck... and you're offended by *GASP* a single S word? We went to leave and walked through the tasting room and Sue yelled "BYE!" And started laughing. I get it, you probably get some sloppy ridiculous drunks that act inappropriately, but unfortunately for Sue's desperate desire to puff out her chest and assert authority (for whatever reason) this was not that instance... We called our ride and while we were waiting, we were approached by another employee there and they said that patrons consistently complain about Sue the manager and the owners have asked that they be notified every time there is an instance between Sue and the patrons and/or staff. Wow. That's crazy. Is that how you want your business represented? Unfortunately, one bad apple has indeed ruined the bunch and we won't be returning. We will spend our money at the other wineries in the area from here forward. read more

Great place to taste and have a bottle of great wine. The winery sits high up on a hill and has a great view towards Augusta.

Extra bathrooms out front are pretty nice too. Love their wines. read more
