Unexpected experience. This winery has a tasting opportunity right in Branson and it's located in a beautiful building. There is a large selection of wines for any taste. From driest white to port. For $5 you can taste 5 wines plus one that was included. If you want to try the port wine you have to pay $10. The portions are usual and you are not rushed in the process. We tried a few reds and one white. It was lovely. Additionally there are some great deals on specific wines. Also look into a coupon where you can get a free Wine glass with the purchase of $20. Enjoy and Salute! read more

I came here around noon on a Saturday. It wasn't busy, and there was only on either group of two there as well. I went with their tasting for a very reasonable $5. I selected about 5 - 6 wines and while they were o.k., but nothing stood out for me. The staff was very helpful and provided additional suggestions, both reds and whites, and allowed me to taste almost all of their wines, but nothing worked for me. All of the whites were too sweet, and the reds weren't bold enough. They have all of their wines available for sale inside, and I loved the look and feel of this winery. I wished I found a glass of wine that I enjoyed so I could have purchased a bottle. Side note, be careful where you park, the lot is on a steep hill, and I had some trouble getting out of my space. read more

The wine tasting was $5 for 5 wines, which was very reasonable. The wines were really good, with the tawny port being my hands down favorite. I wish the wine tender was a little more friendly or informative, but we had a good time anyway. Overall, it's basically a wine shop that offers tasting, but it's not really a place that invites chilling and drinking a glass of wine read more

Drink: Really fun experience!! They let you do 5 tastings for $5 a person of their estate and other wines. The wines were very delicious and even I (wine novice) could taste the different notes of each wine. Our favorites were the Noir, Villagio, and Pink something. Service: The lady who helped us was very fun and knowledgeable. Not too pushy about making us buy wines after but friendly. Experience: fun and clean inside. Only suggestions I would have is have chairs (may be a COVID restriction) and offer food like cheese pairings w the wine (also a COVID restriction) Value: $5 for generous pours of 5 tastings, great value for a fun afternoon. We bought 4 bottles after for under $30- crazy value! Summary: really fun winery with great wines and services. You will not be disappointed w a trip here! read more

Cute little winery with a variety of wines at different price points. $5 for tasting of five wines. Spend $10 on merch and get it back. We picked up a bottle of dry red and another of a decent tawny port. read more

COVID restrictions : Masks required, tasting areas closed for distancing $5 tasting for 5 wines, applied to purchase over $10 Nice selection of wines, reasonably priced with most under $15 a bottle but some over $30 Nice, friendly employees #Recommended #VickieTravelz read more

Five dollars for five wine tastings. They have a buy six wines get six wines free deal going on. They did not honor the yelp discount that was advertised on Yelp which was disappointing. However, the wine was pretty good and it wasn't super busy. We bought the pink Catawba and vignoles read more

This was our last stop of 4 wineries in the area. It had decent reviews so we thought we'd stop and check it out before heading back. There was a $5 charge for the tasting (no big deal) and was waived if you purchased a bottle. They give you pretty much just a sip; different than the first 2 we'd visited. As a wine drinker I definitely think you need a big more than a sip to know if you like a type of wine. I did end up buying a bottle. One thing I wished this place had was a type of "cracker" or something you can have to cleanse your palette between wines. read more

We had seen the signs, "free tasting", every time we drove from the hotel. We checked the hours, and arrived around 5 on a Friday. We entered, expecting to atleast be greeted with something...a word...a smile....a glance. An eye roll, frown, noise...but were absolutely ignored. I walk around a little. There were people around a tasting table. I walked in the back. I noticed the staff frowning, infact they seemed completely to ignore our presence, as if they didn't see us. I know we aren't invisible. The wine selection looked enticing. Beautifully displayed. The tasting table was clean and I would've bought a glass at that moment. I went to the space at the table, expecting to be waited on....and you know the rest of the story. If you want our business, don't ignore us. ...awful. I still feel for this place. If they are that unhappy, how can they stay in business? Yes, I am giving you one star, no stars would be fine with me. Do you realize I would've bought something in your store? But not after being made invisible. I went across the street to Stonehill, ended up in a wonderful tour, and left with more knowledge than I entered. read more

This is now a must-stop while in the Branson area. We'd always hit Stone Hill, but Mt. Pleasant is just down the way and the I enjoyed their wines and the atmosphere. We did the free sampling of 6 wines. The reserve wines could be sampled at $5, and we were informed after the fact, that the fee is waived if you purchase over $25 (that's basically 1 bottle of reserve). Nonetheless, we enjoyed the wines we sampled. Their Norton was outstanding - I was used to the bite and oaky notes of most MO Nortons, but the Mt. Pleasant Norton was smooth and also like a Merlot. And at $9.99/bt we couldn't pass it up! The staff was very friendly. We talked to several people who did the Wine 101 class and they said it was well worth it! Also, the bottling of your own dessert wine (if you like really sweet wines) was a nice feature of the retail location. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had no idea what to expect but was not let down. The food pairing class was a hoot. People from all over brought into a comfortable room that was neatly placed. Darron was our teacher. He was comfortable with the crowd and was knowledgeable of the wines. After a little start off we went sniffing and swishing the wines. Even when people were not sure if they would like a wine Darron talked everyone through it. Some of the wines were not the greatest in my opinion, not a wine snob just don't like everything! At least go try the wines at the bar! read more

The second stop on our self-guided wine tour, it was only ok and the other options we tried were better. Keep in mind, this is only a tasting room - NOT a "winery" with the full 9 yards. We did taste several options, but nothing was fantastic and after a quick go around the store, we left. Service was a bit slow and there wasn't much discourse from the staff on the winery, wines, or anything else. If you have plenty of time, go for it but if you are short, there are better options in town. read more

The gal serving was over the top and made it worth it! The wine welllll us Washingtonlites are not fans of all the sweet. Over all would not return unless you love sweet. read more

It was basic wine tasting nothing special chose 5 for free, but for $5 you can taste the good stuff, plus if you purchased something you received $5 off which is your $5 from the tasting. Wines are much more expensive then Stone Ridge,so just stop by if you have the time. read more

Stooped there Thursday, was already closed even it was still 30 min to closing time. Gave a try again 2 days later, was told last servinv is 30 min before closing. It was 4:25 pm, closing at 5. There was maybe 6 people tasting and we were told we can't be serve bc there's a lots of people. Would never come back! read more

Don't bother going they don't seem to need money and enjoy their own company more than any patrons . Must be a hobby place or a tax dodge than a legitimate business They advertise closing at 6 PM At 4:40. A minimum of $35 American dollars walked in the door 4 people in our group and 3 right behind us. They turned it away saying they quit doing their $5.00 tasting at 4:30. Must be nice in time of COVID not to need business We generally buy at least a couple of bottles after a tasting. but now it can just age longer. read more

Had such an amazing wine tasting experience here! I have never been a big wine drinker and have never found a wine I actually enjoyed. Matt was able to help me out and I ended up leaving with three bottles I actually enjoyed! The staff was extremely friendly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

This wine is Delicious!!! Krystal was a hoot and Gina was sweet. Each wine I tasted was great. I love the Vingoles the most. Harvest white was my second favorite. Nice decor and clean. Will be back! read more

What a unique find in the Ozarks! Lasondra was a delight, enthusiastically educating us on native grape varietals. St. Vincent was our chosen favorite! read more

I liked this place. Only liked. It lacked any wow factor. The 5 dollar tasting was pretty cool and the attendant was pleasant. He let me bottle, cork and seal my own bottle of wine which was cool. None of the wines were really up my alley all a bit dry to me but my mom liked a few so she got some. read more

Rolling into Branson on a Sunday morning after 8 hours on the road, we decided put important things first & stop at a winery ;) My family ended up beating the rush & enjoyed a wine tasting without having to share attention. Buster (very knowledgeable ) was certain that my husband would enjoy the typical wines outside of his comfort zone, and my husband did love them! With a buy one get one free sale, we did by a case, but you also get a discount! The topping on the cake was bottling my very own dessert wine! This experience replaced our previous wine tasting place & this place even ships orders to our state!! read more

This winery is in Branson as well as another location in Augusta (I believe). One of my favorite things about this winery is the make your own dessert wine station. The man (I really should've got his name) pouring samples of the wines was a local chef and was VERY knowledgable about the wines. Not only do they have fantastic wines, but the entire experience was awesome. read more

I have always loved Mount Pleasant Winery ever since touring their vineyard in Augusta. While the Branson location doesn't have a vineyard, I still really enjoyed their tasting room. The room itself is updated, has a huge bar for tasting, and is really clean. In terms of wine, Mount Pleasant serves all kinds, including sweet, semi-sweet, and dry. They also have two ports, sparkling wine, as well as both coconut and almond type drinks that are similar to Bailey's. Their wines vary in price from about $10 all the way to $65. I can't say much about their regular tasting as my husband and I enrolled in the wine 101 class. Since we're staying at Wyndham, we were able to do the class for only $10 a person. Typically, the class is $15 a person. We signed up for the Wednesday class at 2 PM. I was really surprised to find that we were the only 2 people who signed up for the class. Rather than canceling it, we were able to have a private tasting! I can't say enough great things about this class. We were lucky to have Bonnie as our tasting guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very funny. The class itself consists of 2 oz pours of several of their wines and includes a wine glass from Mount Pleasant to keep. Most of the wines are their more expensive ones so I was really impressed with how generous the pours were. The tasting including 2 oz pours of the Brut Imperial, Chambourcin, Highland, Norton, Tawny Port, Rhineland, and their ice wine. All of their wines were paired with either cheese or a Lindt Lindor truffle. We also received a packet of some basics about wine as well as how to pair different wines with food. While all of the wines tasted really good, I'd have to say my favorites were the Tawny Port and the ice wine. The sheer volume of great tasting wine and food, along with a fun tasting guide, made this one of the best (if not the best) tastings I've ever done at a winery. Even if you have to pay full price, this class is such a steal! I can't recommend it enough! If you love wine and you're in Branson, you have to check it out!!! read more

I will totally come here again when in Branson. I am a regular out at Augusta, so I might as well add this one to the mix. They have a cool setup here, unlike Augusta... Well... That came out wrong, but we will leave it, and why is as follows.... Here, in Branson, they offer two wine tasting lists. One is the free list, with most all of the same wines you can taste out in Augusta. Or you can pay $5(which is the norm in Augusta) for their premium taste list. This list had wines on them I had no clue Mount Pleasant produced... Perfect examply is Chardonnay and Chardonnay Estates... They were both rather amazing, with estate leaving more of the buttery-oak effects on my palate. They also offer wine by the glass, where you can walk around and check out the place and drink, or pull up a seat at their bar. After a few glasses, I found myself wondering around the place a little further than one should, and found back rooms that are perfect for parties. As an added bonus, there are paintings from local artists you can purchase off the walls after you have had one too many! read more

We had a group of four of us in Branson for a week. We are patronizing as many local businesses we can. Our second stop today was Mount Pleasant winery in Branson. We walked in and we were "yelled at" by the male employee. He stated they were at capacity and we had to leave. How rude. How are we supposed to know this, no signs stating "full" or "wait outside until called" posted on the door. We patiently waited outside for an opening. As we waited we told 12 other arriving customers to leave and go to Lindwedel winery, where they have better service and are nice to the customers. After waiting 20 minutes we observed a group leave and we entered. We approached the counter and were told to "back off" this has not been cleaned. We backed up and waited for 10 minutes. We tried to engage the male in conversation, he was an ignorant, obnoxious, rude individual. After waiting, the area wasn't cleaned so we left. As we left we told another 4 people to leave because Mount Pleasant isn't a friendly place. We went to another bar and spent our money. After travelling more than 500 miles we were disappointed. Not what we expected and well below our expectations. Maybe a bad day for him, maybe he doesn't like people. Too bad, he's in the wrong business. You can't fix what you don't know. But rest assured we will spread the word about the good and bad places to visit in Branson. Guess which one they are? read more

Pleasant place! Wednesday night there is "live music". The music is alright- mainly some karaoking and a guy playing the guitar. Adds a nice little vibe. I tried the wine sampling. It was great. There are no seats for the wine sampling, which I would highly recommend (there were a lot of people who asked for seating, and only some were accommodated). I didn't know there were any back rooms (from the previous reviews). I ended up buying several bottles of wine. Much fun to be had! It is a relaxed atmosphere. read more

We were late getting into Branson and arrived at this establishment about 20 minutes prior to closing. I wanted 3 things; I wanted a relaxed tasting, a bottle of wine to take with us and third, the possibility of buying a case to ship home to Colorado. My wife and I did receive the tastings but the server was (we could tell) ready to call it a day and close up. He mentioned a rush earlier and as we had just ridden 350 miles on our HDs, we were tired as well. So the tastings were short and sweet (pun here). I notated my preference and asked that these particular wines be shipped (6). The employee informed me he could not ship as it was a Saturday which was understandable but I said I I would pay for them and he could ship them out early next week. Not Monday as it was Memorial Day, so possibly Tuesday. He then told me his boss was the only one that could take the order and do the shipping, so if I called back Tuesday she (the boss) would personally assist me. That did not interest me so I chalked it up to a lost sale on their part. We did buy a bottle to go with sausage and cheese for the evening which was quite good. Had we not been rushed on tastings I would have bumped up a notch, but not sure I could offer a full give stars if this is the customer service they are used to providing; especially with 25 minutes left to close. read more

Went in and tasted five wines. Left and went across the street and tasted theirs before I made my choice of what to buy. The one across the street was nasty!!!! So I went back to Mount Pleasant Winery and bought a case of a wine I liked. Staff was great. The store was very clean and organized. Would definitely go hack. read more

An amazing experience! Very good wines with a wide variety for every taste. Free wine tasting and for a bit more sophisticated palate a $5 tasting. Not to worry, if you spend $20 or more you get the $5 back. Yeah! It was fun comparing the free list to the more expensive wines. If your lucky enough get served wine by Deron you will be in for a treat. He is engaging and knowledgeable of the wines. You will definitely leave satisfied. Deron was great at suggesting what to pair with each wine tasted. Hardest part was choosing which wine to buy. Don't forget to try the Vintage Port. A wonderful experience hope to make it through again. read more

Signed up for the wine / food pairing class. It was very informative and fun. The gentleman running the class was great and funny as hell. He kept everyone engaged. Can't remember his name, but was a former US Marine. Thanks brother. I'm not a wine drinker but learned a lot. Did purchase a bunch of their wines using my 20% off Yelp coupon. The worse part of the whole experience was I got picked as designated driver...didn't get to taste. Cheese was good! read more

I like the idea of this winery BUT we went on a Saturday and they only had one person working the tasting. The lady said that their was a class but instead of having extra help they had one lady working the whole tasting station. Not only that, but she only focused on one side of the tables. We spent $10 and only got one wine and spent $10 for a tasting. So irritated. I will never come back here again. read more

Hmm. Tasting attendant had a rough-around-the-edges bedside manner, and the entire place smelled like cigarettes. Wine was okay. Estate wines were much better, but still just okay. Tasting is $5 each person for 5 wines. Must have ID on counter the whole time. You get your $5 back if you purchase over $20 so that's helpful. Estate norton was worth purchasing. Everything else was lackluster. read more

I spent a total of about 10 minutes here if that's any indication of how lame of a place it is. The outside is beautiful and gets you really excited... "Wow, a classy looking establishment in Branson!!?" Maybe so, but the product and presentation from staff is severely lacking. Upon entering, sidle up to the large tasting bar in the center of the room. Then get an irritated look from the tasting girl as she hands you two glasses without so much as a hello. She'll hand you a piece of paper and explain that you can taste five wines for free as long as they come from the list on the one side... flip it over and you can taste five wines from that side for $5. BUT, you can't do both. Confused yet? Already annoyed at the tacky introduction to Mount Pleasant wines, you'll choose to do the "free side" tasting, even though most of the wines on that side sound like they'll taste like a wine cooler you grab out of the freezer of your local gas station. DON'T WORRY THOUGH, because you'll only get a thimble-full to try, though that's sufficient enough to decide that MP wines just aren't your style. Make sure you put a dollar or two in the tip jar for the mostly-unpleasant employee, and hightail it out of there. read more

Good pours for the 5$ tasting. A fabulous one women show doing all the pours appeasing the guests. Wine was good. I'm a snobby California girl that needed some wine on my vaca. Super impressed. Pricey wines but it's good wine and worth it. read more

Our wine tasting here was short & simple, but great. Left with a couple of bottles, of course. Favorites in our group were the Rhineland, Ten Bucks, and port based dessert wine. Definitely try those if you're so inclined. Stone Hill across the street was really crowded on the day we went to Mount Pleasant, and it's true that you get more of a "tour" there and longer tasting process...but I really prefer the one on one attention as well as the ambiance here. Their wines are incredibly easy to enjoy. Ken was very laid back and friendly and helped us feel at home. I'd definitely come back to try (and buy) more wines in the future. read more

Very friendly staff. Cost $5 to taste which is refunded if you buy $20 worth of wine. We also had a coupon that we got a free wine glass if $20 purchase. We spent the $20 on two bottles of wine was refunded $5 and a wine glass. Not bad read more

Decent wine, really nice service. Tasting fee of $5 is applied against a purchase of $20 or more.

Such a great experience! I just turned 21 so I wanted to go wine tasting with some family. We came here and Matt gave us a wonderful experience! He recommended wine based on how I responded to certain types (turns out I like dry red wine the best!!). He was very kind and considerate. The only negative thing was he was working alone, and there were four other groups he was attending to, so it was a little slow but it wasn't his fault it was so busy. He made my first wine tasting experience super memorable! read more

First, to clarify, both wineries in Branson are essentially outlets if their main wineries near St. Louis. That's where the grapes are grown and the magic happens. I was disappointed to find out that's also where they keep the wine knowledge. That said, I did the premium tasting for $5. I bought a bottle though and got my $5 back (fair enough!) The wines are good, not my fav MO winery, but good. If you're serious about wine, head to Hermann or Augusta, but if you're looking to have a good time for a while, thus us the place. read more
