Fermentation lunch room
Krystal K.

We lucked into stopping by the River Ridge Winery by chance and what a find! This place is a MUST SEE!!! It's a small, locally owned place. Super cute. We were the first people there and were welcomed graciously and offered a free wine tasting. Our attendant was informative and friendly; she made wine tasting fun and educational. During lunch, the owner came out and introduced himself. We had a lovely conversation about the history of the winery and about wine making. Also, he offered us a tour of the facility after we were done eating! He showed us how the wine was made and invited us to see the vineyards...what an amazing experience! This place is awesome! I will definitely put it on my list of places to visit again. Not only because of how awesome and adorable it was, but also for the people who work there. Can't say enough about this place!

Outbuilding

Pros: -Charming Locale -Intimate Restaurant -Outbuilding with live music -Beautiful patio with crackling fire -Good Wine (in fact, I'd say it's the best Missouri wine I've ever tasted) -Cute Gift Shop Cons: -Hard to find (and the website is more confusing than helpful--pick one address, and make sure it shows up on a GPS!) -Third World Restrooms. If you have the wherewithal to make wine and run a restaurant, you should be able to sort out your plumbing (rural location notwithstanding). Having large, open containers of used toilet paper in the stalls is not only unsanitary, it kills the mood. -Cranky staff (ahem, older woman who works in the tasting room, I'm looking at you). -Stingiest pour I've ever seen in my life. If you want people to buy your wine, make sure they can actually taste it. -Hordes of drunk women with a bachelorette party stumbling around the tasting room chirping "I like sweet wines! I like sweet wines! I WANT SANGRIA!!!!!" -Raunchy gifts in the gift shop (a ring shaped bar of soap called "Weener Kleener"?....what kind of gift shop is this, exactly?) Overall, if I lived in the area, I'd most likely be back.

Just came back from California and decided to take my parents to a winery close by. Let me say we were greeted by one of the owners, Denise. She was warm and charming and we learned about the winery history and lots of wine facts. I can honestly say I liked every single wine they have from dry to sweet! I can now tell my friend in California I am a grown up in the wine world. :) We sat out in the patio area and enjoyed the "made from scratch" desserts with a bottle of Red Pig and a very nice conversation with the chef and baker (Wish I could remember her name!) . Left with a case of wine, 2 glasses for my parents, a fantastic memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!

Last stop on winery tour!

This was our last stop on our SE Missouri winery tour. The selection is enormous! The staff is very friendly, good joke of the day, & risquƩ jokes were hilarious also! Will definitely stop back by if we are in the area again!

We stopped here en route to St Louis as it was only a 10 min turnoff from the interstate. Go down a…read morelovely road, surrounded by trees which reminded me of Tuscany (except these aren't poplar trees) and you come to a collection of buildings on the right. So driving up, it was immediately apparent there was no grapevines in the surrounding fields!!!! Puzzled over this, we asked at the wine rating table (limit of 4 tastings in a plastic cup which you have to reuse) and found out they lost their harvest a couple years back and since then the grapes are grown in other locations and then the wine is made by them with the purchased grapes. Of the 4 I tasted, my preference was for the semi-dry whites with the Edelweiss and the Apple being favorites. I did not care for the fruit ones - found them musty and with a slightly sour aftertaste. To get the food, you order inside, are given a number, have to grab plates and utensils from a back table and the find a seat. We decide to sit on the back porch where the strains of the live band reached our table but not so loud that we couldn't talk. Food wise, our party of 3 split Grilled chicken salad (half-size @ $5) and veggie pizza (large @$17) and rather than paying $4 per glass of Seyval Blanc, just got the bottle for $17. Surprised to note we got charged $1 for glass of water but hey it would be €8 for half a liter bottle in EU so this was way better! Anyway salad was decent as was the think crust veggie pizza. Our crust edge was TOTALLY burnt, which I was disappointed at. Decent food and fun way to while away the time if you are in the area. Note: #293 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

Was pretty cool that the tasting was free, sad we couldn't get glasses from there as the tasting…read morewas out of small plastic cups. But we settled with two bottles to take home instead! The only turn off was the creepy cat on the sign & label. lol but we will be back!
