    Picking My Flight
    Steven B.

    If you're doing a road trip to COMO or KCY, you've got to stop at Wood Hat Spirts. It's a great way to stretch your legs, take a break from the car and taste some amazing bourbon. WHS is just off I-70, so it makes the stop easy to do. My cousins who I was traveling with to COMO, said I had to make the stop and experience Wood Hat. I'm glad they introduced to me to this MO distillery. It's a small and compact place, that has a rustic and dive atmosphere. I thought it was quite charming. The young lady who served us out flights of bourbon (5 for $5) was friendly and very knowledgeable. She explained the differences in our choices and shared with us their selection of local corns and how they are grown. My cousins bought a bottle of bourbon and I got a bottle of WHS made honey. I am a big fan and eater of local honey and theirs is made in bourbon barrels, so I had to have a bottle. This now will be a regular stop for me when traveling I-70 and I want you to stop by, too. After you do, it will be a regular stop for you as well.

    We had driven by this distillery for years, never with time to stop. Right off the interstate, we finally had an extra day to stop and smell the roses (or drink the bourbon in this case). So glad we did! Wood Hat is a smaller distillery and so we called the day before to verify the time they would open, and they said "what time do you want to come? We'll open then"! When we arrived we were offered a tasting, 5 for $5. Between the two of us we shared so we could each try 10 of their products - almost all of them. We really appreciated the unique taste of different corns they use - not something you get at most distilleries. During our tasting, both the owner and distiller were present and happy to answer all of our questions. We walked away with a few bottles and will definitely make the stop next time we drive by!

    LThe staff was so nice friendly and they do it all old school by hand!!

    We really enjoyed our visit and your. We learned so much from Gary. We could have spent the entire day learning about the whiskey making process. The tasting was great and I really like the cordials. Highly recommend.

    Ryan was very nice, knowledgeable and even let us in after closing since we were out of town. My husband enjoyed essentially all of it. I particularly enjoyed the cordials. We walked away with three bottles so yes you should go!

    It was very interesting how they use, yellow corn, red corn, and blue corn to get different products.

    The Fernweh Distilling Company was CLOSED on the day of our visit to Herman and we only got to see…read morethe exterior of the building. I would like to return on a day when it's open (AVOID MONDAY and TUESDAY) to try their restaurant.

    I've been to Hermann about 5 times now. We've always missed out on eating here and I was so excited…read morewe were going to finally get to try it out. We had a party of 12 and we were told we'd be sat at different tables, no big deal. 8 of our party went to one table and the other 4 sat at a table catty corner to our party. We had separate waiters which I think was maybe their first mistake. Both tables ordered drinks and appetizers that came fast and were delicious....then things quickly fell apart. We were one of the first few tables seated. Our other parties tables food came out and us 4 at the other table was still waiting. We continued to wait while every table that came in after us starts getting their meals. Finally the table behind us that came in 30 min after us got their meals, we asked the waitress if she could check on our food? She came back and said it was "being plated." We wait a solid 30 more min and by this time our other parties table had eaten and were paying and we still did not have our food. Asked the waitress again who said they were waiting on mashed potatoes. We got up to check with the manager who was bartending who never once apologized or stopped to check on what was going on and only said "we got swamped." Which was a crazy excuse considering we were one of the first tables to order. Since the manager refused to help at all we talked to the hostess who was seating people and may have been the asst manager. She checked on our food and told us "there was a problem with the pesto." When our food came out my daughter mushroom and Swiss burger was charred to a crisp and hard. Finally the assistant manager took our meals off of our tickets. It was a frustrating experience for our first visit there and didn't leave a great impression. The food (minus my daughter's burger) and drinks were really good. I'm not sure where the disconnect happened but the managers poor excuse and the way he completely ignored us and the situation was pretty poor customer service. We come to Hermann every year and this year had brought people who had never been before. Sad they didn't get an enjoyable experience and my daughter didn't even get a meal.

    Several years ago, while visiting in Kansas City, I ordered a Hibiscus Gin & Tonic at Jack Stack…read moreBarbecue. I feel in love with the drink and discovered Pinckney Bend. Sadly, however, I could not order any to ship home to California. A return visit to Missouri was planned and a road trip to The Hermann Wine Trail area was mapped out. Our first stop? Pinckney Bend in New Haven, of course! 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! Oh yeah, they also sell drinks of the patio for a whopping $5! Support this local business and tell them Pat sent you! Cheers

    Made a stop after hitting the wineries to attend their anniversary party and it was so much fun!…read more The distillery, located in New Haven, is nestled between the railroad tracks and the river and both were more than adorable! There were special tastings inside and outside they had fire pits, bales of hay to sit on, fried food on sticks, live music and spiked warm/ cold drinks! 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!!
