St. Francois Winery

I cannot believe how few reviews there are for this charming winery! My husband and I were headed out to the lake and thought we’d stop by whatever nearby winery we could find. We did not go in expecting much since there was a serious lack of reviews.
What we found was a small winery/​brewery that was beyond adorable. There were two really well kept buildings, the tasting room for wine and the micro-​brew pub. We couldn’t help trying both. The wine was perhaps a bit sweet for my taste, but it is Missouri wine after all. The beer selection was top-​notch and everything was tasty. Prices were extremely reasonable and there was a cute outdoor patio with a wrap-​around bench and a fire pit that was very nice.
The staff was amazing! We were there on a harvest day, so there were quite a few people wandering around that had been involved in picking the grapes. Everyone was super friendly and had us feeling like family in no time.
This review is only four stars and not five because this winery lacked the expansive view of so many others around town.

Touched the winery hidden in Park Hills, Missouri. Initially was greeted by an Australian Shepard dog, very sweet and followed us up to the wine tasting room before he took off. As you entered the site, you are greeted by woodsy-​air environment and this one man whom is running tasting bar had a great big smile. Even though we are deaf and use sign language to communicate, he immediately grabbed a piece of paper and pen; he really took the time to ask us questions and was willing to answer any of our questions. He was very deaf-​friendly. At $ 4 for 6 different wine tasting plus a complimetary glass to take home with us, I do think it’s worth it. My one negative experience of all this was the limited selection of wines. However all their wines are based on the grapes they grown in their backyard which is impressive considering the winery is not that old. I would still recommend anyone to go there as part of their winery trail tours in Missouir.
