Hermann Wine Trail

150A Market St, Hermann, MO 65041 · Hermann, MO

Why you should go…

The Hermann Wine Trail is a group of family-owned wineries formed in 2004 by the Hermann Vintners Association, spanning roughly 30 miles along the Missouri River between Hermann and New Haven, Missouri. The trail sits within the Hermann American Viticultural Area, first settled by German immigrants in the mid-1800s for wine grape growing. The association hosts six annual wine and food events through the year, including the Chocolate Wine Trail and Berries & BarBQ Wine Trail weekends.
