Plan Your Trip
Spend a Day in Hermann Wine Country!
Winding through some of the prettiest scenery in Missouri, the Hermann Wine Trail meanders for some 30 miles along the Missouri River between Hermann and New Haven. Nestled along the trail are seven charming family-owned wineries; Adam Puchta Winery, Dierberg Star Lane Tasting Room, G. Husmann Wine Company, Hermannhof Winery, Reserve Cellars, and Röbller Vineyard. Wine Trail vintners sponsor six popular wine-and-food pairing events each year:
- Chocolate Wine Trail, fourth weekend of February
- Farmers’ Table Wine Trail, Saturday in early April
- Wild Bacon Wine Trail, first weekend of May
- Berries & BarBQ Wine Trail, last full weekend of July
- Holiday Fare Wine Trail, third weekend of November
- Say Cheese Wine Trail, second Saturday of December
Whether you’re a wine expert or a novice, a first-time visitor or a regular, the Hermann Wine Trail offers an exciting wine experience like no other.
To help you get ready for your trip, we’ve put together a few tips.
Planning a Winery or Wine Trail Trip
Plan Ahead
Before hitting the road, create a plan, including directions. Check out our winery calendar for individual winery events and live music.
Decide When to Visit
Weekends are the busiest time to visit a winery. If you don’t mind mingling with other guests, then the weekend is the time to go. If you’d rather avoid crowds, consider planning a visit during the week. Check the winery hours on our winery pages.
Do Your Homework
Visit our winery pages for valuable information on the history, wines produced, and winery policies. Winery tasting policies (charge for samples or free sampling), is listed in the Features section on each winery page.

Be sure to include stops at local restaurants, shops, museums, and other Hermann attractions. This is a great way to get a good taste of the local culture.
