Preserving History!
A recent road trip took me to the quaint town of Hermann, MO, where I found Stone Hill Winery. The winery, Missouri’s oldest, was established in 1847. Prohibition caused the destruction of equipment and vineyards, but in 1965 it was purchased and restored.
On the National Register of Historic Places
The vineyards used to cover the town!
The cellar tour was like walking back in time. The underground cellars are the largest series in North America and were hand dug over 25 years.
Endless rows of barrels
Original bottles of wine
The original cellar room
History in a bottle!
I hope you are inspired to make your own road trip to Hermann, Missouri!
