Wine tasting in the Cider Barn at Historic Weston Orchard and Vineyard

A winery in a wine town

Weston Earned the Word Historic

This town has been growing grapes on the Missouri River bluffs since the 1800s, and wine is half the reason people drive out here at all. Our vineyard sits right in that tradition, with one difference: we’re the winery with 17,000 apple trees and a peach orchard out the back door.

That’s why the list runs from a dry Norton, Missouri’s own state grape, to wines made of the same peaches, cherries and apples you can pick yourself fifty yards away.

Grown here, made here

Tastings & Cider Flights

Live music plays on fall weekends, and the outdoor seating looks straight down the orchard and vineyard rows. Sip on the patio while the kids hit the play zones, everyone wins.

Taste the legacy

From These Bluffs to Your Glass

The grapes grow a short walk from where you’ll drink them, beside the peaches, cherries and apples that become the fruit wines and ciders. Two generations of the same family tend all of it.
