Girls Trip in Wine Country

March 07, 2024

Whether you are planning a girl’s weekend or celebrating a bachelorette, Missouri wine country is the perfect place to go! Wine tasting, live music, and delicious food makes for the best time with your closest friends.

TrolleyMissouri wine country offers more than 125 wineries and 9 wine trails to choose from. Many wine lovers spend their weekend on the Hermann Wine Trail or exploring Augusta. Many wine trails offer trolleys as a fun and unique way to travel to each winery. 

Winery’s offer events all year long, ranging from seasonal to annual festivals, tastings and more. Besides wine tasting, there is ample to do such as shopping, listening to live music and enjoying some delicious food. Check out our calendar or trip planners for how to spend your weekend.

Girls’ trips can be more than bachelorette parties too. We asked fellow wine lovers how they spent their weekends with friends and family; “We ate at Stone Hill and other restaurants in Hermann and Washington. We did some shopping at Montelle Winery and downtown Hermann.” Make a trip out of the weekend where you can go wine tasting, shopping and listen to live music.

Weekend trips can also help create memories with those closest to you. One woman said the best experience on the trip was “just being with my sister and daughter”, where another said her favorite experience was “being with my sister having fun sipping and buying wines.”

Spending the weekend in wine country opens so many opportunities to explore the countryside, sip on some wine and eat some delicious food. The best experiences are spent with those closest to you. One woman said the best experience was “the together time of staying in a house, traveling together, and just sitting at the wineries enjoying the ambiance and wine.” When asked if they recommend returning to wine country, one woman said, “yes we come back every year and bring new people who love it just as much.”
