Missouri wine country is full of artists. We celebrate the many artists of the wine industry, from the winemakers, label makers, and chefs who craft amazing and unique culinary experiences.
Art can also be storytelling, and the Missouri wine industry has a rich history with plenty of stories to share.
Check out a few Missouri Wineries that put as much into their artwork as they do the wine!
Adam Puchta Winery - Hermann, Missouri
This label is inspired by one of their winery cats, Ernie. The cat’s meow label is a painting of Ernie, and inside the bottle is a wine just as good! Be sure to visit and try some while visiting with Ernie and his furry friends!
Cave Hollow West Winery - Hannibal, Missouri
This label series is inspired by a Missouri native with one of their wine collections. The Mark Twain Cave series has labels inspired by some of Mark Twain’s work. This series is full of a rich history and can help you learn more about a famous Missourian!
