There’s something about fall in Missouri Wine Country that makes a glass of wine taste just a little bit better. As the leaves begin to turn shades of red, yellow and orange, Missouri’s vineyards and rolling hills transform into one of the most beautiful backdrops. From the blufftop views overlooking the Missouri river to the panoramic lake views at the Lake of the Ozarks, fall is the perfect season to slow down, sip Missouri wine and take in the views. 

You can almost always bet on the fall color typically showing up toward the end of September, with peak colors occurring in mid to late October! Use this fall leaf finder to plan your trip around when the colors will be in peak! 

Grab your favorite sweater, gather your friends and start planning a fall wine country getaway. Here are a few sports where the views are just as memorable as the wine.
