Planning a wedding is such an exciting time. From the sincerity of the ceremony to the fun of the reception and all of the events surrounding, it’s one giant celebration. Whether you are coordinating the shower, the rehearsal dinner or doing it all, Missouri wine country is the perfect destination. Every couple is different and special in their own way, and a unique couple deserves a distinct venue. There are more than 120 wineries in Missouri, each with a one-of-a-kind experience waiting for you.

Whether you are planning one of the smaller ancillary events or the BIG day, Missouri wineries offer a naturally romantic setting with award-winning wines, delicious food and breathtaking scenery.

If you are in charge of planning a soirée for the bachelorette, a shower to prepare the couple for their life together, or a rehearsal dinner, many wineries have space available for an intimate gathering any time of the year. Private tastings and winery tours are fun and creative activities for wedding parties and loved ones.  Or your group can take an adventure along one of Missouri’s nine wine trails and maybe even stay at a bed and breakfast on-site or nearby.

Thinking more about the BIG day? Numerous wineries offer stunning views for an unforgettable ceremony, gourmet fare for a mouthwatering meal and a great space for everyone to celebrate the newlyweds at the reception. If you are lucky enough to live near one of Missouri’s beautiful wineries, it is the perfect location. If not, why not make the wedding a (more accessible) destination affair?

Once the dust has settled from all the wedding excitement, it’s time for what many say is the best part … the Honeymoon! Consider a relaxing, romantic and intimate trip to Missouri wine country. You’ll find serene settings, delicious food and wine, and comfortable accommodations, all in your backyard. You can’t ask for much more.

No matter what you have planned for the wedding weekend and beyond, Missouri wine country will exceed your expectations and help make it more than memorable.
