Wild Sun Winery & Brewery is located in Hillsboro, Missouri and opened in 2015. This year on October 4, they are celebrating their 10 Year Anniversary!

The winery officially opened as Wild Sun Winery in the Fall of 2015 on a 10-acre estate with a main house dating back to 1870. The parklike setting and multiple levels of patios surrounded by the tranquility of Mother Nature, enhances the experience at the winery.
Wild Sun was started by Mark Baehmann (40+ years in the wine industry) and Ed Wagner (Anheuser-Busch alum, 30+ years in the alcohol industry). Mark & Ed were trying to accomplish the same things independently but recognized the value in joining forces and thus began the journey of Wild Sun. They produce wines for every wine lover and specialize in dry wines. All wines are produced at Wild Sun using such Missouri varietals as Norton, Chambourcin and Vidal but also bring in grapes from Washington state such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay to name a few. The focus is to simply make great wines! We emphasize locally produced, small production, high quality products.
Wild Sun Brewing Company then started the production of beer in 2019. Currently they have 20+ wines and 6 beers.
The Wild Sun Winery & Brewery label represents more than just an eye-catching design; it is made up of the beliefs of its founders. Wild Sun Winery & Brewery represents a foundation of unwavering faith, which is integral to the identity of its owners. Their commitment to this belief is evident in the name of their parent company, Vision 29:11. Which is inspired by Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. ' This sense of purpose motivates their interactions with the world around them.
The name itself, paired with the imagery of the sun, captures attention. This sun is meant to represent God, a power greater than themselves. The owners believe that no matter where the future leads, they will always be humbled by Our Father in Heaven.
