Sitting on a patio soaking in the sunshine and a warm breeze while sipping a glass of award-winning local wine… yeah that sounds like a great way to spend a summer day. Don’t let this Missouri summer slip away without checking these seasonal favorites off your bucket list.

2. Go on a wine trail – There are ten wine trails across the state. Some are hosting special events during the summer, all offer unique experiences. 
3. Become a MO wine MVP – You can earn points that are redeemable for rewards just for visiting local wineries.
