In addition to Construction updates, Garten News will begin focusing on different aspects of the Tasting Room and Vineyards. In each issue, we’ll highlight a few features, so you can learn more about Weingarten Vineyard!
The Essence of Weingarten
Weingarten Vineyard is aptly named after the small town of Weingarten, which lies one mile east of the vineyard in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri.
Embracing the German ancestry of the community along with Missouri’s vast history of German winemakers, Weingarten Vineyard revitalizes times past in the spirit of the Renaissance Era. This period of revival in “Old World” Europe witnessed a great renewal in art, literature, and learning.
The building of Weingarten Vineyard offers a new place to enjoy great things — fine wine, unparalleled atmosphere, superb cuisine, magnificent views, and a tranquil setting in which to unwind with family and friends.
Gift Shop
Featuring specialty items such as Napa Home and Garden Ceramic Firelights and Archipelago body lotions and candles, the 2,400 square foot Gift Shop will offer a wide assortment of wine, wine accessories, home decor, and outdoor living products.
Seasonal items and artisan crafts will add to the unique flavor.
Old World Deli
From specialty pizzas hand made in our Italian wood fired oven to premium cheeses and desserts, the Old World Deli will have a variety of mouthwatering fare.
The menu will also include panini sandwiches, whole grain breads, appetizers, salads, and fruits – something for everyone to enjoy with that perfect bottle of wine.
