Shawnee Bluff Winery

Went here with my wife for a tasting. Had the pleasure of running through the list with Sylwia whom was a great conversationalist and gave us a ton of info. Needless to say we walked away with a couple bottles.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! It's an old 50s (?) motel/inn that's been completely transformed and I love every inch of how they've used it! You can't see much of anything other than a winery sign. There's a few motel rooms which have been updated and are adorable inside and have a patio with seating and an awesome view of the lake. There's also a large patio next to this to enjoy a view and food/drinks. Next to this is a pool for any patrons to enjoy. There's another building alongside which was not open with a tasting room. Across from the motel rooms is a building they turned into event space. In front of it is bocce ball courts and there's even more outdoor seating. The building next to it is another small indoor bar/restaurant area. They wood-fire their food and the pretzels are so delicious! That being said, they are a terrible idea to order while wine tasting. 😁 They make all of their wines, some solely with Missouri grapes and others are blended with grapes from California, etc. MO doesn't produce many amazing grapes but we definitely found a couple of great wines which we bought. Bonus: monthly (or weekly?) - and on the day we were there - they donate all profits to a local nonprofit. Good thing we left with an additional 4 bottles after drinking and eating there. Can't wait to go back and to bring family/friends.

This place had a cute little intimate vibe...They have different priced wine flights in which if you purchase 4 pick flight you receive a Custom wine glass,  and 5 pick flight, receive a custom tumblr is a must try...i taste tested all of their Missouri Wines and walked away with a bottle of Vingoles which is a semi sweet white ,  and a bottle of Bluff Blush and I'm a Sweetie Tooand,  which are both sweet reds! See below for my "Piercing" Wine Review: *Dry Whites*: •Flappers and Philosophers - slightly bitter,  light wine... Cleansing to the palette *Semi Sweet White*: •Vignoles - sweet , dry white it's works! *Sweet Whites*: •Speakeasy - very sweet,  ever so slight bubble taste •Bluff Breeze on Tap - bubbly,  slight sweet taste... Almost like a lightly fizzy soda *Dry Reds*: •Norton -strong smell upon bringing cup to your mouth, semi dry taste. Not that bitter but bitter,  not as strong as it smells •Retro red- slight bitter,  very tame and smooth *Semi Sweet Reds*: •Double Bluff- taste like water low-key. Refreshing •Dry Rose  - light,  refreshing,  taste like water more than the last one... Slight bitter aftertaste *Sweet Reds*: •Bluff Blush - sweet and light,  light like water •I'm a Sweetie Too -sweet,  slight darkness. It's good tho,  sweet with ever so slight one two Visit my Travel Page for more insight... IG: @piercethroughyourzone

We had a great visit. We tasted 5 of their wines and enjoyed them very much. It was the kinds of experience we were looking for.
