St. James Winery

Open: Year-round

At St. James Winery, we make wine that reflects where we’re from — the Meramec Highlands. This rich, fertile region is a stretch of communities forming the heart of Missouri.

When they opened St. James Winery in 1970, Jim and Pat Hofherr started with wines that were easy to drink and easy to share with friends and family. They re-established the grapes grown by Missouri’s historical Meramec Highlands wineries in the 1800s and used them to make flavorful wines that are unique to where they’re made.

Since then, St. James Winery has given Missouri wineries a national profile, winning hundreds of medals and expanding to become the fifth largest winery east of the Rocky Mountains.
