🍷🇺🇸 Celebrate the Anniversary of America's First AVA with Us!
On June 20, 1980, Augusta, Missouri made history by becoming the nation's first American Viticultural Area (AVA)—earning recognition for the unique climate, soils, and geography that make our region ideal for growing grapes and crafting exceptional wines. (We were even before Napa!)
To celebrate, join us THIS Saturday, June 20th from 1–3 PM at Augusta Winery as we celebrate this historic milestone with a guided tasting journey through all five of Missouri's AVAs!
Along the way, you'll sample 12+ wines from across the state, comparing the flavors, textures, and character created by everything from loess-covered hillsides to rich clay and silt loam soils.
🍇 Includes:
✔️ 12+ Missouri wine samples
✔️ Guided educational tasting
✔️ Charcuterie and light bites
✔️ A deeper appreciation for Missouri wine country
Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a unique afternoon experience, this is the perfect way to raise a glass to the region that started it all.
