6 Best Wineries near Defiance

“We came here for my fiances birthday with a group of 10. The waitress was very kind and everything was quick and delicious. A member of my party was being rude to the waitress and so I just wanted to apologize on the behalf of our group. She was great!“

“Today was a beautiful day, I had the privilege of being there today by myself. I enjoyed the special treatment, and half bottles Wednesday. I will be back next Wednesday with some special friends and family. I’m thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have such a wonderful place 18 minutes away from my home.“

“Their wines and liquors are amazing, this winery is really warm and friendly and exactly the place to relax and enjoy the beautiful view while enjoying what they have to offer. Staff and owners are very friendly, welcoming people. You’re doing yourself and your friends a disservice if you don’t spend your time at this winery. They also just put in a pickle ball court - so there’s something to distract the people in your group who can’t sit still!“

“We started out here for my bachelorette party and it was great! The outdoor seating was perfect for our group of 10. We sat around a fire and tried a few different wines. I’ve been here a few other times and the service is always great. This place has my favorite sangria!“

“We planned an event for my friend at Mt Pleasant this past weekend. It was almost everyone’s first time there and we had a blast. We were met with such kindness and hospitality from all of the staff. The patio was gorgeous and the view with the fall colors was stunning. Shout out to Karen for going above and beyond for us. And to Jack for making our wine tasting so fun & educational! The wine was also amazing!! I can’t wait to return to this beautiful winery!“

“When we stay in Washington, Missouri, our winery hopping itinerary goes: (1) Montelle Winery, (2) Augusta Winery Tasting Room, (3) Noboleis Vineyards, (4) Balducci Vineyards and (5) Blumenhof Winery. Starting off our day at Montelle. Montelle is possibly my favorite winery in the Augusta Missouri area for their ambiance. Their standing tasting bar meets an extra large patio area that looks over stunning views. We typically start at their tasting bar and then purchase a glass of wine to take onto the patio to enjoy their live music. In my opinion, they usually have the best live music of the day. They also have a great food menu with shareable snacks. We often see a private party - such as a Bridal Shower - while we are there, as well as couples dancing to the live music. Highly recommend this winery stop if you're in the area!“
