Warren County

Warren County is an administrative division in eastern Missouri near the St. Louis area, situated along rolling hills on the north bank of the Missouri River. The landscape features a mix of rural communities, farmland, and river valleys that shape the character of the region.

The county was established in 1833 and named after General Joseph Warren, who died in the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill. This early founding reflects the westward expansion of the United States during that era.

The Missouri Weinstrasse, Route 94, passes through the county and connects multiple wineries producing wines in the tradition of Germany's Rhine region.

The county has a rural layout with scattered communities, best explored by car since attractions are spread throughout the area. Plan time to explore back roads and visit wineries along Route 94 at your own pace.

The county is known for its German-style wine industry that traces back to Rhine Valley immigrants who settled there in the 1800s. Today the wineries carry on this German-American tradition and attract visitors seeking authentic local wines.
