Gasconade County, Administrative county in east-central Missouri, United States.
Gasconade County is an administrative county in east-central Missouri, stretching along the Missouri River with agricultural land, vineyards, and waterways woven throughout its territory. The county contains several towns and is shaped by its river valley landscape.
The county was founded in 1820 and took its name from French settlers who came from the Gascony region and named the local river accordingly. French origins blended with later German settlement that transformed the area's character.
German settlers left their mark on the area by planting vineyards and building communities where traditional crafts and architecture still shape how villages look today. This heritage influences daily life and the way people gather and celebrate throughout the year.
Visitors can explore several towns, with Hermann serving as a known center for wine experiences and remaining accessible by car through good roads. The region offers many stops along the river with local shops and places to eat.
The Hermann wine region earned official designation as an American Viticultural Area in 1983, making it one of the oldest and most respected wine producers in the Midwest. This recognition brought the area international attention for its distinctive grape varieties and production methods.
