Stone Hill Winery, Historic winery in Hermann, United States
Stone Hill Winery is a wine production facility in Hermann featuring arched stone cellars built beneath the property, tasting rooms, and a restaurant. The underground cellars create conditions ideal for aging wine while allowing visitors to tour the production areas and purchase bottles on-site.
The winery was founded in 1847 by German immigrants and grew to become one of the largest wine producers in the nation during the 1800s. Its success helped establish the Missouri wine region as a significant center for wine production.
The winery reflects its German heritage through the Vintage 1847 Restaurant, where visitors can enjoy traditional dishes alongside locally produced wines.
The grounds are easy to explore on foot and visitors can take guided cellar tours along with wine tastings throughout the day. Plan to spend at least a few hours exploring the buildings and cellars, with better conditions for visiting during warmer months when outdoor areas are more comfortable.
When Prohibition stopped wine production in 1920, the owners repurposed their extensive cellars to grow mushrooms, turning the underground chambers into a thriving agricultural operation. This creative adaptation kept the facility active and the cellars productive throughout the dry years.
