ORIGINS
Winery: Augusta Winery
Region: Missouri
Missouri is a state located in the Midwestern United States, known for its rolling hills, rivers, and diverse landscape. It is also home to a wine industry, with rich history and a wide variety of wines.
Missouri has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s. The first commercial winery in the state was established in 1847, and by the late 1800s, Missouri was producing more than one million gallons of wine each year. The industry continued to grow until Prohibition in the 1920s, when it was nearly wiped out. After Prohibition, the industry slowly began to rebuild, and today there are more than 100 wineries in the state.CUSTOMER RATING
