5 Reasons to Visit Defiance Ridge Vineyards

Defiance Ridge Vineyards lies in the heart of Missouri wine country. That means it's surrounded by dozens of other vineyards, as well as shops, bed and breakfasts, and quaint boutiques, but there are five reasons why a visit to Defiance Ridge Vineyards will make it stand out from the rest.

Let's find out what they are!

1. The Wine

Of course, the wine has to be first on the list. It is a vineyard, after all. At Defiance Ridge Vineyards, there're five different varieties of wine for you to try.

If you like white wine, try their Riesling. It has sweet notes of peaches and apricots and a hit of spice. If you prefer the reds, you'll want to taste the Defiant Norton. It's a smoky mixture of cherries and boysenberries. They have a few sparkling and rosé options, as well. Plus, their Tawny Port is blossoming with creamy orange flavors and notes of caramel.

2. The Food

Great wine just wouldn't be the same without having some delicious food to pair it with. So, when you head over to Defiance Ridge Vineyards for some wine, make it a meal.

If you stop by for lunch, you could share a Farmers Board with friends. It has an assortment of local meats and cheeses, all flanked by nuts, pickles, olives, and crusty bread. For supper, they have everything from soups and salads to smoked prime rib and pan-seared salmon.

3. Brunch!

You heard that right! Every Sunday, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m, Defiance Ridge Vineyards hosts brunch.

You can start off with some sweet cinnamon roll bites. Then, you can move on to one of their delectable brunch sandwiches. The Barnyard Burger and the fried chicken biscuit are two crowd favorites. They also have a Farmhouse Frittata, which is always filled with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

4. Live Music and Exciting Events

Every Saturday and Sunday, the Defiance Ridge Vineyards hosts a variety of musical performances. They can turn a quick wine tasting into an exciting all-afternoon event. There, you'll find everything from rock, jazz, and country artists, to world-class voice impressionists.

Adding to that, there are several fun events for you to attend throughout the year. You can show up to their Hallowine Party in your best Halloween costume and join them for a candy and wine pairing. Plus, once a month they host a Farmhouse Dinner, which features a five-course farm-to-table tasting menu.
