This was my favorite winery on our tour hands down. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The wine tasting is only $7 for 5 very generous pours and you get to keep your glass. There was live music outside on the veranda and a small deli to add to your wine tasting experience. Our server Chris was very knowledgeable and friendly, he definitely made our experience at Crown Valley fun.

Bartender was very outgoing and knowledgeable. Had lots of great suggestions on wines to try . Slightly disappointed that they don't offer an beer here . Not a huge wine guy so it would nice to have an alternative available

Frosty Brew Fest was awesome! Lots of great local brews to sample. Great live music. If you haven't had Crown Valley's BlackBerry Hard Cider, you are wrong!

Sucks y'all were shut down but I had hella fun skating there and enjoying the view until the cops trespassed me for climbing on the silos.

It's a great place to relax, today had live band playing music (good band). Walked around the facilities beautiful sunny day. Food, drinks and of coarse the wine was all great. Facilities are very nice and well maintained. We visit regularly and sure miss them during winter shut down. But we do have wine through the cold weather. We highly recommend locals or visitors to stop by and keep coming back.

Such an amazing experience! I booked this venue for my wedding in May 2021 and it was everything I dreamt of! Madi was SO helpful and amazing to work with, along with the rest of the staff. They did everything they could to make it less stressful on me and were so flexible and responsive. I recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor/indoor wedding ceremony and reception, it was such a beautiful day :)

Loved it. You can bring your own food in a small cooler or backpack. You just cannot bring any drinks water, soda, etc. The sangria wines are very tasty. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the weather. Both covered and uncovered. Live music on the weekend we were there. Great view of the surrounding vineyard. Will definitely be back !

What a wonderful place to enjoy nature with loved ones! A good 2 mile hike through the woods. Incredible rock formations. Not ADA accessible.

The Trail Through Time is our favorite in the area! So much to see; caves, bluffs, coves, rock formations, etc. Varied and interesting trail, although somewhat tricky to navigate at times (scrambling over and around rocks/roots). Took us just over an hour to do the full loop with time to stop and take pictures. Not crowded at all on a Wednesday afternoon in July.

Like a mini-Elephant Rocks, this trail has some fantastic rock formations to explore. The trail is only 2 miles long, but it felt longer due to all the ups and downs. There are numerous tiny side trails to scenic spots, but the path is blazed with red arrows and white squares, which assuaged our fears of getting lost.

Edit: Me and my date both poison ivy in little places all over, so is prolly recommend long sleeves that go directly in the wash after. I visited in summer though, so that wasn't an option 😅. --- I was told there were lots of "small waterfalls".. and there were maybe 3? And they were 2-3 ft drops? 😅 I'd probably call it a nice hike through the woods with a few water trickles of water 😁. And if you think of it that way, it was very nice. Pretty shady most of the time, some cool rocks - rocks were cooler than the water. Barely saw people, but heard them a few times. Definitely requires a bit of careful foot placement. The sign said it takes 1 hours, but we eneded up taking 1.5 - both from being a little slow and sightseeing/getting turned around.

No restrooms, water, or from what i saw no trash cans... plan accordingly. It's a very busy trail (i went on Saunday afternoon on Father's day), well-maintained. Not the best for trail running since it's narrow in some spots, and people kinda can't and/or just don't won't move over.. Highly recommended and I plan on going often.

Really nice overall. Definitely moderate hiking and lots of sights. Lots of rambling water and little waterfalls. No restrooms though

Great hike, alot of climbing but, Wow! the rock formations are spectacular.

This is one of my all-time favorite wineries now. Yes, the cave is AWESOME! But the wines are delicious across the board, the cheese, meats and biscotti you can try during a wine pairing are phenomenal. The staff is extremely friendly and they have beer and spirits too if you’re not a wine drinker. Plus the property is beautiful.

Had a great motorcycle ride to Cave Vineyard. It's about an hour South of St. Louis in the country. My bike handled the hilly and winding roads like a dream. I sampled some wines and spirits, all were very good. I really liked the Rockin' Rosie and bought a bottle. They had meats, cheeses, crackers, and almond biscotti 😋 which I took down to the cave. Some dripping from the ceiling, so I got a lot of "kisses" from the cave (that's what the sign said). 😅

Coming with kids here Sunday around 11 am is probably the best. Since Saturday has pizza and carts, Sunday was a bit slower, but perfect for family picnic. Get a bottle of favorite wine and snacks at the tasting room and make a short walk to the cave. On the hot day - perfect spot to sip chill wine.

This was such a cool place to visit. We went on a cold and rainy day so we weren't there long. The nice lady at the main bar in the tasting room was very nice and helpful to talk to. The cave was such a unique place. Everywhere you looked was just cool. You must go if for no other reason just because it's different.

Really cool setup all around . You can see the whole operation. They not make wine , but also distill their own spirts (brandy) and make their own beer . Pretty sure it was one of the owners behind the bar serving up the wine tasting amd making suggestions. Definitely knew her stuff and offered other ideas based after tasting different wines . Of course the cave is cool also and worth a bottle of wine . The decent is decently steep and thr walk up could be hard for some . It was raining the day we visited . I would suggest taking a blower down the path to the cave and getting rid of the leaves was really slippery . Really enjoyed our visit here and would come back again .

Wine is a matter of taste, this is why I do not rate their wine, but a wine tasting out of little plastic cups (Like at the dentist) is something only people do who are not proud of what they produced. Even if you buy a bottle, what is by the way required to see the cave, you would get plastic cups. I hope they improve their service and do something for the taste of their wine and the environment. For me it will be a one time visit.

While a bit on the small side the Cave Winery still has quite a bit to offer. The tasting was $5 for 5 tastings. The Rocking Rosie was my favorite of the five the others were too tart for my liking. They serve fresh made biscotti for $1 each and it was very good. They offer a golf cart ride down the paved path to the cave if you don't feel like walking down. You can bring your own picnic lunch with you to eat in the cave. Fair warning...it is damp inside the cave but if that's not to your liking they have a small pavilion with just outside of the cave. There are no restroom facilities at the actual cave site so make sure to go at the main building if you need to.

We did the Pickle Creek trail and had a lot of fun. Beautiful trail alongside the creek. Lots of rocks and roots to navigate but it just made it more interesting. There were restrooms with pit toilets in the parking lot, not terrible but not great either. Looked like there were nice picnic areas, but we didn't use them.

I did the white oaks trail one week and then the full whispering pines trail the following week in early October 2024. They should just close the white oak trail in my opinion, the views aren’t great and the trail isn’t maintained very well/ the path is very small for some reason. The whispering pines trail on the other hand is easily one of the best hikes in Missouri. The Pine trees transport you to the north west without having to compromise on weather. Great overlooks, fun but challenging hills and cliffs, and then at the southern most point is a serene stream and cool area to relax. I can’t wait to be back.

Nice and clean park! Large with many trails. We did the Pickle Creek Trail, which was beautiful and scenic, but also not easy. Definitely be prepared for a more difficult hike, with lots of rocks and downed trees to climb over.

Visited the park for a look at the overlook walkway by the park office and then a hike on White Connector 3. Following that, I took a short drive along Park Drive (doesn't every MO State Park have a Park Drive?) and ran across a sight in a camping area that I've never seen before in any park. Check out the photos for Santa-fied skeleton buddies. On 23 July 2025. People do some amazing things........

This park is absolutely beautiful. Did the whispering pine north trail and it's beautiful. Not too difficult and not too long if you take the white connector in the middle.

Such a beautiful park. Very peaceful. They have several walking trails. Place to camp. A little park area with picnic tables. Could spend the whole day here. The rocks are really pretty and different. Lots of granite.

Highly recommend it for the area. Trees were still dead from winter. It can be confusing if you are doing south loop of the trail so pay attention to the map. Two of our friends got lost for a while

Great information to be found here! Super friendly staff. Small gifts and National Historical Park stamp available for passports.

What a gem of a welcome center! The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. There's a neat little gift shop and quite a few displays of local historic homes. I highly recommend stopping in here before you go anywhere else!

We enjoyed our tour! Don't want to spoil the history for anyone. We're history buffs. The Gent answered all questions, very knowledgeable which made our experience very enjoyable!

Nice little welcome center in the historic district of Ste Gen. The staff were very nice and informative. Kind of a small museum mixed with a tourism board. You can purchase a historic site passport here that will get you in to 6 of the the local sites. Includes 5 houses and the city museum. Cost is $15 a person, but if you don't purchase it, you pay individually at each place. If you are a walker, all sites are walkable.

Small as far as national park visitor centers go, but the on-site ranger was very friendly and the large diorama of the town as it appeared in the past was neat to look at.

When coming somewhere new these welcome centers are a great way to get an idea on stuff to do in the area. The employees are happy to share their information and knowledge with you to make your trip more enjoyable and sometimes less stressful

My mother's family is tied closely to St. Genevieve and the staff were very knowledgeable about the town and it's practices.

Weingarten vineyard has recently changed ownership and is now open again. They have a spectacular building that is well worth going to, with a great bar, large dining area with tall windows for a view and a nice patio dining area. In good weather, the patio/deck area provides a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a drink or light meal while enjoying the view. They are currently open Thursday through Sunday, but would not be surprised if the days and times change as fall and winter approach. Drinks and a lunch menu is available and I understand that a dinner menu will be available at some point.

Best place to visit they have the most amazing suites if you looking to stay over night , Eric and Joe they were great hosts will definitely going back

Weingarten Vineyard is truly a spectacular venue for any event! As a DJ, I’ve had the pleasure of performing here on multiple occasions, and it never fails to impress. The vineyard setting offers breathtaking views, and the venue itself perfectly blends rustic elegance with modern charm. The staff is incredibly welcoming and professional, making every event seamless for both vendors and guests. The atmosphere is perfect for creating unforgettable memories, whether it's a wedding or another celebration. If you're looking for a stunning venue with fantastic service, Weingarten Vineyard is an excellent choice!

Nice view and the building is beautiful. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no table service. If you want food or drink, you go inside to the bar. Or you can order food via a QR Code, but no one comes and checks on you After your food is brought to you. I ordered a nice salad. Unfortunately., it was pretty much lettuce and no dressing. Presentation was great, just no flavor.

This place is truly a hidden gem. Beautiful vistas, gorgeous interior (reminiscent of a church), and incredible food/wine. The owners are genuinely nice people who take great pride in their beautiful business. They recently became an Inn. We were fortunate enough to be their very first guests. The room was absolutely gorgeous. The views from the private porch are stunning. The food and wine was incredible. We had a very romantic evening. I highly recommend his place for a weekend trip, overnight stay, or romantic dinner. Far enough out that you can see the beautiful night sky free of light pollution. Close enough that you don't have to take time off work. Perfect place to spend an anniversary or romantic weekend getaway. Close to pickle springs and other beautiful state parks this place is perfect spot to springboard a weekend trip. Local restaurants like The Kozy and the Dew Drop Inn make this place a must stay. We plan to visit at least once a year and make it a tradition because we love it so much! Important to note: Everything is clean, bathrooms spotless Food is highest quality Huge variety of wine selection The owners treat every guest like family Plenty of parking Owners have their pets on site but they stay outside 🥺 Beautiful interior decorating Quiet and Peaceful Owners accommodate your needs and are premptively considerate Beautiful paths to walk Lack of light pollution Security is sound Private porch Local restaurants are top notch Local parks are beautiful Vistas are beautiful Feel free to ask me any questions This place is only going to get better and better as we were there first guests and they still have a lot of improvements they hope to incorporate. And we still had a five star experience

Excellent place to have that really nice dinner experience!! Food is always exceptional and the views out the dining room windows are a nice backdrop. You should look into renting one of their two overnight stay rooms - but because of their popularity they book up fast so plan accordingly!!

Really nice place to have a glass of wine.
