George Munch and Fellow Winemakers
HISTORY

Mount Pleasant Winery was founded in 1859 in Augusta, Missouri; America’s first designated wine district. George Munch, who came with his brother, Frederick, from Germany, established a vineyard and winery in an area that reminded him of his homeland. From the beauty of the topography to the incredible potential for creating excellent wines, they chose Mount Pleasant. The original cellars were completed in 1881 and were built from the wood and abundant limestone in the area.

When Prohibition hit in 1920 the winery was forced to close and all of the vines were removed. In 1966, the winery was reopened and the vineyards were replanted with self-rooted vines and classic grafted European varieties.

In 1980, the Augusta Appellation was created and became America’s First Wine District.

Today, the winery grows 16 grape varieties on 85 acres and the original cellars are still used to age the “estate bottled” wines and our international award winning Augusta Ports.

EXPERIENCE

Only a short distance from St. Louis, the winery offers a calm, friendly experience that is quite the opposite of the daily hustle and bustle of the city. Treat yourself to a trip to Mount Pleasant Winery, tour the limestone cellars and taste our international award-winning “estate bottled” wines and Ports (you’re sure to find a new favorite). Then settle down on the patio with its majestic view and enjoy a bottle of your favorite wine and delicious picnic fare from the Mount Pleasant grocery and grill.
