Montelle Winery
The Augusta region was nationally known for its wine during the 19th century, but Prohibition halted the state’s winemaking for decades. Then, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a few pioneering souls began to refurbish the old vineyards and winery buildings. The secret to Montelle's success in producing outstanding wines is the unique vineyards. The Augusta area was designated as the first viticultural area in the United States because of unique soils, microclimates, and history.

Wineries with Wayne
What a lovely day. Wayne was a pleasure to be with. He is knowledgeable and personable. He took such good care of us. We went to wineries and he found tables for us and knew the grape varietals. We didn’t worry about a thing. A perfect day!

Wayne was an amazing driver for all of us crazy, drunk girls! We had an absolute blast with him and every place we ventured to. He was very knowledgeable about the area and took real good care of us. We enjoyed conversing with Wayne to the point that I think he knows more about us then any other group he's had! We will definitely be asking for Wayne to take us on more tours in the future!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much Brittany! Let's do it again soon for the bachelorette!!!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Louis.
How much does Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country cost?
+
Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Louis is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to Missouri Wine Country start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Louis?
+
St Louis leads with Gateway Arch tram rides and riverboat cruises, then brewery tours, Forest Park museums, City Museum visits and Route 66 history runs. Arch tram tickets are timed entry, so we weight tours that secure them. On Outty we rank every St Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lemp Haunted Neighborhood Walking Tour, St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem, Private Tour of St. Louis's Iconic BBQ Joints & Breweries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Louis?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
