We were biking the KATY Trail in the Defiance area and stumbled upon the greatest little winery "Yellow Farmhouse Winery" They have been there for several years, but recently opened a tasting room this summer. The owner and Winemaker, toured us through his vineyard and the quaint (but amazingly high-tech) winery. The tasting was a revelation! He taught us more about Missouri Wines in 30 minutes than we had learned in a lifetime. They don't provide a place to sit and drink wine, but the tasting room is unique with lots of interesting touches. Complete with oak barrels, a real bottling machine and free water for Katy Trail Bikers, what a treasure. They do charge $5.00 for tasting which is unlimited, you get to keep a beautiful embossed wine glass and the tasting fee is applied against the purchase of wine. It's a very friendly spot to stop, and a welcome contrast to the larger "impersonal" wineries. We highly recommend it as a "must see".

Thanks for the tip rj. We visited the Yellow Farm House Winery on Sunday and absolutely loved the atmosphere. We met a gentleman who informed us they will be opening their hillside next spring for picnics etc. The hillside has the most awesome view of the river valley. We took a tour of the winery and learned all about the wine making process. The Yellow Farm House Winery is a more personal alternative to some of the larger wineries that seem to cater to the inebriated if you know what I mean. We will definitely return next spring with our children for an afternoon picnic. We rate this a "must see" on the Katy Trail.
