This weekend my husband, myself as well as a few of our friends decided to take a trip to Ste. Genevieve, MO to visit Crown Valley Winery, for a day of sipping wonderful wine and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

We were so fortunate, the day turned out to be beyond gorgeous. Perfect for sitting on the patio and relaxing together.

Andrew and I were treated to a tour of the winery as well as a wine tasting by Crown Valley Winery.
We got an up close look at how the wine is made, bottled and shipped out.
The tour was very informative, I never knew so many steps went into creating wine!!
*Where the wine is bottled*
My favorite part was seeing all the wine barrels, and learning that Crown Valley not only gets their barrels from Missouri but also France!
Once the tour was over we got to sample all of their wines, which were quite delicious.
My number one favorite would have to be the Chardonel.
We then took our favorite wines and sat outside on the patio and ordered some food from their full menu!
It was so hard to choose what to get!
I settled on the Blue Bison Salad with the Blackberry Wine Vinaigrette.
Seriously, I can't even describe how excellent this salad was. I would highly recommend this to anyone who goes and visits Crown Valley!

After we were done with our meal we decided to make the short drive to Crown Valley's Brewery.
We grabbed a glass of their Craft Beer and went to sit on their patio where we were able to enjoy the wonderful weather some more as well as live music.
The scenery was absolutely gorgeous here as well, so I insisted that we take pictures {the guys weren't that thrilled but they will just have to get used to it!}
I want to thank Crown Valley Winery for a wonderful day and for allowing my husband and I to take a complimentary tour and tasting!
I hope everyone is having a great week & if you're ever in the St. Louis area I would highly suggest making the trip to Crown Valley Winery for a day, it's absolutely worth it!
Cheers!

I've been dying to go to a winery. We're driving to Kansas this summer to visit my boyfriends family, and we usually go through MO. Maybe I can convince him to take a little pit stop at the Winery. It seems like it was a beautiful weekend everywhere!
