This is a lovely, little winery in Macon, MO; open since 2009 and owned by Chris & Jen West. It is…read morelocated right on the main street of Macon, tucked in with other local businesses. You can stop in for a tasting or sit down at a table for a glass or two. You can actually watch the winemakers make the wine as you sip your glass as the tanks are in the main room with the bar. It makes the whole process come together. They also have live music on some weekends and are available as a rental space. My mother is from Marceline, MO (another small town on Hwy 36). One take, after visiting my gma, we drove over to Macon to check out this winery. It was beautiful inside! The women who provided our wine tasting was very knowledgeable and could tell us about each wine as well as the history of the winery. I am a sweet wine person, so I enjoyed (and bought!) Duck Creek Red. My mom is an apple fan, so she bought a bottle of the Dry Apple wine. Can't wait to go back!

Friendly staff and a great wine selection. It's a hidden gem in this small town. Definitely worth a…read moretrip.

Be sure to try the wine slushies!! They are amazing! We took home Watermelon, PB&J, BlackBerry Cobbler and Mango Chili Lime! Be sure to check this one out!!!

Each time we stop in, I feel like it gets better. I'll admit that the few times before, I wasn't super impressed with the wine, but this time...YES! So much improvement! I had a flight of the drier options and liked every one! We got several pizzas for all of us and they each were delicious. The hot honey one especially. Speaking of hot honey, I stock up on the Angle Acres Habanero Honey because it puts every other hot honey that I've ever tried to shame. SO good. Things are a little more pricier than I'd expect, but there are not a lot of other options out that way as well. Looking forward to the next time already!

The weather was beautiful, there was plenty of outdoor seating to have great conversations over delicious glasses of wine. We sampled several ( no charge!), and I chose a semi sweet white called Summer something or other lol; now I don't remember the name! But I did purchase a bottle as a gift. They also had wine slushy's that a lot of the moms were drinking and I tried one and would definitely have it next time! The service was very cordial and the proprietor was extremely knowledgeable. It was just a delightful experience all around!

Great view of the vines, pines and oaks on the property! The wine is a terrific offering of what Missouri home grown grapes have to offer! The owners/operators work together like family (because they are) to be super friendly and hospitable! Very open to all my silly wine making questions! In my opinion this place is a model for what Missouri wine and wine producers are all about!!

Farm to table, right? How about farm to table AT a farm's table?…read more Green Dirt Farm offers up an array of choices from their artisanal cheeses and pair those with a number of other agricultural offerings from Missouri. Their sheep's cheese has that tangy, yet savory, bite to it and marries well with any number of wine varietals. Missouri, and Weston in particular, produces climates and days of sun similar to those of French wine regions, so the vines produce a wonderful fruit suitable for bottling. Plus, when you add in other items to your wine 'n cheez, like sausages or local honeys, it's a party all around. We love to get a charcuterie and a couple of drinks, be they wine or local beer products, and find a seat outside. If you aren't sure what you want, then the friendly staff is more than willing to offer suggestions or other service. The tables out front, on an autumn day in particular, give that rustic feel that underscores the farm to table experience. Handy intel: If you are outside and you do get something sweet (think jam or honey), then you are bound to attract friends. The buzzing kind. Green Dirt Farm also has a fabulous selection of sammiches as well. I love the 'Ruby Don't Go Bacon My Heart', a grilled delight of local cheeses and crumbled bacon, served with a strawberry jam. It's SUBLIME, and you may regret sharing. And don't miss their handmade ice cream, with flavors rotating seasonally and always worth the indulgence. Wine, locally made goods, and even locally raised meats like lamb are sold in the shop, and you just can't leave empty-handed. It's super easy to find if you're coming in from the east, like off the 435 loop. Parking is where you want to park, seating is easy outside and even some inside, and the value far outstrips the price points. Stop and get some local artisanal goodies to go or order from the menu and stay awhile.
