Returning from Washington, MO. with rush hour approaching into Kansas City we diverted to Rocheport off 1-70 heading west until you notice Le Bourgeois vineyards with the A-Frame tasting room entrance sign. There's a large parking with a slight downward grade to the wine garden with numerous seating levels along the Missouri River. We were here for 2 hours soaking in the sun, watching the Vultures catching the wind over the river. The ambiance is peaceful, tranquil and a must visit. read more

I went here today for my friends birthday and we are all of age. They were scanning our IDs and their machine wasn't working properly. The manager then was questioning my friend about her ID, which is completely normal besides the fact the first question she asked was her weight... We all were shocked because the normal questions asked are address or zip code but never weight. Safe to say we won't be coming back! read more

The staff went above and beyond to help my father access their venue in a wheelchair. They were so kind and compassionate.

This is one of my favorite wineries in Missouri. We stopped here on our way to Hermann. We went to lunch at the Bistro first. I had the shrimp tacos with the side Greek salad and my fiancée had the Italian sandwich with the Greek salad. The salads were delicious and fresh. The entrees were huge portions. My fiancée couldn't even finish half of his sandwich! The server was very attentive too. After lunch we went to the tasting room. We did the 8 wine tasting sample which comes with a complimentary wine glass. The staff was very friendly. I really liked the wines- they were not too sweet at all! My fiancée ended up purchasing a six pack of the IPA as well. Overall a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend a visit to les bourgeois! read more

Submitted a request on the website for information regarding having a small elopement style wedding at the bistro through their online inquiry for weddings. Email 5/17 included for your consideration. Tara sent over a pricing guide and also an event menu with pricing.( relevant parts included, note the pictures of weddings in the pricing guide) My fiancé and I followed up on the email and said we would like to move forward for June over the phone and she asked for us to text to follow up with details. We did so on the 22nd and didn't get anything despite following up and at 7 pm today 5/28 when we called to see what was up and why we had not gotten anything from them they sent a separate pricing guide and was told it will be thousands of dollars more than originally quoted. They offered a bottle of wine for the "confusion". Attached is a copy of the email with the original pricing from the 22nd and then also the new pricing. The price increased $2,000 from when I originally put in an inquiry for a wedding on 5/17 and when she got around to responding to our follow ups on 5/28. Don't trust this venue for anything as they will extort you for more money close to the day of the event. read more

This will definitely be added to our regular rotation. The bistro is beautiful with the most amazing views and large windows that perfectly capture the scenery outside. Our service was slow but very nice and we didn't really mind the slower pace. We enjoyed the food. It was well executed simple food.

We visited the tasting room on a rainy Saturday to celebrate my friend's bachelorette. The ladies in the tasting room could not have been nicer or more attentive! Les Bourgeois is not currently offering wine tastings due to COVID, but they do have wine flights and limited indoor seating (masks required). We were given a list of all their wines, and they took the time to go through the list to explain them to us since they weren't very busy. After bringing out our wine flights and some crackers/water for the table, they surprised us with a complimentary toast for everyone of their Brut champagne! Even though the weather was cold and rainy, we had the best time celebrating indoors and sampling their delicious wines! read more

Les Bourgeois is an incredibly beautiful winery overlooking the Missouri River. If you're living in CoMo, this is the place to stop for a evening if you prefer wine. We stopped in one day for lunch and oh man, the food was delicious!!! I got their Caesar salad and hubby got the Chicken Fried Steak special. We paired it with one of their tastings and had high expectations. Sadly the portions were relatively small, and the taste wasn't above and beyond. If you're picky about wine, I'd suggest Herman. If not, this is your place to go! read more

One of the most beautiful views in middle Missouri, straight up. I've ridden through here, and finally decided to hike up the bluff and check it out and we all came away impressed. For starters, there are two big spaces here, one that is an informal A-Frame with picnic baskets, live music, and feels a bit like a summer camp. That's what we checked out and I'll dig into in a sec. The other is the Blufftop Bistro which is more of a formal, slightly upscale restaurant and looks like a nice space overall, but I haven't experienced it yet. The A-Frame has picnic tables and all outdoor seating, so when the weather is nice, this is a super chill spot to hang out. They have several bottles from the vineyard, some local brews on tap, and then a handful of sandwiches, BBQ plates, cheese plates, hummus... lunch-like shareables. We found everyone here to be super friendly, and the whole ordering process to be a cinch. With our toddler in tow, we were doing an early dinner and it worked out beautifully; a midsummer night with the (very full) river rushing by below, chilled rosé, turkey sandwiches, cheese & fruit and some live music. I'm no wine connoisseur, but we enjoyed the dry rosé and thought it was better than anticipated. The music was a miss as they were having technical difficulties on this night, but I'm not sure they were all that good to begin with if I'm being honest. Bummer because my kiddo kept saying, "I want to dance!" but it's tough to dance to reverb and bad timing. This whole area is scenic and can make you think you're somewhere other than Missouri (no offense to my current home state, but, ya know). If you're in Rocheport for any reason, you gotta check this spot out and enjoy the relaxing setting. read more

Great location with a scenic bluff setting overlooking the Missouri river. One of the few wineries around Columbia, Missouri and the combination of location and lack of competition jack's up their prices without the justification based on quality. If I'm in the area I'd likely return, I'd probably just for a few drinks, then I'd return to Columbia for a better meal. The grounds and restaurant could be more refined and it's minor but significant changes needed to bump up their reviews. Hopefully they'll do this, as they have a million dollar view and not much competition. read more

The vineyard where everyone goes! My friend and I ordered a glass of wine each. The cheese plate consisted of square slices of cheddar, swiss, provolone, and one other, as well as some crackers. We also ordered the pretzel plate, which had two mini (palm-size) pretzels with about one salt shaker full of salt on each and a dipping sauce. There's a $3 deposit on the glasses, which when you return will get the deposit in cash, even if you paid via credit card. There is so much patio seating, you won't have any difficulty finding a spot to sit on one of their many benches. There are also two private event areas. All areas are tiered so wherever you sit you'll have a good view. And boy, the views of the MIssouri River were spectacular! And the eastern winds make this a perfect place to hang out, relax, and enjoy time with friends. The parking lot is hilly and sloped and has paved and unpaved areas, so expect your tires to get a workout. There was no issue with finding parking close to the vineyard. The place is also decorated for the fall, which was nice to see all the pumpkins and decor. There are outhouse style restrooms with actual toilets. The men's restroom was surprisingly squeaky clean At the space closest to the water there's one of those large binocular viewing machines that is free (no quarters necessary!). read more

The A-frame is beautiful in season. An opportunity to enjoy wine and sides with an arms length view of the river. The late afternoon/sunset is particularly breathtaking. It's a bit of a hilly inquiry with a gravel path, so be sure to wear the proper shoes! Otherwise, great for gatherings of all types from a romantic date, to a casual happy hour. read more

Lovely Sunday afternoon at the bistro. They have brunch on Sunday's which looked lovely, but way too much food. I have the Caesar salad which had to be 4 servings and the rum brûlée which was amazing. Our server was very attentive for a group of 8. The view is stunning. Overlooking the river unobstructed views. The bistro was simple and full of light and windows. Totally worth it! read more

For both quality of wine and quality of venue Les Bourgeois is my favorite winery in Missouri. The Blufftop Bistro at Les Bourgeois offers an enjoyable dinning experience and sweeping views of the Missouri River. Their flights of wine are a fun way to sample a wide variety of the vineyard's selection, and their dinner and lunch are both quite good. While you're relaxing in the bistro you might even have the opportunity to witness a wedding ceremony at the winery's perfect bluff-top venue. The A-Frame is located steps away from the bistro and offers a much more casual outdoor venue, with the same incredible views of the Missouri River Valley below. You can order any of the Les Bourgeois wines, as well as picnic baskets of cheese or charcuterie boards to enjoy at one of the many outdoor picnic tables. They also often have live music, making it an excellent place for a relaxing afternoon with friends. If neither of these venues suit your fancy, they also have a third venue located just down the road. This is where the wine is actually produced, and the facility you can tour to witness the process. They also have a front store where you can relax with a glass or bottle of wine as well. I am a white wine drinker myself, and recommend their Solay for a drier option. It is my personal favorite of their wines, but the Vignoles is also great for a slightly sweeter, but very refreshing option. For those who believe you need to travel to Napa Valley to find beautiful vineyards or quality wine, I challenge you to think again. Aside from Les Bourgeois, Missouri has dozens of excellent and beautiful vineyards that compete nationally and internationally with the better known options of Napa. From Augusta, to Herman, to Rocheport, there are some excellent options well worth visiting and Les Bourgeois is one of them. read more

This winery used to be amazing! I have visited it for at least 25 years. We came for a visit today and apparently regulations have changed and they do not allow outside food even though they have a very limited menu. They were carding individuals at the top of the hill, which is fine, and checking bags and purses for food items. And the "bouncer" was quite rude. Not sure if this place is under new management but it leaves a lot to be desired. Skip this winery and go elsewhere! read more

Severely and constantly disappointed with the service provided from the staff. Am met with disrespect each time. For reference I am 22 years and was recently here with my mother with my sorority and multiple parents were bearded and called names involving profanity which in my opinion is completely unprofessional especially when this business is funded by parents and older customers. After I graduate I will never be coming back or ever recommending this winery. When you have a business within a college town you should be aware and accepting of college students when they are providing business. This winery is grossly unprofessional and really need to think about hiring staff that is more appropriate and welcoming to customers. read more

Could tell the guy who served us was new but he was SO HELPFUL and patient as we tried to decide from all the great options what to try. Went with a moscato on tap topped with wine and the frozen sangria. AMAZING. The view is spectacular, what an escape from the day to day. read more

I honestly can't say much about the wine here because A) I'm far from a connoisseur and B) I only tried one kind, but I will say that the location is lovely. Sitting outside on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River is a wonderfully pleasant place to enjoy a glass of wine. We had the Cabernet, which was pretty good in my opinion. read more

This is such a fun place to come! We are not local to here but we have now made three trips out here since the first time we came. We loved it so much. The winery is really cute and has amazing views. If you are down in this area, you absolutely need to stop by this winery! They also run a restaurant a mile or so down the road that is phenomenal. We were able to do a winetasting and the gal who was running our wine tasting was very helpful in figuring out which wines we might enjoy. The bottles of wine were very affordable as well. They had A wonderful selection of products to buy that were wine or cooking related. The last time we went was around Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful. This is a must go to winery! read more

The location is pure gold especially in early evening as the sun sets, and I found the food and service just as good. Dining alone, the staff took extra nice care of me. I had the Steak Tartare which was a revelation with every bite. Really, I had to stop myself from moaning aloud. Paired with a dry red blend at the recommendation of Chef Emily, it was a meal that set a new standard for memorable meals. Front house manager Crystal checked on me periodically to make sure everything was perfect. How can it get any better: great food, service and location? ***** read more

We biked the Katy Trail from the MKT/McBaine trailhead to the winery and it was such a great trip! The trail leads you to a bluff entrance. There is bike parking at the bottom but seeing as we weren't sure what we were getting into, we took our bikes up the ridge with us. At the top, to the left is the Blufftop Bistro and to the right is the winery. The winery was packed but there is tons of seating options. We ordered a snack and a bottle from the A-Frame and settled in to people watch and listen to the music. Only complaint I have is that we are big wine slushie fans, so many people raved about them, but they only have one machine and it wasn't there. The pretzels came out hot and fresh while we were still getting our wine order in and our bottle of Riverboat Red was just what the dr ordered! We did drive back over the next day and enjoy another bottle while in the area and enjoyed the selection we got of that as well. Definitely adding this to one of our favorite spots! read more

Not sure why this place only had 3 stars. We popped in here on a Monday after a warm springs ranch tour. We sampled their wines and liquor. The liquor is VERY strong! I liked all the wines we tried and bought a case (you get 25% off). The manager, Grace, was super nice and friendly! The only downside is that they were out of their picnic baskets and their main restaurant was closed on Monday so we had to drive down the street to their A-frame. Which had really beautiful views, but just had bar/snack food. read more

A pretty blufftop view of the Missouri River Valley can be had from Les Bourgeois. The bistro is absolutely over-priced for what it is and please don't get me started on the wine. It should be said though, that for mid-Missouri, this place is pretty decent. Just try to chase Napa or Sonoma thoughts out of your head before making the drive, or else you will be sorely disappointed. read more

Expect: possibly the most stunning view for a restaurant in the midwest. At sundown this a magical setting with expansive views of the Missouri river and the valley below. A truly spectacular space for dining to boot. Bravo! Applause: for sourcing all of their wine and much of their food locally. I really appreciate that fact. That means you're tasting local flavors, something you won't get off the truck. True, Missouri wines don't *always* stand up well to other areas of the world, but I was very happy with my first tastes of LBV wines, and that included two glasses of the Jeunette Rouge (first one is fine, I'll have another thank you...) to start with the three cheese appetizer (all local) and the American Red with my duck. Don't think the duck was sourced locally but the waitress did confirm the root vegetables that went with it were. Like: the fact that they anticipate a lot of casual and very tired customers that made their way here as a result of the Katy Trail. Myself, I'd hiked 16 miles that day then made the trek from my B&B in Rocheport (mile + away) on foot to catch sundown and dinner. The waitresses were friendly and kept the water glass full (thank you) for the guy in shorts, sneakers and a polo shirt. Treated me first class. Atmosphere: pleasant, romantic, grand... lots of window space to drink in the spectacular view. Come in time to watch the sun set. You won't be disappointed. Dessert: three bon bons in different sauces topped with a glass of surprisingly marvelous blackberry port. Stopped on the way out of town and picked up a bottle for home. And finally, how can you complain about the price? I had an appetizer with wine, another glass of the same, duck entree with root vegetables that was cooked to perfection (with another glass of wine) and dessert with a port wine. Expected over $100. Total bill: $70. Yes, they have a young staff and that can at times result in mixed service as is indicated by some of the reviews, but go with a good attitude, relax, and enjoy the time with someone special. How someone can get here and not have an exceptional experience alludes me. I had a marvelous time and will be back with family and friends. We'd all be better off with more restaurants attempting to do with LBV is doing. read more

This review is for the A-Frame. We got the picnic basket, a glass of wine and a beer. The picnic basket was very good with the exception of the apple, which was a Granny Smith, which is extremely tart and not our fave, but it was freshly cut and looked fine. The grapes, pita bread, salami, peperoni, crackers and cheeses were all very good. 4 Star! Since we shared the picnic basket, we thought we could get just a little bit more so we decided to get a bratwurst to share. It was awful...just mush. We couldn't eat it and just threw it away. 1 star. The view, band, and service were all very good...4 star. We will come back but I doubt I get anything from the grill unless it is cooked to order. read more

Marilyn was a good guide to these local wines when we came to the tasting room/gift shop. She shared tasting notes and fun stories about the origins of some of the unusual grape varietals. The guided tours are only available on weekends, but you can usually wander the production areas and cellar on your own. Say hi to the two cute kitties! The bistro, a mile up the road, is a nice place for lunch. The view is good, as is the food. Service was fine, if a little over-eager. The interior looks pretty, but a close look suggests it was built quickly--the main window appear to leak a bit in heavy rain. Your lunch receipt will get you 15% off bottles at the tasting room, or you can buy them to-go at higher prices but 20% off in the bistro. (Roughly equivalent cost in the end.) Overall, an unexpected and pleasant diversion on the drive from Kansas City to St. Louis. TRIVIA: Wine grapes are, not surprisingly, highly vulnerable to birds and critters when they are nearly ripe. What's interesting is that raccoons will eat every grape they can reach, but do NOT eat the skins! read more

On a Thursday night a friend of mine and I decided last minute to go try this place out and so we did. We got there at about 8pm (close at 9) and found they place not busy at all. Only 1 other large group was present. The both of us ordered the Osso Bucco which is a pork shoulder entree. It came with a basket of bread which was pretty dry if I say so myself. We were served fairy quickly and our server was very tentative besides forgetting to bring out my friends lemonade when my coke was brought out. Small issue. The entree was a good sized glazed pork shoulder, bone in, along with a bed of rice (the thick rice grains) and a cheese sauce of some kind which was quite good. It also had a small side of cooked collard greens as well which although good was gone in 2 bites. After removing the fat from the pork and separating the bone out there was maybe 7-8oz of meat on the shoulder which is much less then it looks when it comes out. I was certainly still full when finished but just letting people know its not ALL meat on that thing. The room was a little cold for my liking but not terrible. My friend also said it felt a little chilly in the room. The 2 dishes cost about 51 dollars combined which for what we got was high. Portions mostly. Taste was great. I feel as though a very similar meal for much less could be had at a steakhouse like Longhorns. Until I try more of their menu I cant say if this is true for all of their items. read more

Disclaimer: I'm probably a teensy bit partial to Les Bourgeois because my great-grandfather once owned the land it sits on. That said, I've never had a meal here I didn't love, and today was no exception. In fact, it was the best so far because we ordered cocktails and dessert as well as lunch. Mizzou homecoming weekend meant a 30 minute wait, so we stepped to the bar and ordered drinks from a list of artisan cocktails that's new since my last visit. My friend ordered a Pumpkin Spice martini that was creamy and delicious without being overly sweet. I gambled on the "Nor-hattan", the winery's riff on my favorite cocktail: Crown Royal, their Norton wine, Cinzano, and orange bitters. It was amazing! The wine softened the astringency of the bitters and vermouth without changing the character of the drink. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and salad. The roast pork stood was tender and flavorful with tart pickles made either in house or locally. The small salad was fine, but after a taste of my friend's, I was kicking myself for not getting the butternut squash soup. I fear squash anything for being sweet and mushy, but this stuff was incredible! It was completely savory, think cumin and other Mediterranean seasonings. We offered to pay the waiter off for the recipe but came away empty, dammit. Good stuff!, as was the dessert we couldn't resist-in essence a carrot cake parfait topped with an enormous gingersnap. Perfect for fall! It's a lot classier place than you'd think you'd find on the edge of a tiny town in central Missouri, and the service is always polished. The quality of the food isn't surprising when you see the list of farmers from the surrounding God's Country that they buy from. The restaurant sits on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River and the views, especially from a window table, are stunning. So maybe Missouri wine isn't Burgundy or Bordeaux, but I like Les Bourgeois Solay and Norton. You can buy it at the restaurant or at their gift shop as you head back to I-70 and home. Definitely worth a day trip! read more

My family has been stopping here for many years on our way to see family in Illinois to have a snack and glass of wine. We pulled in today after hours on the road driving in the pouring rain and parked quickly on the side as close as we could get as I am pregnant and needed to use the restroom as soon as possible. Before we could even reach the door a man working inside came out and began verbally assaulting us screaming at my mother and I asking who we thought we were and where we came from to do something like that and how stupid we were (parking where we did) we apologized and apologized but he continued to berate us and then another female employee came out to yell at us as well. I can't believe we had to endure this and on Mother's Day. We left immediately and in tears and will not be coming back. What a horrible and traumatizing experience. read more

We stopped here before going to the Warm Springs Ranch for lunch and it was such a great decision. The grounds are beautiful and the view of the river is so amazing. The wine, the food, the staff all made the experience so great. We ordered so much food- the cheese plate, hand made pretzels, shrimp tacos, pizza, salads - you name it! Our entrees were all wonderful but those pretzels were the table favorite! I also want to mention that the tacos were so fresh but definitely a sharable dish! I also did the wine tasting and it was great to taste the range they had to offer. I would recommend a stop here if you are in the area. They will not disappoint you! read more

Lady brought me here for my birthday dinner. Just a short drive from the b&b we were staying. Reservations recommended which we did and were promptly seated at our time. Place looks great. Slight walk down from the parking lot but worth it. Definitely bluff top. Ordered some wine based on the servers recommendation. Also ordered the Gorgonzola cheesecake appetizer. Very savory with house baked bread and highly flavorful tomato spread. Really good. This is a seasonal menu place so expect options to change. We both went with the ribeye. Came with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. We both agreed it was very good. A great place to visit on a romantic weekend getaway. The Good Made to order food. Season menu. Excellent service. The Bad Nada this place was great. The Ugly Again nada. Worth the visit. read more

The view alone is well worth the stop, but you' ll be pleasantly surprised by the upscale eclectic cuisine at this charming bistro, perched high atop the bluffs of the Missouri river. The main dining area is wall to wall views of the languid Missouri river. The timber frame manages to give a warmth to the room in spite of all the glass. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the prices quite reasonable for a meal of this quality. For the locavores out there...you'll be happy to note the many references to local sourcing. Live music and special events are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the restaurant for info. Now to the heart of the issue...the food! As a starter my dining companion and I chose the Pork Belly and Shrimp Spring Rolls with sriracha mustard and an agradolce dipping sauce! Well, be still my heart! I am in love. My inner Goddess is caterwauling! Next up...the soup course: Braised pork stew with cavatelli and caraway creme fraiche. Once again, very tasty. I will say, though, that chef is a huge carnivore because the amount of pork could feed a family of 5. Last, but not least, the entrée. Hand rolled cavatelli with chorizo and peppers. Lovely pasta. Same enormous portion of chorizo! Now...this could be a selling point for some, but I prefer more veggies. All in all, a sumptuous lunch set in a beautiful setting. A must stop for all road weary travelers and carnivores! read more
