Trolley pickup is about a 45 min drive from downtown Kansas City. Trolley seats comfortably 30 people on wooden benches. Once the whole group was seated the driver filled us in on driving times, and rules. You can't bring your own food or drink to the wineries. I'm not a fan of this rule. The tour lasted about 5 hours most of which wine is consumed, making water and food a must. Out of the 3 wineries none offered complimentary water, one had a pizza food truck, one had a limited supply of cheese and crackers and one was a general store that sold nick knacks, our second stop wasnt a winery at all but a ' tasting room'. From what I could tell the trolley had no AC. The weather was nice in the low 70's so we put down the Windows only to get covered in a thick layer of dust , the wineries are off of dirt roads. The driver told us it can get dusty though which was an understatement. Conversation is in the yelling range as it seems were riding along in the belly of the engine. Along with the wide variety of music being blasted. If you do purchase wine it must be left on the trolley. We were dropped off at the 3 spots and had about an hour at each with about 20 min drive in between. Wine tastings range 8-5$ per person. Bottles on average run about $15. I had a blast with my group and it was nice to be safely driven so we could all enjoy the wine. Next time I would drive myself and only visit Somerset and Nighthawk. I will buy the food they have available but I will bring my own in addition to lots of water. If you have food allergies bring your own food.

My guest and I popped in here to buy a bottle or two to-go..we ended up staying for a couple hours and walked out with a whole box of different wines! We met one of the owners (who was the kindest soul!) and we ended up staying for a wine tasting. Would totally recommend doing a tasting, all of their wines are delightful so you should really try a variety! Being in Kansas City and in the middle of the United States I wasn't sure what to expect from this wine bar, but the owners are from Oregon and actually grow their grapes more like they do on the West Coast. I learned a lot talking to the owners and staff here, they are very knowledgeable and definitely not pretentious! They also do wine slushies and sangrias which are so tasty! We got a couple to-go to enjoy while watching a movie back at our Airbnb. They had a lovely spot for outdoor seating and the vibe here was great. I am 100% coming back here again when I'm in Kansas City!! This place was the best!! Thank you for such an amazing time!

Being an Independence resident, but knowing somewhat about the history of Kansas City (my dad…read moreworked for KCPL for 35 years, and used to take me up and down those streets), I was vaguely familiar with some of the history. It's quite fascinating. But the little bits and pieces I didn't realize were so deeply important. I'd only been to 2 of the locations on the food tour, Grinders, and Grunaer's. That is funny cause I thought I'd been to more places around the area. The American Royal Parade was going on, and parking was an issue, if I'd not found a spot in Grinder's across the street parking lot, I don't know what I'd have done. I never intend to learn to parallel park. It scares me to death. We met Rebekkah at Grinders, and she presented us with maps of where we were going, with facts on the pages. Frankly, it'd be easier to park kind of in the middle of the tour. That maybe something worth mentioning. I don't know the significance of the Crossroads itself, other than I am drawn to that area, as opposed to the Power and Light District which I try to avoid. There is alot of history in the Crossroads that is important, and it was touched upon in this tour. It also gave me an idea to keep an eye out for other city's walking food tours, as I travel sometimes for a month. I felt like I wanted to know more history. I wanted to dig deeper. I don't know why I feel this way. Maybe I want to know the very importance of the area, besides Tom Pendegrast, which is extremely interesting. The tour touched on a few restaurants along the way. There were a couple I wondered why they weren't mentioned, and I'd love to know the history of the Manny's Building, though Manny's isn't a favorite of mine, the building is interesting. And why is Town Topics just in this area? And Lulu's? Hammer Press as well, even though it's not a place to eat...oh well, can't cover everything...I thought there was something missed, but also alot of interesting history gained. As far as food, each place provided a very small amount. A variety was present and they were able to accomodate both vegetarians and meat eaters. There isn't that much food. I would tell someone that, as well. The places that stood out in my mind were Snow and Company, Grinders, Elbow's and Cafe Gratitude. Tons of walking to get back to our cars. We stopped back at Christoper Elbow Chocolate. Rebekkah created a customer out of me, and I will be eating at Cafe Gratitude and going to Snow and Company. With these thoughts in mind, I would recommend this to an out of towner if you were in the city for a while. But be prepared to eat afterwards. it's a great way to find out about Kansas city and what it has to offer. Knowing the history of Kansas City makes me appreciate it a bit more.

When I think of Missouri, I don't know initially think "awesome wineries!" But after this weekend's…read morevisit to Amigoni, I can't wait to show visitors this stunning winery with delicious wines! As part of a birthday party, we joined some friends at Amigoni for the first stop, and we all loved the ambiance (stunning, calm, lovely staff) so much that we stayed over 3 hours! We sat in the back bar/barrel room area (back bar was closed that day), but it was a great space for a larger group to be able to spread out and not take up all the space in the front bar area. The barrels gave the room a cozy feel! I'm a fan of wine, but a lot of our friends are not huge wine drinkers--so while they have a lot of great wine to taste (I'll get to that soon!), they also have local drafts and non alcoholic options for your friends/family members who aren't into wine or who don't drink. For their wines, when I went on a Saturday they had two wine flight options, which the staff said they change about every two weeks! I got the basic flight to get a better idea of their standard wines, and I wasn't disappointed with any of them--and as others have noted, they are pretty heavy with their tasting pours, just FYI! I was able to try the Urban White Blend (chardonnay and viognier), Cabernet Franc Rose (one of their original makes from the early days), Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and the Select (petit verdot and tannat). All were lovely and delicious! Thanks to everyone at Amigoni Winery who made the birthday celebration special, cozy, and delightful! Can't wait to go back and enjoy more wines next time!

A winery? In Kansas City? I don't know what possessed me into going here; I'm not an oenologist but…read moreI'm pretty certain it was going to be worse than the garbage I've tried on Long Island so why not give it a try? The space was in a pretty quiet street, across from a pretty non-descript office building. I wasn't expecting too much inside but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the interior had much more personality than the outside. The interior had high ceilings, the bar was on the left and before we sidled up to the bar we explored the space. There was an upstairs space that looked down into the lobby and the rear area had a bar and was also nicely decorated. The rear area had a little more people so we decided to go back up front. We decided to do both of the tasting options and share. I enjoyed the limited production tasting better and the reds over the whites. Like with a lot of tastings, the wine club was pushed but since I was only staying one more day I wasn't interested. However, our host did give us a taste of the T10 which I enjoyed so much that I bought a bottle of that. I shared it with some people who know and enjoy wine and they were also pleasantly surprised with it.

Fairly small, we skipped by a few times, boy we didn't know what we were missing. After seeing it in business for a number of months, we finally stopped in... so happy we did! Love their weekly 6-for-$60. Always a great deal, have always enjoyed their selections. We aren't huge wine club people but we've maintained this one for sure. We enjoy the monthly selections and usually end up arguing at who gets the last glass! The best part is the special attention to details the owner can assist you in finding... if you want a certain / specific wine, he is more than accommodating and helpful. I feel it important to call it out and remind folks, this is a locally owned and operated business in the heart of our delightful neighborhood. Appreciate it for what it is and SUPPORT LOCAL. Give the owners the credit for what they are providing us... a lovely spot in the heart of our neighborhood where we can procure some lovely wines. Ryan - you've done well, Sir! Congrats on keeping small business alive in our community!
