Lindwedel Wine Garden

Lindwedel Wine Garden was opened in November 2007 by Kim and Stephen Lindwedel, who moved from the St. Louis area to the Ozarks in 1995 and later bought 15 acres just west of Branson, Missouri. The original Highway 265 location sits on rolling hills with views over the west end of Branson's Highway 76 "The Strip" and the Shepherd of the Hills Inspiration Tower. A second tasting room operates at Branson Landing. The winery produces all of its wines on site from Missouri-grown vineyards. Its lineup includes Norton, Chambourcin, Syrah, Vidal, Seyval, Valvin Muscat, Catawba, and Concord, along with Chardonel and fruit wines such as blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and peach. Standouts include the Norton aged 18 months in American oak, the Vidal made entirely from Ozark Mountain AVA grapes, and several bourbon-barrel-aged releases. Visitors can sample wines by the flight, choosing five or ten two-ounce pours. Snacks are available, and guests may bring their own food to the Highway 265 location. The winery does not take reservations.
