Valentine’s Day is coming, and if you’re single, you’ve probably already planned your annual pity party: Netflix, ice cream, and scrolling through dating apps wondering if the algorithm is broken. Stop it.
This February, it’s time to ditch the screens, grab your single friends, and head to Hermann, MO. Why? Because the charming wineries, breweries, and distilleries might just have what you’re looking for—and no, it’s not just wine. It’s LOVE, baby.
And The Mercantile on the Katy Trail is here to be your cozy HQ and pregame spot for this grand romantic experiment.
Ladies, It’s Galentine’s Day—With a Twist
We get it. You and your girls were planning a wholesome Galentine’s getaway: wine tasting, bonding over your shared hatred of ghosters, and discussing how you "don’t even care about dating anymore." But let’s get real—you DO care. So why not turn this wine-fueled retreat into an actual opportunity to meet someone?
Fun fact: Hermann is full of breweries and distilleries—and guess what? That’s where the men are hiding. Yes, ladies, the brew bros are out there. Shock of shocks! They’re real, and they’re probably sipping a stout or debating which bourbon has the smokiest flavor profile. Who knew?
Gentlemen, Put the Tinder Down
Guys, we need to talk. Scrolling through your phone and swiping right isn’t doing you any favors. If you’re serious about meeting someone, you’ve got to get out there. So, why not grab your single bros and head to Hermann?
The wineries are overflowing with groups of fabulous, wine-loving women having Galentine’s Day trips. Yes, they’re single. Yes, they’re gorgeous. And yes, they’re looking. Your craft beer knowledge could finally become the icebreaker you never knew it could be.
Imagine a Singles Playground at The Mercantile
Now, here’s a concept that’ll blow your mind: Imagine if all the single guys and all the single girls booked their stay at The Mercantile. Gasp! Suddenly, you’re in a singles playground where you can mingle, chat, and maybe even share a drink with someone new. Who knew meeting people could be so easy? Wow. It’s practically foolproof—as long as you show up and talk to someone, of course.
Cozy Winter Conversations Without the Crowds
Here’s the genius of February in Hermann: the crowds are gone. No noisy summer tourists. No jam-packed tasting rooms. Just you, your friends, and some amazing local libations. It’s the perfect setting for a quality conversation. Imagine locking eyes with someone across the bar and actually being able to hear them ask, “So, what’s your favorite brewery?” This is the stuff of rom-coms, people.
What Makes Hermann Great for Singles?
Wineries: Ladies, this is your playground. From Stone Hill Winery to Adam Puchta, there are endless opportunities to sip, swirl, and "accidentally" bump into someone cute.
Breweries: Gentlemen, this is where you thrive. Tin Mill Brewery is calling your name, and it’s full of gals who’ve just wandered over from a wine tasting. Coincidence? We think not.
Distilleries: For those who prefer something a little stronger, Hermann’s distilleries offer a sophisticated vibe and an endless supply of whiskey-fueled confidence.
Cozy Restaurants: Share an appetizer. Split a dessert. Find out if they’re as cool as their bourbon order.
Walkable Charm: Hermann is small, walkable, and brimming with character. It’s the perfect setting for bumping into someone again and again…and again. So make it a weekend to give yourselves quality time.
The Mercantile: Your HQ and Pregame Spot
Here’s the deal. The Mercantile on the Katy Trail is your ultimate Valentine’s Day base. Cozy suites, warm vibes, and plenty of space to pregame with your friends before you hit the town. Settle in, pour a drink, and strategize your evening with your crew. It’s the perfect HQ to unwind after a day of mingling and exploring Hermann’s romantic charm.
And if you don’t meet anyone? Well, at least you’ll have your squad, a clawfoot tub, and the satisfaction of knowing you put yourself out there. Who knows? Maybe the next time you stay at The Mercantile, you’ll be renting the Vaudeville Suite with your new Boo or honey—back where it all started, one fine singles trip in February in Hermann.
