Looking for something truly special to do during your stay in Hermann Wine Country?
If you're craving a rich, relaxing experience that goes beyond the typical tasting room, let us introduce you to one of our personal favorites: the Elevated Tasting Events at Adam Puchta Winery.
This isn’t just a wine tasting—it’s a journey through seven generations of Missouri winemaking, hosted in one of the most charming and historic spaces in the region. And it’s a perfect pairing with your stay at The Mercantile on the Katy Trail.
A One-of-a-Kind Setting: The Historic Press House
The Elevated Tasting experience is held inside Adam Puchta’s original Press House, located just off the Frene Creek at their scenic property on the outskirts of Hermann.
This rustic yet refined space is where grapes were once pressed in the early days of the winery's 165+ year legacy. With its exposed beams, wine barrels, and warm ambiance, the Press House sets the tone for an authentic and immersive tasting unlike any other. It’s both a step back in time and a front-row seat to modern Missouri winemaking excellence.
What to Expect from an Elevated Tasting
Guided by one of Adam Puchta Winery’s trained wine stewards, you’ll enjoy:
A curated tasting of six award-winning wines
A beautifully arranged, locally sourced charcuterie board
Insightful storytelling about the Puchta family, their 7th-generation legacy, and the pivotal role this winery played in Hermann’s and Missouri’s winemaking history
It’s a chance to slow down, connect, and truly savor wine in a meaningful, intimate environment.
