Christine's Vineyard

Christine's Vineyard in Webb City, Missouri, pairs Missouri-grown Norton reds with a country setting that gives visitors reasons to linger: a patio, vineyard walks, and a stocked pond where fishing is welcome. Ben and Janette Cade, owners since 2022, run the winery as both a wine stop and a gathering place. Three acres of cultivated vines anchor the property, with trees and open spaces rounding out the setting.

Norton deserves attention here, particularly for drinkers interested in comparing oak treatments. The dry red 4 Aces ages with American oak, while Royal Flush ages with French oak; Midnight Stroll offers another dry Norton option. Missouri-grown Chambourcin also figures in the winemaking, while Date Night and Starlit Kiss cater to sweeter tastes. Four- or six-glass flights and complimentary samples let visitors explore without committing to a full glass.

The Webb City location suits a leisurely afternoon as much as a tasting stop. Thin-crust pizza, quesadillas, wine slushies, and weekend live music broaden the appeal for mixed groups. Children and leashed pets are welcome. Walk-ins need no reservation, though parties of 10 or more can reserve. Visiting centers on Friday evenings and weekends from March through October, with shorter Saturday and Sunday afternoons in winter.
