Adam Puchta Winery - Hermann

We did the elevated tasting experience and had such a lovely time! Lee took great care of us and the wine is FANTASTIC! Best in Hermann in my opinion! And what's better than a winery with cats?

I had a wonderful time at Adam Puchta winery. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the tasting room was cozy and inviting, and the wines were delicious. They have some of my favorite Missouri wines, especially the Norton and the Vignoles. Adam's Choice is my all-time favorite! I also enjoyed their cheese and sausage platter, which paired well with the wines. The winery has a lot of history and charm, and I loved learning about their family tradition and heritage. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and I had a lovely picnic on their lawn with a bottle of wine. I highly recommend Adam Puchta winery to anyone who loves wine and wants to support a local business.

Having lived in the Northern California Bay Area for years with Napa just a stone's throw away, I somewhat hesitantly came to Hermann to taste the wines. I quickly realized the error of my preconceived notions. Adam Puchta offers a large variety from dry to sweet, both red and white, so every member of our party could taste something new and something they knew they'd enjoy. We purchased a few bottles and cannot wait to share them. One note: when tasting both reds and whites, I might suggest getting two glasses. Some whites ended up with a bit of red in them which might have affected the tasting.

I can’t speak highly enough about the woman who did our tasting, and we totally failed at asking her name! (She’s retired military and lives in Jeff City, I hope this helps!! She did an absolutely fabulous overview of not only the wines, took her time talking to us and didn’t rush our tastings, but she also told us the history of the winery and Hermann itself. We walked away feeling like we understood the town better, and with a bigger appreciation for the winery. The wines were great, and the seating outside was extensive. We were worried about it being “one of the big trolley stops” and being crowded with drunk bachelorette partiers. While that may have been the case, if it was, we didn’t even notice. We really enjoyed our time there and talked in detail about coming back with friends and just spending the entire day there.

Fun atmosphere that highlights sweet wines. Nothing serious or complicated to the palate. There pairings are playful and the experience is joyful. You’ll leave with a smile for sure.
