Beautiful scenery, lots of seating, delicious wine, great service, and great food options. Had an amazing time at my first MO winery experience
As others have stated, the views are lovely. There’s a nice ambiance and spacious outdoor space. Live music was a nice treat! We ordered a bottle of wine and were surprised to learn that there was an additional charge for an ice bucket to keep the wine cool AND an additional charge for an actual wine glass (otherwise, you’re stuck with a plastic cup). Never seen that before at a winery. The wine was decent and the pretzel/charcuterie board was good, but those weird up-charges put a damper on the experience.
We had an amazing time!! Great location!! Instaed of driving over to IL, we have tons of wineries here in Augusta aka Defiance West Mo...the wine selection was huge we all hv differ taste pallets, we ordered tons of food 4 bottles & enjoyed live music & 1 of our very own songstress!! We were bold enough to sit outside during the peak of Cicada season; this was a huge challenge for me, but they stayed away or I seen them coming, dodging flying bugs!! But, I truly enjoyed Montelle Winery!! Montelle is conveniently located & close enough for daily visits for me; when the weather permits!!!!
This winery is on top of a hill and has a gorgeous view of the surrounding trees and land. When you enter the building, there is a tasting bar, then behind it is the check out counter. The whole process of paying and ordering was a little confusing but we eventually figured it out. At the checkout counter you can place your food order, pay for wine samples, and buy bottles of wine (and other drinks they have in upright coolers behind the checkout area). They have chilled bottles of wine if you are wanting to drink them there, and they also have non chilled ones if you are getting them to go. For the food, they give you a buzzer, and then you go to the pick up window the pick it up when it is ready. Ours took about 30 minutes. There are glasses at the check out to use to drink your wine from. I had to ask about them, the cashier did not offer them to me. Also at the check out counter you can pay for samples, then you take your receipt to the sample bar and show them and they will give your samples. It's 10 dollars for 4 samples. There are lots of seats out on their decks. They have limited covered seating. The views are gorgeous. Once you get your food and wine you go find a seat. Seats are just first come first serve. Just look for an open one or look for people that are about to leave. We brought our wine out to the table and wondered why we didn't get one of those ice bucket to keep the wine chilled. Later we saw that another table got them from somewhere inside and found out they were 2.50 a piece. As for food, I got the house salad and we got 2 of the baked brie for the table. We also got the jumbo pretzel that had cheese cubes, grapes and salami in the inner open sections of the pretzel. Everyone at the table also ordered sandwiches and salads for themselves. It was definitely enough food for a group of 7 (too much! Lol) I loved the baked Brie and the jumbo pretzel dipped in the cheese was soooo good! There were a lot of bees and my friends boyfriend got stung! They would not leave us alone! If you have food, you will have bees visiting your table.
The view was gorgeous, and the service was great! We did a wine and spirit tasting, and our guy did an outstanding job in describing each and providing some history behind each tasting. He also explained the trolley, which we will definitely do on our next trip.

Sip, savor, and soak in breathtaking hilltop views at Augusta's premier winery destination.
