Escape the riverfront for the rolling vineyards of the Missouri River wine country on a perfectly curated private excursion with Cape Girardeau's top-rated local tour operator. Rated a perfect 5.0, this is the region's most luxurious wine-tasting experience available from the port.
What to expect
Your private vehicle departs the riverfront and winds into the Missouri countryside, where boutique family vineyards produce award-winning Norton and Chardonel wines largely unknown outside the state. At each estate, a seated tasting is arranged in advance, with the winemaker or estate manager often on hand to discuss their craft personally. Artisan cheese and charcuterie accompaniments make the afternoon feel like a European wine-country escape. The return drive follows scenic rural roads back to Cape Girardeau well before all-aboard.
Good to know
Book directly with Vines 2 Wines well in advance as private slots fill quickly. Confirm your all-aboard time and share it with the operator so they can build the itinerary accordingly. Allow 4–5 hours for a full private excursion.
