Featuring Missouri Wines and Artisan Cheeses, The Missouri Wine Festival, one of the many events featured in Ozark Mountain Spring, is a two day celebration of the National and Inter-National recognition of wines produced in the state of Missouri. Saturday and Sunday, April 25 & 26, at The Chateau on the Lake Resort, the exhibit hall will open for tastings of Missouri Wines from many of the nearly 80 wineries located in the Show Me State. Exhibitors also include artisan cheese makers, chocolatiers, gourmet foods, and fine cigars for the aficionado. Live music will be performed all day, both days.
Medals will be awarded by our panel of wine experts to the outstanding label in multiple varietals and there will be a juried targeted art show sponsored by The Branson Arts Council. The days are filled with samples, seminars and demonstrations. Learn from the experts how to pair the right wine with the right dish. Cooking with wine demonstrations by an award winning chef. Plus, each night at 7 pm, there will be a gourmet dinner paired with a different wine selection for each course, prepared by The Chateau’s own Head Chef, Doug Knopp, winner of Wine Spectator Magazine’s "Award of Excellence".
Daily admission includes a tasting journal, to record your favorite labels, and a collector tasting glass. Complete details of all the activities are available at www.mowinefest.com .
