Mount Pleasant Winery’s new location in Branson is more than just a fabulous place to sample great wines. It is a wine shop, art gallery and hands-on bottling experience all rolled into one. Besides touring the facility and tasting award-winning wines, visitors to the Branson winery have the unique opportunity to bottle their own dessert wine from a specially designed 600-gallon French oak barrel. The 12-ounce bottles of wine make a great souvenir or gift with a personal touch, and at only $9.99 an inexpensive one, too.
“Bottling their own wine allows our guests to be a part of the winemaking process,” said Rob McCormick, General Manager of Mount Pleasant Winery in Branson. “People are having a lot of fun with it.”
Another great feature of Mount Pleasant Winery in Branson is its tasting galleries, where more than wine is on display. Currently, the tasting galleries are featuring the works of two renowned Missouri artists—glass artisan Sam Stang and folk artist Brian Hynes. Patrons can peruse these local artists’ incredible artwork while they enjoy their wine and can purchase the artists’ pieces at the winery.
