Chaumette Vineyards & Winery

Established in 1990 by Hank and Jackie Johnson, Chaumette Vineyards & Winery is located in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, home of the first colonial settlement on the west side of the Mississippi River by the French in the early 1750’s. Chaumette sits on 310 acres of land, 30 acres of which are grapevines, approximately seventy miles south of St. Louis, in the Ozark Mountain American Viticultural Area. Here at Chaumette, we are dedicated to handcrafting award-winning wines of distinction, and our diverse portfolio reflects the finest examples in breadth and depth of Midwest wine, capable of competing in the international marketplace. We grow varieties such as Norton, Missouri’s state grape; Chardonel, a hybrid of Chardonnay; Traminette, similar in style to one of its parent grapes, Gerwurztraminer; Chambourcin and Vignoles, all French-American hybrids. Chaumette is a boutique winery, producing mostly dry wines, with some semi-dry, off-dry and semi-sweet styles as well as vintage port and late harvest wines in some years. Chaumette Winery is a premier wine resort destination, with private villas for overnight stays, a pool and a full-service restaurant, among more traditional winery amenities. Chaumette’s Tasting Room is open to the public year-round and offers live entertainment outdoors in warmer months. To make reservations at our Grapevine Grill or for a villa stay, call 573-747-1000.
