I had a limited amount of time in Hermann and was told this was the winery to visit if my interest was wines and not setting or ambiance. The advice proved correct. Bought many more than I intended.

wine was decent, but the tasting was like herding cattle

Favorite Wine: Norton

Staff was fantastic! I really enjoyed pairing wines with little "snacks." Truly helped my husband finally figure out how food and wine pairings work!

Favorite Wine: Norton

This is the first winery that I visited on my Hermann trip, and it did not disappoint. I believe that it is the state's longest running winery. The Norton is well made, complex. The staff is also very helpful. I would however expect a nicer winery to match the history of the winery.

Favorite Wine: Reifenstahl

My favorite winery ever so far. Great staff and wines that will make a fan out of anyone. The patio area wasn't all that great, but the wines made up for it.

Favorite Wine: Port

Our favorite Hermann winery, hands-down. Can't say enough great things about the staff here. Owner was onsite and invited us to sit with him. Wine was very good. If you like very sweet wine, don't miss the Jazzberry.

very charming place, very friendly staff, it was nice they explained each and everything we tried along with a different snack referenced with the wine. We bought the trimenette.

Favorite Wine: Vignoles

We've visited Adam Puchta several times and for us it is the sweet wines they seem to do best. We really think their Vignoles is above all other sweet style Vignoles. My wife also likes Adam's Choice but it is too sweet for me. This time areound we purchased Traminette and Misty Valley. For the really sweet, the Jazz Berry is an incredible Raspberry adventure. But I could never drink a whole glass of it as it is so sweet. Moving to the drier end of the spectrum, we have always read good things from other reviewers but our experience in the past for the dry reds here was so-so to the raisiny category especially for the Norton. This time the Norton was much better for us. But as this was our last day in nine days of Norton discovery, much better was not good enough to sway us off of our finds earlier in the week nor old standards from years gone by. It was a solid and good middle of the pack. I really like this winery and the owners. As a result, I really want to find what others are finding in the reds at Adam Puchta that I seem to be missing. Next time we visit, I think we are going to just spend a few hours here with a bottle of reserve, let it breathe, relax and see if the wine doesn't enlighten us. Which brings me to my last comment. I wish the seating area was a little more inviting or something. I can't really put my finger on what is missing. But our trips to this winery always seem to start with great expectations and experiences in the tasting area and then it seems to be a little bit of a gradual let down in the store and then to the seating area. Perhaps food service or meats and cheeses. Perhaps different seating areas or arrangements with some more private areas too? Something to say "Welcome, stay here, relax and enjoy yourself." I like this winery. I just want to like it more. We never visit the the area without stopping at Adam Puchta.

A very charming little building on the grounds of a very old vineyard. The dry red wines were mediocre, and the barista really didn't feel like engaging much with us. They offer sweet wine that is likely popular, but I never try those so I can't review them. I respect the winery, but the wines were thin and medium bodied and the bottles had been opened for too long.

Favorite Wine: Norton

Norton Wine Review: One of Missouri's very best Norton wines. Out of 66 Norton wines tried so far from eleven states, Adam Puchta's Norton wine ranks in our top five choices. Need I say more? Drink today or put away for a few years. Remember to always let Norton wines breathe at least 30 minutes or so before drinking. While you are there, don't forget to try their exceptional Chardonel wine.

The Adam Puchta Winery is a perfect example of what wine tasting in Missouri is all about. The wines range from sweet to semi-dry and the staff is always happy to chat about their wine.
