About Us
Augusta Winery, located in the scenic town of Augusta on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River Valley, was established in 1988 by Tony Kooyumjian.
The town was founded in 1836 by Leonard Harold, one of Daniel Boone’s followers to St. Charles County, and became settled by predominantly German homesteaders. In 1980, Augusta was recognized as the first U.S. Wine District, or Viticultural Area #1, because of its unique soil, climate, historical significance, and quality of wines produced from grapes grown in vineyards that date to the 1800s. In 1998, Mr. Kooyumjian purchased the Montelle Winery, which was founded in 1970 and is known for its spectacular views and on-site chef.
Product Description
The Augusta Wine Company produces fine Missouri wines grown in the 1st Viticultural Area in the U.S. These wines are estate grown, meaning we control the wines from the planting of the vines and harvesting of the grapes all the way through to the production and bottling. We grow varietals such as Norton, Chambourcin, Chardonel, Vidal Blanc, Seyval Blanc, and Vignoles.
