7 Springs Winery at the Lake of the Ozarks

On a recent trip to the Lake of the Ozarks we visited 7 Springs Winery which is located off of HWY 54 at the same exit you use to access Big Surf.  The winery was about four winding miles and in the middle of nowhere.  Our expectations were very low.  However, we were very impressed with the beauty of the setting and the wine.  Both were excellent.  I highly recommend you visit this winery if you are in the area or even as a day trip.

The parking lot was empty.  We were the first to arrive at eleven a.m.  The place started to fill up around noon.

From the terrace, you can see a good deal of seating at the bottom of the hill from where the main building is located.

 The food was very good.  We just ordered a bread plate with three different kinds of bread and three different kinds of dipping sauce.

A pavilion for outside events.

Jenifer and I each tasted four wines and they were all good.  This winery is definitely worth the time and trouble it takes to get there and the whole facility was tastefully appointed.

There is a lot to do in Missouri, a lot to do around Columbia, and it can be experienced for a relatively modest amount of time and money.
