150 years ago, German immigrants opened a small winery in nearby Hermann, Missouri, soon becoming the second largest winery in the U.S. (This was many years before Napa became a leader in the industry). For years they thrived, garnering award after award and becoming famous all over the world, until the dark days of Prohibition shut them down, forcing the owners to turn to mushrooms to make their living. Fortunately, prohibition soon failed, but the immigrants continued with their mushroom livelihood and Stone Hill Winery seemed to be relegated to the history books forever. In 1965, however, Jim and Betty Held bought the winery, restored, renovated, and reopened the doors of our favorite place on Earth, and today they are once again producing award winning wines that have gained international acclaim!
