louis p. balducci vineyards

Loved this winery! Very clean, great selection of wines. Great menu for snacks, lunch and anything in between. Very beautiful grounds and extremely friendly staff. we will definitely be back!

Wow! I had no idea there would be so many people here with their picnic baskets just enjoying the sunny day. We had no waiting for wine tasting so that was a relief. They had a live band playing and it was not too loud so that was good. There were some obviously unruly or drunk people around so may need to be careful and not bring kids. We liked the samples and this winery so we will be back.

We had a wonderful time sitting outside and enjoying our dinner. The grounds are nice and the staff friendly.

The deep dish pizza is fabulous. We also had a tasty side salad and the chiaretto red wine was perfect with it. It was cold and rainy outside, but cozy and comfortable in the dining area. The service was friendly and attentive and we had a wonderful time with our friends!

I love this winery and chose to get a bottle of Norton to enjoy while musicians played for us. Spectacular staff and service at this beautiful property! MUCH LOVE! ! !

Balducci Vineyards is off the beaten path and a little rustic. Tons of seating scattered around, including on a patio slab under a generous tent, cooled by large fans. The tasting is low-key and free.A nice feature of Balducci's is that you can bring in lunch. They also offer fresh food service. Our group brought their own food, but we also indulged in their 12" meat lover's pizza. Excellent nosh that went perfectly with their tasty semi-dry, the Sonata. We'll be back.

Surprisingly not all that busy which is nice for a nice quiet evening for two. The deep dish pizza was delicious, along with a bottle of wine!!!!

We stopped at Balducci's Vineyard's after a nice drive. Pennsylvania Slim and his band were playing great songs. The wine we bought to enjoy the afternoon was refreshing.

My husband and I visit this winery about 8 times a year. We love it because it is not pretentious. It is off a country road with a nice view. You can bring in a picnic lunch but they offer a lunch and dinner menu. The food is really good and generous. The wine taste great and there is no wine tasting fee. You can spend a quiet weekday just relaxing and enjoying their wine. On the weekend, they have music. The service is excellent and Vickie, the manager, always comes to your table to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. We always have a pleasant experience when we visit there, it is so much nicer than any of the other wineries in the area.

Set in the hill country of St. Charles County. Wines are good and they have limited food service with outdoor entertainment during the summer. Nice place to spend a summer day.

We were staying at a B &B in Augusta and stopped in for dinner. service was great and wine was delicious as usual.

There are a plethora of wineries to choose from along Highway 94, but Balducci offers a more rustic, laidback atmosphere, with a barn and lots of outdoor seating.

a very nice tasting room with some really tasty Missouri wines. Easy access off route 94 makes this hard to miss. Will certainly return here.

Of all the Missouri vineyards, in my opinion, this one has the best food and wine. You do not have to purchase food there, you are welcome to bring your own. But, if you like Chicago-style deep dish pizza, you will not want to miss theirs. It was amazing (and I'm from Chicago). The wine was also suprisingly good. I was feeling a little weary of wine after a weekend of tasting, but their Chardonel was too good to skip.Finally, the atmosphere was lovely. We were there around noon on Labor Day so it was pretty uncrowded. We sat at a table on a hillside and listened to recorded music, which was a nice break from all the live music we had heard. The views are beautiful and it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

The most passable--and dare I say, good?--wine in Missouri. And the pizza is fantastic. The ambience is nothing spectacular, but is refreshingly laid back.
