Most people typically think of visiting wineries in the summer. The Ozarks are home to beautiful wineries that are perfect to visit during the summer and fall seasons. If you love wine, here are several Ozarks wineries you need to visit for great meads and wines.

7C's Winery

7C's Winery

Dwight and Jean Anne Crevelt and Jean's mother Irene Cassens are the owners of 7C’s Winery in Walnut Grove, Missouri, just north of Springfield. Dwight and Jean Anne are originally from the Midwest and returned a few years ago to fulfill their dream of owning a winery and vineyard. Or to quote their oldest daughter, "Dream or midlife crisis; most people buy a sports car, but not you. You are going to open a winery."

Try delicious local wine and meads from the glass or from their environmentally-friendly pouches that can be enjoyed inside or on their outdoor patio.

Address: 502 E. 560th Rd., Walnut Grove

Lindwedel Winery

Lindwedel Winery

Established in 2007, Lindwedel Winery's owners have a passion for the lake and expansive land views their winery offers to its visitors as they step foot on their land. The Lindwedels settled in the Ozarks on Table Rock Lake outside of Branson, Missouri, in 1995. Their life in the winery business has allowed friends and family to enjoy and revel in both the beauty and peace of the atmosphere. In March of 2007, Kim and Steve Lindwedel bought 15 acres just west of Branson where they are now overlooking the rolling hills of the Ozarks and witness the lights of the city at night. Lindwedel Winery offers many Missouri grape varietals.
