Jessie James historic home

Get an exclusive look at the people and places that are contributing to the acclaimed wine scene in Weston, a charming town less than an hour north of Kansas City. Hop on board a bus for a tour that takes you to 3 hand-selected wineries, where you tour the facilities and sample mouthwatering wines along the way.

Meet your guide on the south border of Downtown Kansas City and board the bus toward your first stop of the day. Following a picturesque drive through the country, you arrive in Weston, a historic town nestled in the bluffs of the Missouri River. Perhaps you begin with a visit to the award-winning Pirtle Winery, a family-run operation located in a former Lutheran church. Sample sips of juicy riesling and silky red blend, or try one of their intriguing honey meads made with ripe local berries.

Just down the street is Weston Wine Company, an enchanting tasting room serving up 7 unique blends. Delectable styles such as full-bodied red, tropical white, and semi-sweet rosé are designed to be enjoyed both with rich cheeses and sugary desserts.

Your day concludes with a stop at one last winery, such as Jowler Creek. Savor a range of wines, both dry and sweet, while curbing your munchies with light snacks that pair perfectly with your sips. Enjoy a bit of time to shop for your favorite bottles before boarding the bus back to Kansas City.
