Mount Pleasant Estates
About Mount Pleasant Estates
As the oldest winery in the Augusta Appellation, Mount Pleasant's rich history is a testament to Missouri's long-standing contribution to the global wine industry.
In 1859, two brothers from Germany, George and Frederick Muench, established Mount Pleasant Winery as a commercial wine business. The beauty of the rolling hills of Missouri River Valley reminded them of their homeland and showed exceptional potential for creating excellent wines.
The Muench brothers built the cellars in 1881, using the wood and limestone from the area. These cellars are still used today to age Mount Pleasant's estate-bottled wines and internationally award-winning Augusta Ports.
