Kansas City has it’s own Napa Valley, and you’ll find it all over the metro area. We have our very own city wine trail with selected vineyards and wineries, but we’re really here for all the best scenery and wine we can find. Not all of these 10 are on the wine trail, but we feel like we’ve found some hidden gems!
- Arcadian Moon - 19203 Old Highway 40, Higginsville, Missouri
Arcadian Moon / Facebook You can soak up this amazing view from the tasting room and deck overlooking the lake, as you sip a glass of wine or a pint of handcrafted beer. It’s not every day that a winery does both!
- Rowe Ridge Vineyard & Winery - 11255 Leavenworth Rd., Kansas City, Kansas
Rowe Ridge Vineyard & Winery / Facebook This vineyard is a great place to forget about the rest of the world for a while. It’s a smaller, family-owned place located on just ten acres. Tastings are available by appointment or during regular hours.
- KC Wine - 13875 S Gardner Rd., Olathe, Kansas
Cindy F/Yelp The menu here at KC Wine includes sangria slushies, which is an invention I never thought I’d love as much as I do. They have amazing views of the vines, and sometimes live music and retreats. What else could you ask for?
- Stonehaus Farms Winery - 24607 NE Colbern Rd., Lees Summit, Missouri
Stonehaus Farms Winery / Facebook This little winery was founded in 1996 and continues as a family-owned and operated business. They have great scenery for weddings and other big events, or you can visit them for Oktoberfest instead.
- Crescent Moon Winery - 15930 246th St., Lawrence, Kansas

- Ladoga Ridge Winery - 100 E Pope Ln., Smithville, Missouri
Ladoga Ridge Winery / Facebook The tasting room here is fantastic, and you can enjoy your wine overlooking some of the best scenery, with or without a fire pit. They don’t host weddings or receptions, just small tours and tastings.
- Riverwood Winery - 22200 State Route 45 N, Weston, Missouri
