Hey, Missouri wine lovers! Mount Pleasant Winery now offers an option for visitors who want more than just grab-‘n-go fare. Appellation Café, located in the Augusta winery’s remodeled grocery building, features fine cuisine coupled with the estate’s award-winning wines, each of which are now for sale by the glass or bottle.
Sure, you can still opt for gourmet quick-picks from The Express Corner, but now you can also relax in the 30-seat dining area or head to the patio where you can enjoy a Reuben sandwich or their Lewis and Clark burger while sipping a glass of Mount Pleasant’s award-winning Villagio, Vignoles or Norton – all with the scenic Missouri River valley in the backdrop. The atmosphere is casual, just order at the counter and a member of the café’s wait staff will bring the food to your table.
Appellation Café serves lunch daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The restaurant is open weekends only December through February.
