Willow Spring Mercantile was opened by Jim and Daphne Bowman in 2005. Willow Spring boasts the state’s largest selection of Missouri wines, craft beers, and distilled spirits.

A chocolate cappuccino brownie is served for dessert.
Fence Stile offers eight varieties of grapes, making up 10 acres of vineyards. The estate winery focuses on making dry and semi-dry wines. Fence Stile is also a distillery crafting small-batch spirits branded as “Nyx Spirits”. Guests may enjoy wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, mimosas, and sangrias while they enjoy live music, movies on the patio, Firepit Fridays, yoga, food, wine pairings and many more seasonal activities.
Relax in their picturesque garden setting and explore a variety of wines made from locally grown grapes. Don’t forget to place your order for their renowned wood-fired oven pizza — order sheets will be available on the trolley. (Food not included in the ticket price.)
