Edelweiss
A winery in Hermann, Missouri, in a building that has been making wine since the 1850s.
Michael Eberlin built it in the early 1850s. Wine on the ground floor, family upstairs. By 1870 the winery was making two thousand gallons a year and paying for everything.
Then it was a house for a century and a half, and then it was empty. Clint and Beth Osler bought it in 2023 to make it a winery again. The whole story is here.
Seven wines, named for seven women
Helen was dry and oaky, and so is hers. Evelyn liked the boats. The other five are family too. Each one has a wine that suits her, and a tasting will get you through all seven for fifteen dollars.
Book an igloo
Two of them sit on the lawn all winter, heated, lit and full of blankets. The Snow Hut seats four to six, the Grand Igloo six to eight, and both come with the option of a charcuterie board or s’mores toasted at your table.
What’s on at Edelweiss
Tastings, classes and seasonal evenings, plus the igloos through the winter. Here’s what’s coming up.
