Page "Callaway County, Missouri" Paragraph 5

Other settlers in the Missouri River valley included German immigrants, who established a strong wine industry in the area and towns with German-influenced architecture.

Missouri was a large wine-producing state until Prohibition.

Since the 1960s, numerous vineyards and wineries have been established again in the valley, including Summit Lake Winery in Holts Summit.

The county is part of the Missouri Rhineland, an area of vineyards along both sides of the Missouri River extending from St. Charles County west to Callaway County.
