A Hermann Bed and Breakfast with "Altitude"
We were so lucky to have Jess come and visit us at the Cottage. She was such a delight to have and talk with during breakfast. Please take a look at her site and all the great adventures she’s been on; even here with us.

This is the second time the Farmer’s Wine Trail has been promoted and hasn’t disappointed yet. Keely and I have the best memories of the food and wine from last year that we couldn’t wait to experience it again.
One of the things we loved about this trail was the food but also getting to talk to the farmers and producers. They are so knowledgeable about their products and how to raise quality foods.
Dish – Beef Stew with Cornbread. This was the heartiest dish throughout the Trail. Bold flavor and excellent taste
Wine – Situation Red
Dish – Creamy Chicken Florentine. Oh so delish! The creaminess of the dish really brought out the chicken flavor.
Wine – Liebeswein
Dish – French Roasted Pork with Apple Cream Sauce. The apple and the pork completely fused into one another to create a whole new tasting experience
Wine – Cabernet Sauvignon
Dish – Cream Cheese Raspberry Crepe Cake. This was almost our last stop which was so nice to have a sweet among the savory. Kudos to Hermannhof Winery for such a great mixup to the day!
Wine – Vingnoles
Dish – Meatballs and Coleslaw. Another beautiful day and great music too. We even met the lady that adopted our two dogs. Such a small world. =)
Wine – Blush
Dish -White Wine and Mushroom Risotto with Spring Vegetables, finished with Cool Cow Asiago and Brown Butter. Keely and I so enjoy coming here first. It definitely sets the tone of the day to have something this fantastic!
Wine – Reserve Vidal
Visit Röbller Vineyard’s website
Dish – Corn Chowder topped with Crumbled Cornbread. Finished up the day with this wonderful pairing. The cornbread on top was the “icing on the cake” for this Wine Trail.
Wine – Chardonnel

Just gotta start off by saying that I love cheese. It’s one of my favorite toppings, fillings, and snacks of all time. I have fond memories of eating a simple quesadilla with my mom when I was growing up. One of my other favorite dishes is Velveeta Cheese with Rotel tomatoes. That one’s been handed down for generations in my family. And who can deny one of the festive cheese balls that adorn the tables at holiday parties. So, needless to say, I get very excited for the Say Cheese Wine Trail in Hermann every year.
The line up for this year’s Say Cheese Hermann Wine Trail was savory, to say the least. Sampling sandwiches, soups, and Sauvignon made such an amazing afternoon for Keely and I. We always enjoy getting some time away to ourselves, talking about the future, our kids, and other random topics like where is the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. headed (our family binge-watching experience this year).
Throughout the year we want you to enjoy what life has to offer. Our tree houses in Missouri is one way to do that, but there are so many more experiences to be had in Hermann. If you have any questions about a quick getaway for your family or maybe just for two, give us a call and we can make your stay with us memorable.
The holidays are here!!! Thanksgiving has come and gone, the weather is getting colder and more snowy and Christmas time is making its way into our hearts through carols and Christmas spirit. Spending time with Keely is always one of my favorite things so I love when new wine trails in Hermann approach. Making breakfast and cleaning rooms together is still a joy in this season of life, but getting the chance to sit, sip, and savor the treats on the wine trail is always a blessing.
The line up for this year’s Holiday Fare Hermann Wine Trail was fantastic. Soups and sweets and much more were such a delight to share together. Since my wife is not only a fabulous wife, mother, singer, whistler (hopefully you’ve heard her during breakfast), and cook, she is also an amazing decorator. That’s why the decorations along the trail were so enjoyable as well. Pumpkins and Christmas trees, turkeys and falling leaves were all around us.
As you may have experienced a romantic getaway in any one of our Missouri tree houses, we invite you to take some time at the end of this year and reflect on the blessings you’ve experienced. We’ve definitely been blessed by you visiting us and we hope that you’ll visit us in Hermann again soon.

I love summer! As odd as it sounds, the hot weather and long days hold some of my best memories. Being outside with the kids is such a treat and grilling on the BBQ makes it that much better. Every year, my wife and I look forward to the Berries and BBQ part of the Hermann Wine Trail. This year was no exception. The weather was overcast on Saturday so it made sitting outside such a great treat! Each of the wineries prepared a delicious Berry / BBQ treat and paired it with one of their delicious wines. Many thanks to all that helped make this a great (and tasty) event! Cheers to you. 😉 [Read more…] about 2018 Hermann Wine Trail – Berries and BBQ
Keely and I were so excited for this new version of the Hermann Wine Trail and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely tremendous! From the Veggie Pizza to the Cashew Chicken Salad, we enjoyed every single bite. In fact, normally we share our food with the kids at home. We would each take a bite and then take the other plate to the kids so they could sample some of the great food we get to enjoy as well. This time, however, was a bit different and we decided to indulge and we are so glad we did. [Read more…] about 2018 Hermann Wine Trail – Farmer’s Table
Hey all,
I took my wifey out for a day around Hermann and surrounding wineries this past weekend just like a tourist. =) The tickets sold out super fast so I’m very excited we were able to go. Had a great time and loved trying all the fun foods and wine pairing from the 7 different wineries on the Hermann Wine Trail. This wine trail is dedicated to chocolate!!! Luckily, my sweetheart has a sweet spot <wink> for chocolate so extra brownie points for me. (See what I did there) [Read more…] about 2018 Chocolate Wine Trail Recap
