Embark on a unique experience when you visit Cave Vineyard & Distillery, in Ste. Genevieve, that's home to 14 acres of lush grapevines.

Start your visit at the winery and tasting room, just above the Saltpeter Cave. There, you can engage in wine tasting and...

Purchase some of the winery's dry, semi-dry, sweet, and semi-sweet wines, such as the Dry Chambourcin Rose, Cave Rock Off Dry, and Sweet 'N Spicy.

And, if you've got a sweet tooth, stop by the Biscotti Bar, open from April through November. There, try an assortment of flavors , such as chocolate chocolate chip, Grandma's almond, and gingerbread.

Then, with wine and biscotti in hand - and maybe a picnic basket, if you brought lunch along - begin the picturesque stroll to the Saltpeter Cave. Along the way, stomp on a few grapes at the photo opp station.

Find a seat in the Saltpeter Cave, which holds around 100 guests. While not much is known about the cave's backstory, it was used in the 1700s to mine Potassium Nitrate (commonly known as Saltpeter.)

Today, wine enthusiasts regularly picnic in the cave that promises cool temperatures even during the sweltering days of summer.

Plan a visit to Cave Vineyard, open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from November through March and daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April through October.

Cave Vineyard is located at 21124 Cave Rd., Ste. Genevieve, MO 63670.
