Winery & Brewery Tour Weekend!

Winery & Brewery Tour Weekend – Hannibal, MO
**August 23rd-25th, 2024**

We have put together another fun weekend for everyone to enjoy! We are partnering with our good friends at Great River Brewing Company, Mark Twain Riverboat, Cave Hollow West Winery and Fiddlestiks Food and Spirits Company for a Winery and Brewery Tour Weekend! Enjoy wine and beer tasting, scenic cruise down the Mighty Mississippi River (the same one Tom Sawyer took a raft down!), historic downtown Hannibal, Missouri, wonderful meals, first-class accommodations, and a lot of fun with your friends or significant other. After a long week of meetings, laundry, ringing phones, and e-mail updates, don’t you think you deserve a weekend full of fun?
