Services
Located in a repurposed elementary school building, Riverwood is a family owned Winery north of Kansas City near historic Weston in scenic Missouri River Bluff wine country. Riverwood is unique in that we make and serve a wide variety of handcrafted wines while also having one of the largest Whiskey selections in northern Missouri.
Our main vineyard is at our winery situated on our farm in the beautiful Missouri River bluffs north of the Snow Creek Ski Area. Although we didn't know it at the time we purchased the farm in 1996, some of those vines were already in the ground. Someone had pulled the trellis posts from the vineyards, presumably to be used for fence posts, and left the trellis wires on the ground.
Hiking and Birding Near the Winery! For those of you who like to hike and watch birds and wildlife, there are some outstanding areas very near the Winery. Missouri has some of the best State Parks and Conservation areas in the country, and several of those are very near the Winery. Kansas, too, has some wonderful opportunities for hiking.
At Riverwood Winery we are firmly committed to sustainability and environmental preservation. While we always strive to make a big impact on those who visit us, we leave as little impact as we can on our planet. Producing wines, even on a smaller scale, provides abundant opportunities to take responsible action, from how we grow our grapes to maintaining our facilities year-round.
Riverwood Winery Tasting Room is located about 40 miles north of Kansas City and about 7.5 miles north of Weston. For more information on contacting us, see our Contact Us page.

Nice drive to the winery. Excellent wines and a reasonable tasting price. Wines for everyone, good dry reds and whites and sweeter reds and whites. They have outdoor music, really good groups and solo singers who play a variety of music. They have a news letter and offer monthly events. The winery is an old schoolhouse, unique and well kept. The owners are friendly as well as the workers. We have been many times and will continue to visit. The meat and cheese tray and pizzas are excellent. Strongly recommended!

We have been visiting Riverwood for many years. We are always taking people there because of the amazing family and staff. The wine and whiskey selections are incredible and they are continually adding to the place. The weekend music is an added bonus. Definitely worth the drive to spend some time relaxing, sharing some wine or whiskey, and having something from their food menu (or bring your own picnic).

Riverwood Winery is a great outdoor friendly winery to visit. The snack, food, wine, and cocktails are all great. The venue is a large open field in the back of the building since the inside is closed. Its a perfect outdoor spot with tons of tables spread out across the property. The wine flight came in specimen type bottles which was sort of fun, but most importantly all the wine tasted really good. The warm wine in the mug was the hit drink. The wine had this really nice pronounced flavor when heated up. Of all the wines we tried there are plenty of wines for everyone to like. There is also a

This is my favorite winery! I love bringing friends and family here. The atmosphere is a little quirky (in a good way as it is in an old school house) and staff is alway so friendly and helpful, but the absolute best part is the wine. The Sweet Tempered Red is so amazing that even "white wine only" types like it.
I highly recommend visiting, it is close to Snow Creek and Weston which can both be nice day trips.

As a displaced Californian, I realized how much I took California wineries for granted. I've been to many wineries in Missouri, and I quickly realized it's a different experience. I was so pleased to have found Riverwood Winery. The winery is casual and offers a dry enough red wine and cheese plate to enjoy while sitting outside. There's live music every weekend, and the owners are so friendly. The wine is sweet, but there are a few dry options. There's also whiskey tasting if that's your thing. Riverwood Winery has a country touch and it's a perfect place to

We were so pleased to have stopped here while we were in Missouri. What a great little winery & gift shop! It's located in a very scenic area of Missouri in a 1950's renovated school building. It is so unique and charming. The wine & whiskey tasting was a lot of fun. The wines were wonderful and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly!

As you pull up to Riverwood Winery, you may be a little confused. The nondescript, brick building is located just West of Weston and looks more like an abandoned old school rather than a winery. Highway 45 takes you there and the trip was quite scenic. The first thing you notice beyond the building is a lovely covered patio they've built off to the side. This patio hosts weekly events in the summer and even has a place for a fire pit. Then once you step inside the building, you automatically know that you've entered a special place. Riverwood Winery is definitely a wine enthusiast&apos

I have visited Riverwood several times over the last three years, and it seems like every time I go, it's less enjoyable. I will give them that it was a busy Saturday afternoon, but we got little explanation about the wines we were sampling other than the names. I were offered 2 tasting options: pay $5 to taste all 8 or so wines or 3 free tastes. We went with the free option since neither of us are fans of sweet wines, which make up a large portion of the offerings. The Norton, which is the metric by which I often judge Missouri wineries, was very tannic with a strong oak bite which needed
