Apple Creek Vineyard & Winery is just 1¼ to 1½ hours south of St. Louis on I-55 — a family-owned estate winery with handcrafted Missouri wines, the Creek Bank Café, live music, and scenic creekside seating in Friedheim, Missouri.
Head south on I-55, take exit 117 (Highway KK, Old Appleton), go 2.8 miles west, and you’re here. No winding backroads, no getting lost — just a straight shot down the interstate and a short turn into some of Missouri’s prettiest creek-bottom scenery.
Apple Creek sits right on the border of Cape Girardeau and Perry counties, about halfway between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau. Leave St. Louis in the morning, spend the afternoon on the deck with a glass of Norton and a view of Apple Creek, and still be home for dinner.
From bold estate-grown Norton and Dry Creek Red to Seyval Blanc, Vignoles, sweet Sangria, and our rosé-style Serenity Creek. Pull up to the stone bar for a flight or grab a bottle for the deck.
Fresh food crafted to pair with our wines — available Friday 4–9 pm and Saturday & Sunday 12–5 pm. Friday evenings bring our signature steak dinner.
Our wrap-around deck overlooks Apple Creek and the surrounding valley — one of the best outdoor seating spots in Missouri, and a reason many St. Louis visitors come back every season.
Live music fills the deck on many Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Check our events calendar before you head out.
About 1¼ to 1½ hours south on I-55. Take exit 117 (Highway KK, Old Appleton) in Cape Girardeau County, then 2.8 miles west to 1930 County Road 401, Friedheim.
We think so — and so do our guests who make the trip every season. A creek-view deck, handcrafted estate wines, live music, and great food make it an easy full afternoon out of the city.
Friday 4–9 pm, Saturday 12–5 pm, Sunday 12–5 pm. Also open for special events — call ahead if you’re planning a private occasion.
Absolutely. We host private tastings, birthday parties, anniversaries, and small gatherings. Call us at (573) 788-2211 to plan your visit.
Yes on both counts. Kids are welcome on the deck and in the café. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome in our outdoor areas — see our pet policy.
Walk-ins welcome for wine and the café. Friday steak dinner reservations are recommended — book at steaknight.applecreekwinery.com.
