About G. Husmann Wine Company
George Husmann, one of the founders of American viticulture, began his winemaking career here in Hermann and eventually made his way to Napa, where he was a key player. Our wines reflect that history, blending MO and CA wines to honor his legacy.
G. Husmann Wine Company
George Husmann "Father of the Missouri Grape Industry" immigrated to Hermann in 1838 and planted his first vineyard in 1847 on his father's farm. After his father died in a dust explosion at the local mill, which is now home to our Tin Mill Restaurant, George left for California to join the Gold Rush. He then returned to Hermann in 1852 to help take care of his sister's farm and then proceed to build his own winery in Hermann by 1859.
