The A-Frame is the winery’s outdoor wine garden at 14020 W. Highway BB, on the bluff above the Missouri River. Curtis and Martha Bourgeois bought the building in 1974, and it was the winery’s original location. It has bar service, a picnic-style menu, a tiered patio, picnic tables and regular live music, according to the listing. It is open seasonally and closed in the winter months, so check the listing before you drive out.

Can I eat dinner at the Les Bourgeois Bistro?

Only on set occasions. The Bistro, at the same bluff address as the A-Frame, has no regular hours. Our listing says it hosts specialty brunches and dinners by reservation, plus private events. Look at the listing, then reserve through the winery.

The listing says wood-fired pizza and small plates are on the menu, and it keeps Friday and Saturday evenings going late. Tastings and private events can be arranged by appointment.

How do I fit it all into one day?
