Founded in 1847 by German immigrants, Stone Hill Winery quickly earned international recognition, with its Norton declared “Best Wine of All Nations.” After a 45‑year dormancy during Prohibition, Jim and Betty Held revived the estate in 1965, reestablishing it as a cornerstone of Missouri’s wine industry. The winery now operates the nation’s largest series of cellars and showcases the historic story of early American winemaking. Its Vintage 1847 Restaurant occupies the original winery barn and serves traditional German dishes such as schweineschnitzel and kartoffelpuffer alongside American favorites. The current leadership team, including President Jon Held and Vice President Karen Held, oversees vineyard stewardship, production, and guest experience, continuing the family’s commitment to innovative, high‑quality wines rooted in more than 175 years of history.

Stone Hill Winery’s deep heritage and award‑winning wines make it a distinctive destination for wine lovers in the Belton area and the broader Missouri heartland.
