Memorial Day is meant to be a day of remembrance and appreciation. Friends and family gather together on this long weekend to celebrate our freedom and say thank you to those who’ve made it possible for us to do so. Let’s raise a glass!
This fun weekend also signifies the unofficial start of summer. Here are some suggestions for making your Memorial Day celebrations memorable… with Missouri wines, of course!
Experiences:
There are more than 130 wineries in this great state of ours and many of them are hosting special events for the weekend. A Missouri winery is a great place to spend this weekend.
