People might not think of Montana as a prime location for wineries. But it turns out that wine is just another thing that we do well. While the bulk of grapes used in Montana wines are grown in other Western states, our wineries turn them into delicious vino. We also make wine from our huckleberries, honey, and famous Flathead cherries.
Here are the best wineries in Montana:
1. Hidden Legend Winery, Victor
This winery and vineyard focuses on producing mead, a deliciously sweet honey wine. Their tasting room is open Tuesday-Saturday from 11-6.
2. Tongue River Vineyard and Winery, Miles City
You can get traditional red and white wines here along with several fruit wines, like apple and cherry. Their Tongue Tied red is a local favorite.
3. Mission Mountain Winery, Dayton
This is Montana’s oldest winery, and it’s located on the shores of the beautiful Flathead Lake. You can even access it by boat! Their tasting room is open May 1-October 31, seven days a week.
4. Yellowstone Cellars and Winery, Billings
This winery is a great place to hang out. In addition to their tasting room featuring plenty of local wines, you can drink vino by the glass here for only $6.
5. Ten Spoon Vineyard & Winery, Missoula
Not only is this vineyard and winery beautiful, it’s run by someone who really knows his stuff. Winemaker Andy Sponseller creates award-winning wines from his estate-grown grapes and from Flathead Lake cherries. Virtually all wines are sulfite free. Best of all, their tasting room has live music on the weekends.
6. Glacier Sun Winery, Kalispell
Made from local fruit and regional grapes, the wine from Glacier Sun never disappoints. Their tasting room is open year-round from Wednesday-Saturday, and you can catch live music there on the weekends.
