Following
our drive last Saturday morning, we arrived in
St. Genevieve, MO. We had some time to kill before our 2 o'clock check-in at the B&B so we made our first stop at the visitor's center. They had a nice display of some of the history and attractions in the area. We picked up a map and realized that the
Ste. Genevieve Museum would be a good place to start.

The building itself was a historic landmark, built in 1935 for the town's bicentennial. Admission was $2/person. It reminded Brandon and me of the
Corry Museum, due to items relating to local industry and arts & crafts like a "crazy quilt" from a church.
Our next stop was the
Sainte Genevieve Winery. When we walked in we were stuck behind a tour bus of
divas on the
Route du Vin. When we finally got up to the tasting counter we tried a bunch of delicious fruit wines. I was a fan of almost all of them. Our tasting was free, score! We also got a stamp on our
Missouri Wines passport. With just 4 visits to different wineries you earn a bar towel (and with 40 visits... food and wine pairing for 10). Illinois definitely needs a rewards program like this.

From there we walked over to
Sweet Things, a candy and gift shop. Brandon and I picked out some decadent truffles and tasted them outside.

And then it was time to check into our room! To be continued....
