Review:
Washington is a picturesque town in the heart of Missouri's wine country, located less than an hour outside of St. Louis' city center. The city, which was originally founded in 1839, is home to a plethora of historic homes and businesses throughout its downtown district, which can be explored as part of self-guided walking tours offered by the Washington Historical Society. Visitors can view the preserved former home of local brewing magnate John B. Busch, connected to the renowned Anheuser-Busch brewing legacy, or peruse art exhibits at the city's converted 1923 railroad depot building. Award-winning wineries can be explored throughout the region, including the delightful Augusta Winery and Beer Garden, which offers tastings and tours throughout the week.
