Ruth&John's

I love it when I can catch the sun coming through the boxes in my display.

Here's a new one for us, the Art Fair at Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. John will be there with for favorite charcuterie and cutting boards, cheese cutters, boxes, wine racks and accessories, and more. 9-5 Saturday and Sunday, come on out and see what we've got!

Cedar went for a walk with the neighbors this morning, and when she came back in the house….

More coryopsis. I just can’t help myself.

I love this time of year when, even though it’s hot, the coreopsis (tickweed) are in bloom all across the meadow.

November gets closer every day, and so does the Arts and Crafts Extravaganza! Don't forget to sign up before it is too late!

We can't wait to celebrate Alto Vineyards' 38th year of operation and the 31st anniversary of the establishment of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail with you this weekend! 💛🍷

On Saturday, September 5th, Alto Vineyards will be hosting an unforgettable day of live music, local vendors, incredible food, and one of Southern Illinois' most anticipated fireworks shows!

Enjoy live performances from Smith Hill Blues Band from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, followed by the Ivas John Band from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. Dance with friends or relax with a glass of wine among our scenic vineyards; there's no better place to spend your Labor Day weekend. Throughout the afternoon you can browse handmade goods from talented local artists and vendors, and then satisfy your appetite with Alto Vineyards' signature grilled favorites and delicious eats from Tater Headz Fry Company 🍟

As the sun sets, gather your family and friends for a spectacular fireworks display by Falling Skies Pyrotechnics beginning at 8:30 PM. Be sure to bring your lawn chair and settle in for the show!

Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of tariffs in relation to fireworks, this will be our last fireworks show for the foreseeable future, so come celebrate with us as we light up the skies one last time 🎆

Mark your calendars and come celebrate 38 years of Alto Vineyards and 31 years of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail with us. We can't wait to raise a glass with you! 🍷✨
