La Bella Vineyards & Winery is a Lafayette County tasting room and vineyard on Flournoy School Road in Wellington, Missouri — not Wellington, Kansas, and not Wellington, New Zealand — pouring red, white, blush and fruit wines from a patio the state wine board says overlooks a lake and vines. It is a winery, not a closed farm.

Description

La Bella Vineyards & Winery sits at 11644 Flournoy School Road in Wellington, Missouri, a Lafayette County town east of Kansas City — a different Wellington from Wellington, Kansas and from Wellington, New Zealand.12 Missouri’s wine-promotion agency describes a tasting room and a patio overlooking a lake and vineyards, pouring red, white, blush and fruit wines from dry to sweet.1

The Missouri Wine Country listing, which is the URL behind the wine-board page’s “Visit Website” button, writes in first person: complimentary tastings in a tasting room and gift shop of wine-related gifts and specialty foods; wood-fired pizza on a patio overlooking a 10-acre lake; banquet facilities for weddings, receptions, corporate events and private parties.3 Those amenity claims are directory copy, not a first-party site. Wood-fired pizza is listed as a winery amenity / scheduled-event offering, not as the business type.

Missouri Wines also lists no-cover live music, card parties, multi-course dinner parties, and other agricultural and wine-related activities, to be posted on the winery’s Facebook page “and on our website.”1 The own-domain site named across older directories, labellawinery.com, does not currently serve: HTTPS fails TLS handshake at 185.53.179.128; HTTP returns 403. That is a dead domain, not a live first-party page. The wine-board “Visit Website” control points at the Missouri Wine Country directory listing, not at a company site.1

A WineCompass directory entry at the same Flournoy School Road address and 816-240-2404 phone lists named wines including Apple, Chambourcin, Chardonel, Concord Blush, Giuseppe, New Oak Blush / Red / White, Norton, Seyval, St. Vincent, Vignoles, and Vino Rosa.4 Those names are a directory product list, not a current first-party bottle list, and are not treated as a live menu.

The street-name forms conflict and are not merged: Missouri Wines and most directories print Flournoy School Rd; the alcohol-licence rows print Flournoy Road. Same number, same city, same phone.12

The identity of the owner or owners, and the year the vineyard or tasting room opened, are “. A previously indexed AmericanTowns community page that search engines still quote for a Soendker-family / 1997 New Oak Vineyards origin story now redirects to a generic AmericanTowns homepage and could not be confirmed. Missouri Secretary of State lookup was not available (Cloudflare challenge). Person names from unconfirmable directory copy are not imported.

WineCompass still uses the mailbox info@labellawinery.com.4 A mailbox on a dead domain is not an owner identification.
