Odessa Country Winery

Odessa Country Winery is a Saturday-hours country tasting room on McNeel Road in Odessa, Missouri — Lafayette County, not Odessa, Texas — pouring semi-sweet fruit and American grape wines from an on-site vineyard.

Description

Odessa Country Winery operates a tasting room at 2466 McNeel Road in Odessa, Missouri, a Lafayette County town east of Kansas City on I-70 — a different city from Odessa, Texas.¹² The winery describes itself as a true “country” winery specialising in hospitality and semi-sweet fruit and American grape wines, poured in a tasting room and on grounds that include a small pond and a picnic pavilion.¹

The wines named on the company’s own site are red blends of Concord, Norton and blackberry (pitched for Kansas City barbecue), a Diamond wine, a wine it calls spicy Tornado, and Puddle Jumping Pear.¹ The vineyard is on site. The company states that its grapes have earned first-place ribbons in several Missouri competitions; the years and competitions are “.¹³

Missouri’s wine-promotion agency and the state tourism listing both list the same McNeel Road address and Saturday hours, and add two named on-site amenities that do not appear on the winery’s own page: Joe’s Catfish Pavilion and a Hunter’s Mancave with a pool table.³⁴ Those names are carried as directory claims, not as first-party copy.

The winery’s own site says it is part of the Kansas City Wine Trail.¹ Tastings and tours are offered; visitors are invited to bring a picnic.¹³
