Augusta is located in the Missouri Rhineland. As a result, it is home to two wineries, Augusta Winery and Mount Pleasant Winery. The Augusta AVA was recognized by the federal government in 1980 as the first designated American Viticultural Area in the United States, beating out Napa Valley.
Vineyards and wineries have grown over the decades with more than 125 wineries now in the state of Missouri. Starting in 2020, David Hoffmann and the Hoffmann Family of Companies have invested to grow the region into a wine-tourism destination and have purchased more than two dozen properties, including four wineries and six vineyards.
Augusta is a popular stop along the Katy Trail, a 225-mile-long bike and walking path built along a former railroad right-of-way.
