Seven Springs Winery in 2016

We had a great year filled with exciting events at the Lake of the Ozarks hosted at our very own Seven Springs Winery. From cool nights with the smooth tunes or lots of laughs at our comedy night, we've had a ball this year! Here are just a few of the ways we enjoyed 2016.

Fun Events

You can always count on a good time at Seven Springs Winery. This year we had some amazing events like special dinners, getaways, and even a wine run! We celebrated our eighth year of having the best winery at the Lake of the Ozarks with an anniversary party and enjoyed a fun Beer Pairing Dinner to support a great cause. Don't forget our Murder Mystery Dinner and Comedy's Best Kept Secret! Those events were a great success and we wonder if 2017 will bring them back around? Which events did you make it to this year? We would love to hear your fond memories.

Great Music

This year we featured many amazing musicians, some new and some were old favorites! Sax on the Beach is always a fan favorite, and we were so glad to have them grace our stage once again this summer. We also featured Grayson Wood at a fun Boot Stomping Revival! Everyone loved him so much we've had him back many times throughout the fall.

Wonderful Weddings

One of our favorite events to host here at the winery are Lake of the Ozarks weddings. From beautiful and quaint to fun and rustic with everything in between - we love to see the creativity. Plus, nothing is more romantic than seeing to lovebirds say I Do amongst the grapevines.

Fun Photos From Our Fans

We LOVE to see our winery through your lens! Fun photos, funny photos, and even really cool shots are all welcome! Feel free to post your own shots and tag us in them - sometimes we even feature them ;).

Our Renovation!

Finally, one of the coolest things that happened this year is the completion of our landscaping project! We now have beautiful patios and "pods," as well as breathtaking water features. The winery has always been a beautiful place to kick back and enjoy a glass of your favorite Missouri wine, and now it's even better!

Happy New Year From Seven Springs Winery!

From our family to yours - Happy New Year. We hope that 2016 has been filled with fun memories and exciting stories to be shared over a glass of wine. We also hope that you have a fun expectancy for 2017, and plan to spend plenty of time at the best winery around!

Successfully Planning Your Wedding Registry

As any newly engaged couple is quickly learning, there is a lot involved in planning your upcoming wedding day. From choosing the right wedding venue at the Lake of the Ozarks to finding a wedding dress and gathering decorations. Of course, one time-consuming project can be the wedding registry, but it doesn't have to be! Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan your registry and decide what you really need.

Red Wine Hot Chocolate

Photo Credit: www.Wholefully.com

Recipe Credit: Wholefully

Ingredients

⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips
⅔ cup of Seven Spring's Syrah
½ cup milk
½ cup half and half
2 tablespoons sugar, optional (see notes)
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Combine the chocolate chips, wine, milk, half, and half and sugar (if using), in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat, stirring constantly until chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is hot.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour into mugs and serve

Notes

If you'll need to use the sugar or not will depend on the sweetness of your wine. If you're using a very dry wine, you'll want to add in the sugar. It's best to take a sip without the sugar, and then add it in if need be. For a sweeter, fruitier vibe, swap out the dry wine for a fruit wine—make sure you omit the sugar. Zest on a little bit of orange or clementine peel just before serving to really take this drink over the top!

There's No Party Like a Wine Party!

We all know the best way to get the party started is with a glass of your favorite Lake of the Ozarks wine. Whether you try a new recipe or enjoy the wine in its original state, we're sure you're going to like it. Come out to the best winery at the Lake of the Ozarks and grab a few bottles of your favorite wine to enjoy during the holiday season!
