The Caverns
Little Hills Winery recently acquired access to under ground caverns located at 300 Water Street in St. Charles to localize our wine making and bottling process.  The caverns were originally occupied in 1849 by the Fischbach Brewing Company owned by John Fischbach and Mary Pfister.  John's nephew, Jacob Fischbach, served an apprenticeship in the brewing industry at Brewery Haag in Alsance Lorraine from 1878 to 1880.  He arrived in America in 1907 with his sister Margaret and joined his Uncle in St. Charles, Missouri.  He served as President and Brewmaster until 1965 when the family sold the brewery to Nick VanDyke III.  The VanDyke Brewing Company operated at this location until 1976 when it closed.

Although remnants of the brewing history remain in parts of the caverns; today, Little Hills uses a portion of these caverns to make, bottle and store their wine.  

On limited occasions our caverns are open to small groups for tour.  Join our Event Distribution list to receive notification on future tours.
