The Story of Little
Hills Winery

The first recorded deed of the Little Hills
property dates back to 1805, one year after Lewis & Clark arrived.
The land was purchased for $1,500 with consideration of $500 in
animal skins. For approximately 10 years the restaurant building
housed a pharmacy, and eventually became a meat locker and
processing plant. During Prohibition, bootleg whiskey was sold out
the back door. After Prohibition it became a tavern called The
Golden Buffet and remained as such until Little Hills purchased it
in 1986.
In 1998, David and Tammy Campbell (pictured
above) purchased the restaurant and have grown the establishment to
include not only the restaurant and working winery utilizing local
caverns where much of the bottling is done, but also a gift shop
just a few blocks further south on Historic Main Street.
Their vineyard is in Eiola, MO which is where they grow their Norton
and Vignole grapes. Phil Graczyk (pictured below) is their Master Wine Maker.
