About this event
Fall Color Tour to Hermann Wine Country, Saturday October 19th, 2024
Join us for a leisurely tour to beautiful Hermann, MO on Saturday, October 19th. We will experience the great driving roads and fall colors of central Missouri and the Octoberfest activities in Hermann! We will meet the Columbia group at Riverfront Pavillion in Hermann, MO and enjoy the catered box lunch and beverage provided by Sugar & Spice Laura's delights.
We are meeting at the WEST Commuter Lot at 9:00 am, on the southwest corner of Hwy 94 and 40 in St. Charles. Be careful, there are TWO lots, one on the East side of Hwy 94 and ours on the West. You have to enter the lot from Hwy K, 1 mile WEST of it. We suggest gassing up and visiting the restroom before you arrive. We will leave for Hermann at 9:30 am.
There will be one rest stop along the way at the Thierbach’s Orchard in Marthasville on Hwy 47, approximately 35 miles from the start. Thierbach’s has restrooms, refreshments and lots of fall treats such as pumpkins, apples, jams and homemade cinnamon donuts. Continuing on, we will park in the Riverfront Park where we will have our catered box lunch waiting for us at the pavillion. After lunch, you are free to roam about town and enjoy the Octoberfest activities.
