Six Notable Wineries and Wine Bars to Discover in Overland Park
You do not have to travel far to sip and swirl your way through local wines in Overland Park.
Each winery and wine bar brings its own atmosphere, ranging from casual patios to cozy interiors, making it easy to plan an afternoon or evening centered around good company and even better wine.
Wineries
Aubrey Vineyards
Walking into Aubrey Vineyards, you’ll find twinkle lights hanging above the tasting room patio just begging to be sat beneath. I felt relaxed immediately. But I wasn’t at Aubrey Vineyards just to relax. I opted for a 3-flight tasting of two dry whites and a rosé. Although I am still new to Kansas wines, I was very impressed. Their chardonnay was delicious. For those of you who opt for a less buttery chardonnay option, this one is for you. Their Chambourcin rosé was also a hit, and as we in the industry say, a definite "patio-pounder." The staff was knowledgeable and friendly but gave us space to taste and enjoy.
Bourgmont Winery
A bit further south is Bourgmont Winery. Upon arriving I felt I was transferred from Kansas to Napa Valley. Their tasting room and patio are stunning. With a large patio, pergola and a pond view, it's the perfect weekend getaway. If you're visiting in the winter, the tasting room backs up to an event space with candles that hang from the ceiling. It’s easy to see why so many nuptials are held on the property! My favorite wine I tried was the Sparkling Seyval. It’s mixed with the perfect amount of bubbles to make it crisp and refreshing. Take a bottle or two of this one home!
Serendipity Farm & Vine
Serendipity Farm & Vine combines the charm of a working farm with the elegance of a winery just outside Overland Park. Guests can sip estate-made wines while overlooking rolling vineyards, or settle into the inviting tasting room for a flight. The laid-back countryside setting makes it a popular choice for gatherings, live music nights, and weekend escapes that feel worlds away without a long drive.
Wine Bars
Vintage '78 Wine Bar
This internationally-recognized wine bar is a must-see for all vino aficionados! Vintage '78 Wine Bar offers a refined casual dining experience where elevated bites are served alongside American classics in a chic, intimate atmosphere. They were awarded Best Wine-by-the-Glass List (without Coravin®) at The World's Best Wine Lists Awards in London, and they are named as a White Star Venue by the Star Wine List!
Veritas Wine And Whiskey
Veritas Wine and Whiskey is located in Prairiefire. It is home to a vivacious scene that also had a live band when I visited. They have an inviting bar that opens to the patio during nice weather. The bartenders know the wine list well and are generous if you want to have a sip of something new. Veritas has one of the most extensive wine lists in Overland Park (and whiskey too!) Wines are sold by the glass and changed out seasonally. Don’t let its name fool you, there’s a whole lot more here than just wine and whiskey... The food here is amazing.
Louie’s Wine Dive
Louie’s Wine Dive knows its wines. After all, it’s in the name and it’s also on the walls. And while Louie’s is not really a “dive” wine bar, it definitely has a more casual atmosphere. There’s no need to worry about wine snobs here. You don’t want to miss ordering off the food menu either. Let me let you in on a secret: the best time to come is during brunch with girlfriends. The beignets are the biggest in town. And they pair nicely with almost-bottomless mimosas. Don’t be shy to come back for a date night to spend some time over the extensive wine list over dinner!
The next time you’re in Overland Park, make sure to a heavy pour of some locally-made Kansas wine. Want something that packs a little more of a punch? Try some of the best cocktails in the city or check out the best happy hours.
