Augusta, Missouri

Augusta is a city in St. Charles County, Missouri, United States. The population was 270 at the 2020 census, up from 253 at the 2010 census. The city has wineries, antique shops, restaurants, B&B's, a wood shop, a glass studio, massage therapy, a historic museum, and The Augusta Brewery.

Augusta is located in the region known as the Missouri Rhineland. As a result, it is home to two wineries, Augusta Winery and Mount Pleasant Winery. The Augusta viticultural area was recognized by the federal government in 1980 as the first established American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States, two months prior to Napa Valley's recognition.

Vineyards and wineries have grown over the decades with more than 125 wineries now in the state of Missouri. Starting in 2020, David Hoffmann and the Hoffmann Family of Companies have invested to grow the region into a wine-tourism destination and have purchased more than two dozen properties, including four wineries and six vineyards.

Augusta is a popular stop along the Katy Trail, a 225-mile-long bike and walking path built along a former railroad right-of-way.

Augusta was founded in 1836, by Heinrich Knoernschild of Tiefengrun, Germany. There are stories of another man who named the town after his wife, although those theories cannot be proven.
