Lindwedel Winery is a winery in Springfield, Missouri, located at 3158 State Hwy 265. The business offers handcrafted wines made from Missouri-grown varietals and other U.S. grapes, serving both local residents and visitors to the Branson area. Founded in 2007 by Kim and Stephen Lindwedel, the winery began as a dream rooted in family, nature, and a passion for wine, inspired by trips to Missouri’s wine country. The original location sits on 15 acres west of Branson, offering scenic views of the Ozarks, the west end of Highway 76 “The Strip,” and the Shepherd of the Hills Inspiration Tower. The winery also operates a second location at 100 Branson Landing Blvd, Suite 589, near Paula Dean’s restaurant. With a 4.80 rating based on customer reviews, Lindwedel Winery is recognized for its welcoming atmosphere and quality wines.

The Lindwedel family’s journey began in 1995 when they moved from St. Louis to the Ozarks near Table Rock Lake, seeking a quieter life connected to nature. Stephen’s background in chemistry and his desire to create a space for family and friends led him to explore winemaking as a way to combine science, agriculture, and community. After evaluating the challenges of vineyard farming, the couple decided to focus on crafting wine from existing American grape sources. Their vision took shape through visits to Missouri’s wine regions and culminated in the purchase of land in 2007. The winery opened in November of that year with support from family and friends, guided by a mission to share wine, family, and the beauty of creation.

The winery’s primary location lies along State Hwy 265, a scenic route west of Branson, offering views of the surrounding Ozark hills and the lights of the nearby highway corridor. While no specific nearby landmarks are listed, the property’s placement along this major road highlights its accessibility and scenic setting. The business has built a reputation for consistency and warmth, reflected in its high customer rating, and continues to serve as a destination for those seeking a relaxed, family-friendly environment.

Lindwedel Winery stands as a locally rooted expression of Missouri’s wine heritage, blending personal history with regional character. Its presence in the heart of the Ozarks offers a distinctive experience where the natural beauty of the landscape meets the art of winemaking.
