	Exploring Missouri Wine Country

		With a dream and a loan of $1,500 to finance the first grape crush, the Helds and their four young children moved from their hog farm to the winery in 1965 and began the years of hard work and dedication that would restore Stone Hill to its place as the leading winery in the state.
