County of coat-of-arms: St. Charles County
Location of this shield: Defiance Rd. & MO-94, The Inn at Defiance, Defiance

Proper Description: "Mention going to a winery or a wine region to the majority of people, and the first thing they seem to think of is Napa. But what most people aren't aware of is that Missouri was the first federally-approved American Viticultural Area in the country (AVA). This happened a full eight months before Napa became the second approved viticultural area.

"So what's so special about Missouri's wine region? Plenty. The new Historic Missouri Wine Country organization exists to tell what's special and let people know what they've been missing. Defiance, Missouri is at the gateway to Missouri's Historic Wine Region.

"Businesses who are part of this association are recognizable by special signs posted outside their business like ours below. [In Gallery]"
