Bear Creek Wine Company is tucked away in a secret corner of the Ozarks near Branson, Missouri. This Winery is a gem only true Missourians know about. If you’re looking for a luxurious and charming rustic escape for the evening, look no further than Bear Creek Winery!
Growing up in Springfield, I have a pretty good grasp on the best spots in the area. Living alongside “The Birthplace of Route 66” makes the 417 a total foodie’s heaven on earth, it’s hard to choose where to go with so many great options. I repeatedly heard how charming and delicious Bear Creek was, so I just had to check it out myself – and I was not disappointed!

Food & Wine Selections
What I didn’t expect to find at Bear Creek, was the most delicious pizza I have ever tasted! I ordered the fresh and delicious “Bear Ass Pizza”. The prices are reasonable, especially with such large servings of food. Wine samples are offered, and you can enjoy a glass of your favorite for $6. My favorite wine is the Hillbilly Persuasion, which is a nice light crisp wine, close to a Chardonnay.

Their wine slushes are to die for 😍
Just spent the weekend winery hopping and wish I was near Missouri to visit Bear Creek Winery! What a beautiful place and look at that view. Thanks for sharing! Y
Thanks Yara, visiting a winery is definitely the best way to spend a weekend!!
I love finding Hidden Gems in the south! I will have to make a weekend trip to this winery now! It looks amazing and so peaceful!! Thanks for sharing!
This looks lovely! We don’t have any wineries where I’m from so I always get excited about them haha!
This looks so beautiful! I would love to visit the winery, I actually never have but I’m a big wine fan so I will add this to my list 🙂
Bear Creek Winery looks like a charming place to spend a day. I enjoy a chardonnay too, so would definitely try the Hillbilly Persuasion.
Went there today to try the wine. We stood there for 10 minutes. The staff walked around us that entire time and never spoke. They never offered to seat us. They saw us but never engaged us. Very disappointed. We won’t go back
I’m so sorry to hear that Julie! I’ve never had that experience there, but I’m really disappointed to hear that yours was negative.
