"Missouri is home to many exceptional wineries and the Tour of Missouri is a tremendous opportunity to showcase to the world a selection of Missouri’s award winning wines," Gov. Matt Blunt said.
At each of the finish cities on the Tour of Missouri, a feature of Missouri Wines will be present at the Health and Wellness Expo. Visitors of the Missouri Wines booth can join in games, win prizes, learn more about the state’s grapes and receive information regarding Missouri’s 72 wineries.
At each start city and the beginning of each day, race-goers with purchased 2007 VIP Hospitality experiences will be able to enjoy grape juices from Missouri wineries in the hospitality tents. At the finish city each day, a selection of award winning Missouri wines will also be available in the hospitality tents.
The Tour of Missouri will begin on Sept. 11 in Kansas City and will travel to Springfield, Branson, Columbia, Jefferson City, St. Charles and end in St. Louis on Sept. 16.
"The tour will lead fans through the heart of Missouri’s diverse wine country and go through Hermann on Saturday, Sept. 15," said Jim Anderson, executive director of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board. "We are excited for the opportunity for so many Missourians and tourists to see what Missouri’s diverse scenery, history and wine country is all about."
