Missouri’s largest estate winery aims to expand statewide market reach through the new partnership.
March 10, 2026 (Hermann, MO) — Stone Hill Winery is proud to announce the appointment of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits (Southern Glazer’s) as its new distributor in Missouri. The agreement represents a focused effort to grow the presence of Stone Hill wines throughout the state while strengthening service and support for retail and restaurant partners.
Consistently ranked among the top fifteen wine brands sold in Missouri, and among the top five wine brands in both the Kansas City and St. Louis grocery markets, Stone Hill has long been a leader in the state’s wine industry. The agreement with Southern Glazer’s will further expand the winery’s reach and availability to wine consumers across Missouri.
“We are greatly looking forward to partnering with Southern Glazer’s Missouri and better serving our loyal retailer partners, reaching new on- and off-premise accounts, and continuing to deliver the Midwest’s most awarded wines to new customers across the state,” said Nathan Held, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Stone Hill Winery.
Farming 196 acres of estate vineyards, Stone Hill Winery is the largest estate winery and wine grape grower in the Midwest and one of America’s leading wineries dedicated to hybrid and native grape varieties. Its portfolio includes wines made from Norton, the historic native grape that has become a defining symbol of American winemaking.
Through Southern Glazer’s comprehensive statewide distribution network and sales team, Stone Hill aims to further strengthen retail and restaurant partnerships while continuing to build demand for Missouri-grown wines.
