Bloomfield, Missouri – In the backwoods of Stoddard County over looking a beautiful lake there is a perfect little place to spend an evening. The Boat House Wine Company offers that perfect retreat and is not your average winery.
With live entertainment on the weekends and an outdoor stage, the Boat House is the place to be. The Boat House also offers an assortment of foods, wine and beer.
There are currently six wines offered on the menu. One wine called “Masters’ Estate”, named after Dr. Ed. Masters from Sikeston. He was the former owner of the land prior to it becoming the Boat House back in 2010. As a tribute to the late physician, the specialty Merlot bears his name.
There are even RV hook-ups, cabins, and tent camping available. Fishing, no problem! You can even stand at the edge of the water and feed the catfish. They love tasty treats!
The outdoor movie theater is almost complete. Jared expects to show two movies each month beginning June 7th. Live bands will be performing each weekend with THE BUZZ appearing at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8th, the following Saturday will be the HUMAN ZOO BAND at 7:00 p.m. and on June 22nd will be the JOHN D. HALE BAND, also at 7:00 p.m.
Want a romantic outdoor wedding? No problem, it’s beautifully landscaped with covered seating areas and outdoor lighting for that perfect nighttime ambiance.
“We have had lots of high school reunions, birthday parties, and church groups come out and enjoy the Boat House,” stated new owner Jared Chandler.
“It’s absolutely beautiful and so very peaceful out here, who wouldn’t want to come and enjoy nature, eat great food and visit with friends.”
The Boat House is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week. It may be hidden away, but is relatively easy to get to. Just take Highway 25 to Quila, turn west on route M, turn north on route BB and then a quick right on County Road 252. Watch for Boat House Wine Co. signs!
