Since we woke up to snow this morning, I thought it was appropriate to post about winter in Augusta. It is actually a great time to visit. Here are some things to do on a winter visit:![]()
Book an appointment at Halycon Spa for a spa service. Yesterday, I had a 90 minute massage with Kara -- it was incredible.
Take a winter hike on the Katy Trail. Bundle up and enjoy the solitude! The beauty is much different in the winter. 🥾🥾
Enjoy a book and a glass of local port in front of one of the many fireplaces at HS Clay! 🥂![]()
Schedule your appointment now. There are some dates remaining in February and March.

A few days before Christmas, I made the trek to New Haven, MO. As I passed by the entrance to Robller Winery, it occurred to me that several of my guests had commented on the amazing Norton wines being produced at Robller. How could I not stop? 🤓![]()
While at Robller:
Met the winemaker, Jerry Mueller!
Sampled many of their wines🍷🍷🍷
Learned about the wines
Took home a case
Saw the beginning of an amazing sunset🌞🌞![]()
The Chambourcin Reserve served with ham was fantastic. So there are many great wines from Robller, not just the Nortons! ![]()
This winery is a must stop on any trip to Missouri Wine Country and also would be a great activity when you stay in Augusta. ![]()
