About Windy Wine
Windy Wine Company started with a simple idea wine should be something people enjoy, not something they feel intimidated by.
Founded in 2009 by 6th-generation farmer Kraig Keesaman, Windy Wine Co. is rooted in the land, built on tradition, and driven by creativity. Located on Keesaman Family Farms and Vineyards in Osborn, MO our winery brings together agriculture, craftsmanship, and a passion for doing things a little differently.
We’re known for bold, unexpected flavors from Peanut Butter & Jelly to Mango Chili Lime alongside classic wines made from Missouri-grown grapes like Norton, Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc, and Vignoles. Every bottle is crafted to surprise, delight, and bring people together, whether you’re a longtime wine lover or just wine-curious.
But Windy Wine Company is more than what’s in the glass.
It’s a place to gather. To slow down. To try something new. With indoor and outdoor seating, local food, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, we’ve created a space where friends, families, and even your dog are always welcome. Alongside our wines, we also craft spirits through our Long Line Distillery continuing our commitment to quality, creativity, and memorable experiences.
At the end of the day, our mission is simple:
Create great drinks people remember and a place they want to come back to.
