MU Extension will hold its first White Oak, Whiskey & Wine Tour on October 28 to celebrate Missouri's unique contributions to the wine and whiskey industry.
The tour highlights Higbee, with stops at a white oak forest, a stave mill, two cooperages and a riverbluff winery. Guests will view where whiskey and wine barrels are assembled and how stave logs are processed and made ready for the copper.
The tour will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., beginning at the Hilton Garden Inn Columbia. The cost is $50 per person. This covers transportation, lunch at The Oak Cooperage and tasting at Les Bourgeois Vineyards. Availability is limited.
