"Fab" attractions/dining

Retrohaus LOVES our local family run bakery. We have so many favorites: twist donuts, pecan rolls, apple strudel, and rye bread just to name a few. Just remember though- they're closed on Sundays and Mondays- so stock up when open.

Don't miss this! Our great grandparents (Bleile) were one of the original deed holders who settled Hermann in the 1800's. Deutschheim State Historic Site preserves two structures that reflect the 1840s and 1850s when Germans first settled the Missouri River valley that reminded them of home. The site includes the Pommer-Gentner house (1840), one of the oldest surviving buildings in Hermann. It also preserves the Carl Strehly house, (1842). Through guided tours of both historic houses, you can experience the daily life and traditions of German immigrants to Missouri in the mid-19th century.

Nancy Kuebler Coba (one of the retrohaus owners) worked at Stone Hill during high school and college as a tour guide so this winery has a special place in our hearts. We're still family with the owners Jim and Betty Held. Established in 1847, and well before there was a Napa Valley wine industry, Stone Hill grew to be the second largest winery in the United States! Stone Hill wines were world renowned, winning gold medals in eight world's fairs. Today you can tour the magnificent underground cellars and enjoy wine on the hillside. This is a special place to enjoy! Don't miss it!

You MUST take this tour if at all possible and you MUST visit with the fabulous Shires that are raised here. Hermann Farm is Missouri's premier destination that connects, engages, and educates people of all ages to Midwestern rural tradition through living history interpretation, tours, and seasonal celebrations.

This museum is so cool! We used to visit as children and loved it. The gift shop here is fabulous for authentic German take homes! Built in 1871, the German School Building at the corner of Fourth and Schiller streets served as Hermann's elementary school until 1955. For much of its history, the school was bilingual, with classes taught in both English and German. Today the building has found new life as the Historic Hermann Museum.

Hermannhof's ten magnificent stone cellars and charming brick superstructure are among the 100 early Hermann buildings placed on the National Register of Historic places by the Federal government. Construction of a brewery/winery commenced in 1848 and was completed in 1852 in the French section of Hermann.

Genuine antique shop with clean open spaces, wide variety of merchandise including large furniture pieces, primitives, glassware, crocks, kitchen wares. Truly, this is a great antiques shop to peruse during your stay in our village. Some of the items in retrohaus were purchased here.

Black Shire Distillery recently opened in Hermann for tours and tastings in a very historic site where the family that settled the homestead began distilling back in the 1840's. Go there for a tasting and enjoy the beautiful ambiance of the site.

Where the locals hang out for coffee. Specializing in unique blends of quality, freshly ground beans that are custom roasted and available in a variety of flavors.

A distillery for tours and tastings and a fabulous eatery with fabulous ambience. Some of the best fare in Hermann. (fairn-way): wanderlust, a desire to explore German pronunciation (feirn-vehy)

Tin Mill Brewing Company was established in 2005. The Brewery is located in a historic grain processing plant in downtown Hermann, MO. It's a good place for lunch.

Our friends and owners of Typestyles, Kathy and Tom, created the fabulous retrohaus sign on our hillside and were generous with their time and talents as we renovated retrohaus.
