Press House and Wine Cellar

This two-story press house and wine cellar was built at the same time as the main 1847 house, demonstrating how important wine making was to Charles Teubner. The press house and cellar were used by George Husmann, the father of viticulture in Missouri and one of the most important figures in the establishment of the American wine industry.

During the Kallmeyer’s time on the farm, farmhands slept upstairs. They would spend their days working the fields, spend their nights sleeping above the wine cellar, and they would be fed hearty meals by Mrs. Kallmeyer.
