Keltoi Winery

What a quaint and inviting place. Erv and LeeAnn were pleasant and gracious owners and host. Great environment. It was winter so we sat my the fire after our tasting and really enjoyed the comfortable feel of the place. Can’t believe this little hidden secret in SW Missouri. Their selection was wonderful… Some of their own grape harvest as well as others from Missouri. We will definitely be back!

Amazing experience! Great wines and wonderful customer service! I got to meet the owner Erv and visited with him as well.
Very beautiful place to have a picnic as well.
I will go again and again.

It was small but nice. Great selection of wines. $ 5 will get you a pretty glass & about 12 different wine samples. They really are unique so you will want to take a bottle home for sure. Worth the short drive out of town on a lovely day.

I stopped in on route between Minnesota & Oklahoma and I’m sure glad that I choose this particular winery to stop it — it was a great 20 – 30 minutes!
I had Brian subbing in for the owner, Erv, as Erv was frantically running around outside figuring our a water leakage. Brian (a fellow beer-​drinker!) did an awesome job at guiding me through most of the wines. Erv eventually took over the last 1 pour and tried to push some «fruit» wines on me which I politely (well, maybe not TOO politely) declined!
The tasting room was really nice, comfortable and inviting. The only issue I had (being that I like to travel to wineries all over the place) is that the tasting bar itselt is too small for larger groups (as one of the other reviewers above mentioned) — it only had 4 chairs… however, there were plenty of other places to taste AND the staff (and non-​staff!!) definitely made this a welcoming visit and a place I’ll be pulling my wife and friends back too soon!

I’ve probably been to more than 40 wineries over the past 5 years and this is one of 2 that I’ve been to 5 or more times. The owners are super nice and the wines are very reasonably priced.
It’s a great place to chill for an hour tasting the wines and speaking to the laid back owners, or just walk around the lovely SW Missouri property.
If you’re looking to host a party or event, this is also a great option. I help my birthday here and they let us use the grill and tasting room for a steal of a price. We did a few tastings and bought a few bottles. Overall, great Missouri winery.

Disclaimer: I have every intention of visiting again and editing my response with what will hopefully be a MUCH higher rating.
However, I felt that I must provide feedback on my visit to Keltoi. My boyfriend and I called ahead to make sure the winery was open and offering tastings, since mid-​January probably isn’t their busiest time of year. A friendly woman on the phone sounded incredibly welcoming so we excitedly headed straight out to Keltoi, about 17 miles from our home in south Joplin. When we arrived, there was a pretty full parking area but we headed on in. It was packed in their smallish, rustic tasting room. Twenty-​or thirty people were milling around and a few were seated. Two young children were running amok. Three or four adults were seated at a bar in front and the only Keltoi employee we spotted was doing the wine tasting. Engaged in animated conversation with the guests (as well he should be), he did not have time to acknowledge us. We waited awhile and just wound up leaving. If there had been some sort of organization, signage, or a Keltoi representative to welcome and assist us, we would have stayed for a tasting even if we had to wait quite some time. But as it was, we couldn’t tell if it would be 15 minutes or 3 hours (closing time) or what… and such a shame, because the chalkboard behind the bar listed many tasty-​sounding wines.

This place is a great, out of the way winery with wonderful owners and very pleasing wines. They grow many of their won grapes on the property and, while enjoying your tasting, you can enjoy the patio or the rustic interior of their winery.
The $ 5 tasting is amazing – we were provided with 12 tastings and a keepsake glass – and the knowledge of the owners as they explained the naming and taste of each wine was truly enjoyable.
All of the affordable wines were enjoyable and available for purchase onsite. This place is great – be sure to ask if you can try the «chocolate test» with some of the sweeter wines… we enjoyed it very much.
Definitely a must-​stop in southern Missouri.

If you are in SW Missouri, Keltoi Wineries is a must stop! For $ 5 you get to sample the 12 wines they make and get a great souvenir wine glass with their Celtic emblem. The emblem is a melding of the Celtic knot and Celtic cross — which if pretty cool.
They use a mixture of grapes grown on-​site at their vineyard and apples and grapes imported from California. They have a wide range of grape varieties they I had never heard of, but the owners Erv and LeeAnn, who both helped to lead the tasting were very informative and nice. They added personal details about the naming of the wines. For instance, the Nine Ladies is in honor of a friend who had many marital woes.
We sat out on their patio for the tasting, which was nice and relaxing. None of their wines were over $ 15/​bottle. They had a nice range of sweet and dry wines, though I think the sweet wines were more a favorite among their group. Their Norton was unique and several of their dry wines had tart and tannic notes.
Go for good wine, the nice company of the owners and a unique winery experience.
