Peaceful Bend Vineyard

Peaceful Bend Vineyard began life in the 1940’s as a livestock farm owned by gentleman farmer & St. Louis doctor, Axel Arneson.  After discovering a love of wine and grape growing in the early sixties, Axel and his wife decided to plant a small vineyard at Peaceful Bend in 1965.  By 1970 the Arnesons had decided to open a public winery and realized their dream to open to the public by 1972.  From 1972 – 1990 the winery was a family affair and a weekend retreat for the Arneson family.
