Branson, Missouri is known to be a big, somewhat tacky tourist destination with more country music theatres than you could count along with every type of amusement park to go along with it. It is kind of like a country version of Las Vegas with a hint of Nashville thrown in. For those people that are headed to Branson but do not want to be in the middle of the country music variety shows and the water parks, there are many other options now available in the area to enjoy thanks to the sale of Branson vacant land and the building of some of these nicer areas. This article will describe some of the things that are not considered tourist attractions but are very enjoyable experiences for adults that want a quieter, less chaotic vacation says a group of Branson realtors.
Branson is actually a great place to go if you are an avid golfer and want to play on a variety of championship level courses. The city now has twelve golf courses to play on, all of them unique from each other and of various difficulties making it a great place for all levels of golfers. Surrounding these different golf courses are beautiful hotels with special golf packages as well as amenities such as spa treatments for those golfers that may need a relaxing and therapeutic massage following a day on the links.
Another great thing offered in Branson for adults to enjoy is a couple of wineries located in the area. The two wineries are Mount Pleasant Winery and Stone Hill Winery. Mount Pleasant winery is in Augusta, Missouri and started in 1859 by a pair of brothers from Germany. This winery has received many awards for its different wines where they grow a variety of 12 grapes to produce the wine. In 2008, they opened an additional branch in Branson for more visitors to experience. Stone Hill Winery is a family owned winery that is as old as the other one but much larger in size. They are known for having a great full bodied red wine from the Norton grape variety as well as other choices. Both places have tours and wine tasting which is a fun way to spend the day.
Branson landing is a lakefront project that opened in the summer of 2006. It is located on Lake Taneycomo which is located right in downtown Branson. It has several outdoor shopping stores as well as a lot of different great restaurants all looking out on the lake. This is a beautiful spot to spend the day browsing in the many retail spots as well as having a nice meal in a beautiful setting.
For outdoor enthusiasts, renting a boat and going fishing or just for a nice tour of Lake Taneycomo is a great way to spend the day. It is a manmade reservoir that has the feeling of both a lake and a river making it a perfect place to fish and explore.
