Cow Cuddling… What does it mean?
At KC Wine Co in Olathe, KS, just 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City awaits the cutest thing you’ll do this year. This isn’t just “look at them from a distance.” This is up close and personal. During your highland cow cuddling experience, you’ll:
Cuddle up with our Highland cows
Pet, scratch and interact with snuggle-stars Ollie & Ruby
Take photos (trust us, you’ll want proof)
Unexpected.
In the best way.
Cow Cuddling is the kind of experience you don’t expect to find just outside Kansas City. But it is the kind you’ll talk about long after… or at least over a glass of wine.
Enjoy a full beer, wine, cider and food menu at the winery.
On-site Food options
From shareable bites to crave-worthy flatbreads, the food at KC Wine Co is built for lingering a little longer. Think warm Bavarian pretzels, melty-cheese flatbreads, and charcuterie snacks that hit just right with a glass in hand. Best enjoyed at a leisurely pace and paired with friends.
