Breakfast is not just a meal at The Captain Wohlt Inn, a premiere bed and breakfast in Hermann, MO; it's an event. Many say we have the best bed and breakfast recipes and that we serve the most delicious breakfast in Hermann. Did you know that many local B&Bs don't serve a full hot morning meal, but only offer a Continental breakfast or a breakfast in a basket?

We feature handcrafted, cured and smoked sausage and breakfast meats from the local, family-owned and operated Swiss Meat & Sausage Company. Swiss is the only sausage served on Amtrak trains and their delicious fare has won many National and State sausage and meat competitions.
