Ride in early August?

A group of us would like to do a section of the KATY trail and wine touring. Have to do it early August due to school, etc. Is this recommended, or will it be too hot/humid? Also, can you suggest the best section to ride for 2-3 days, riding roughly 30 miles/day, in order to visit the wineries too?

Hydration is the key....yes it's hot in August, but it's not unbearable.

Hermann is a good spot to ride out and backs from early in the morning or late evening. Then hit the wineries in the heat of the day. Augusta is within riding distance also.

The Rivers Edge Restaurant in Fredericksburg (south west of Hermann) is worth the trip with a ferry ride across the Gasconade River. No winery there, but plenty of good food.
