10 Wineries & Vineyards in Arkansas That You Shouldn't Miss

October 6, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.

The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

We visited during our Eureka Springs trip and I really enjoyed stopping by. Free samples of wine were great, as well as some Gluehwine/mulled wine and moonshine. They had a very friendly and chatty cat, Ranger (sp?), who was going between tables looking for attention & crackers. I can only speak to the sweet wines that I tried, but I enjoyed all the samples and took a glass on-site and a bottle to go. Definitely quality stuff! The COVID paranoia is real in the Eureka Springs area, and here too we were seated outside only and expected to wear masks. As silly as that seems to me, I can't fault the owners for taking precautions as to avoid government-mandated fines or other penalties. One of the owners, Greg, was very pleasant to talk to and willing to share some stories about the stills he uses and some of his future plans. His wife, on the other hand, seemed fairly unfriendly and snippy - maybe just having a bad day? We all took somewhat sour impressions of her, though thankfully Greg + Ranger saved the day hospitality-wise. Free parking, easy to get to, and nestled in a nice hillside spot, I definitely recommend a stop here.

We stayed over night as members of Harvest Host and loved everything about the visit. The lunch was delicious and we ended up taking home the rest of the pie they had made. Ultimately, we agreed our favorite part was an unplanned private tour through the winery. We had taken the pie out to put in the refrigerator and a gentleman walked up to us as we were leaving our RV. He started chatting with us about our RV. We didn't know who he when he asked if we'd like to see where the wine is made. Eventually he stated he was one of the Post family. By the end of our lunch in the Trellis Room, unplanned tour and wine tasting we felt we had been welcomed by friends.

A unique stay. So much larger and more comfortable than a hotel room. Private. Super clean. Pet friendly. The heater kept us more than toasty on a cold night. The sound of the rain on the roof helped us sleep soundly on the comfortable bed. Firewood is provided for the fire pit. Close to all the local wineries. Happy to have experienced my first time in a yurt at Dionysus. Dennis and his wife are friendly and accommodating.
