Located in the Arkansas River Valley, Arkansas's wine country has a rich, century-old winemaking history. Four wineries are in operation in Altus: Post Familie Vineyards and Winery, Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, Mount Bethel Winery and Chateau Aux Arc. Cowie Wine Cellars is run in nearby Paris. Each winery offers tours and tasting rooms. Keels Creek in Eureka Springs recently received silver medals in international competition.
