I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
There’s a famous saying that goes, a glass of wine per day keeps the doctor away, or perhaps it was an apple, who knows. Either way, I enjoy having a glass or 2 of wine daily. I am no wine expert, but I love that I live in Arkansas, where we have a rich wine history that stretches back over a hundred years. Of course, when discussing wine, Arkansas might not be the first state that comes to mind, but there are several vineyards in our state that have placed us on the map. Mount Bethel Winery is an award-winning winery in Altus, and with over 20 acres of vines, it’s one of the largest wineries in our state. Featuring free wine tasting, tours, as well as a fascinating history lesson, this destination winery in Arkansas is one that you must visit.
Calling all wine enthusiasts of Arkansas! If you're searching for a winery to spend the day, then Mount Bethel Winery is the perfect venue for you.
But they are well-known for the selections of fruit wines, including wild plum, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, peach, and the wildly popular elderberry wine. Also, the winery boasts having the best Port wine in the region.
