Altus
Altus was the place to experience “The Simple Life” long before the recent TV reality show of the same name billed it as such. For many, though, the simplicity of life involves the complexities of growing grapes and making wine in this region known as Arkansas Wine Country, which boasts more than 120 years of viticultural history. The simple life will soon be enhanced with new wineries, restaurants and lodging establishments currently in the development stages for the Altus region, a thriving, rural area that attracts thousands of visitors annually. Four wineries – Post Familie Vineyard and Winery, Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, Mount Bethel Winery, and Chateau Aux Arc – now operate in the Altus area, and Cowie Wine Cellars operates in nearby Paris. Each offers free tours and tasting rooms. Some have extra amenities such as gift shops, restaurants, RV parks or bed and breakfast inns.
