Near the culmination of our nearly three hour drive south on wonderful “Porsche style” roads, we’ll stop for a tasting at the Mount Bethel Winery. This facility is adjacent to the highway, and has ample gravel surfaced parking. Peggy has promised to make our visit entertaining.

Right around the corner, the Post Familie Vineyards will be our next stop for tasting, a tour, and lunch in their Trellis Room restaurant. Their “farm-to-table” lunch offering varies according to the availability of locally sourced ingredients, for example: kielbasa, or pasta with citrus chicken, or Roman gnocchi with grass fed meatballs, or something else altogether, each served with seasonal sides. Lunch du jour!

Just up the road as we leave Post is St. Mary’s Catholic Church. A short stop there offers sweeping views of the Arkansas River Valley that includes Mount Magazine, Subiaco Abbey, and on a clear day, Queen Wilhelmina to the southwest. 

Just a few minutes from there we’ll stop for a tasting at the beautiful Chateau Aux Arc tasting facility, named for the original French spelling of “Ozark”.

The drive back to Eureka Springs is mostly along historic AR 23, The Pig Trail Scenic Byway. Follow the instructions and meander along at your own pace, or join the procession.
