Driving Arkansas's Wine Trail
|
There are many different routes visitors can follow when driving Arkansas's
Wine Trail. The primary route suggested below is the most direct and is very scenic. However, since some sections of this route are
mountainous and curvy, it can take longer to get from one point to another than might be expected
if estimating travel
time based on distance alone. The alternate routes from Eureka Springs
through the Northwest Arkansas area is slightly longer but the roads are not as
winding and there are numerous points of interest to visit in Northwest
Arkansas. |

When planning a trip to Arkansas's wine country, visitors may decide
some of the wineries are close enough together to allow adequate time to visit each of them in a day or a
weekend. However, the
distances involved make it difficult to visit all of Arkansas's wineries in a 1 to 2
day trip. Planning an extended visit or multiple trips to Arkansas's Wine
Country will allow visitors to enjoy each of the wineries as well as seeing other
sights offered by the three regions of Arkansas's wine country.
