10 Food & Drink in Arkansas That You Shouldn't Miss

January 19, 2022 Carley Gatson

Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.

The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

1894 City Market

1894 City Market is where the locals and professionals take their pictures. Built in 1894 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of the truly unique Architectural structures in the Four States area. More pictures are taken here than anywhere else in the area. The contrast of new and old creates time travel pictures of 123 years ago. Second Saturday trade days are held every second Saturday of each month featuring local craftspeople and goods. Building tours are available on second Saturday trade days. The building is currently being renovated for art galleries and retail space on the first floor, with offices and loft apartments on the upper floors. Come tour a building that has seen two turns of the centuries, 1900 and 2000. Oklahoma was a territory and Grover Cleveland was beginning his second term as president.

My husband and I are from Little Rock and stumbled upon this piece of heaven a couple of years ago. Bobby and Karen are the best people and are so friendly. This has become me and my husband’s regular spot for relaxation. We always meet new people there too. You will not regret sipping on wine and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

We stayed over night as members of Harvest Host and loved everything about the visit. The lunch was delicious and we ended up taking home the rest of the pie they had made. Ultimately, we agreed our favorite part was an unplanned private tour through the winery. We had taken the pie out to put in the refrigerator and a gentleman walked up to us as we were leaving our RV. He started chatting with us about our RV. We didn't know who he when he asked if we'd like to see where the wine is made. Eventually he stated he was one of the Post family. By the end of our lunch in the Trellis Room, unplanned tour and wine tasting we felt we had been welcomed by friends.
