My wife and I decided to stay a couple of nights in Eureka Springs Arkansas recently and were looking at some of the thing visitors might be interested in. Our Hotel manager recommend we visit the FRESH HARVEST TASTING room to check out the premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars. After arriving we were greeted by Annaleis McGlothin, the tasting room guide. We have never had a more pleasent experience or met such a knowledgable and friendly guide as Annaleis. She explained the differences between their products and other commercial grade olive oils, led us through the tasing of several of their premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars, provided recipes, directions on mixing and educated us on the history of their products and why consumers should be wary of off the shelf olive oil products. Annaleis answered all of our questions and demonstrated a complete and throurough knowledge of her company's products as well as how they were made, their origins and the best uses for cooking, marinating or just dipping with bread. We highly recommend you make this part of your visit to Eureka Springs.

We visited during our Eureka Springs trip and I really enjoyed stopping by. Free samples of wine were great, as well as some Gluehwine/mulled wine and moonshine. They had a very friendly and chatty cat, Ranger (sp?), who was going between tables looking for attention & crackers. I can only speak to the sweet wines that I tried, but I enjoyed all the samples and took a glass on-site and a bottle to go. Definitely quality stuff! The COVID paranoia is real in the Eureka Springs area, and here too we were seated outside only and expected to wear masks. As silly as that seems to me, I can't fault the owners for taking precautions as to avoid government-mandated fines or other penalties. One of the owners, Greg, was very pleasant to talk to and willing to share some stories about the stills he uses and some of his future plans. His wife, on the other hand, seemed fairly unfriendly and snippy - maybe just having a bad day? We all took somewhat sour impressions of her, though thankfully Greg + Ranger saved the day hospitality-wise. Free parking, easy to get to, and nestled in a nice hillside spot, I definitely recommend a stop here.

Soap Stop and Body Shop is honestly one of my favorite shops in downtown Eureka Springs. It's not one of the largest stores but there is SO MUCH in that space it would be hard not to find something you didn't know you need. Don't worry though, even with all those products and scents, the shop is very well organized. And if you have questions, all of the workers I've talked with have always been very pleasant and easy to chat with. Especially Grant who helped us out this time. I will definitely be back anytime I'm in Eureka Springs.

I walked past this store when I was in Eureka for a day trip, because I thought it was about biking? Turns out the owner just creates really fabulous "mash up" art, and what I saw was biking/star wars art. There is also "social justice/super hero" art (yay!) and other Star Wars mash up art, and who knows what else by the time I visit next. The owner apparently opened a shop to sell his own toy/comic collection, then began selling his own art, then t-shirts with his art. I am not a toy/comics person at all, but I spent quite a bit of time here. It's definitely worth a stop.
