ARKANSAS WINE COUNTRY

Less than an hour from downtown Fort Smith, you can discover the "Wine Capital of Arkansas," in and around the quaint community of Altus, Arkansas. 

Altus is the heart of scenic Arkansas Wine Country in the Arkansas River Valley. Visitors receive free tastings tours at award-winning vineyards and wineries, and can shop in their gift shops and dine in their restaurants. A splendid day trip from Fort Smith.
