Altus has been producing wine since the 1800s and is often referred to as the Wine Capital Of Arkansas. The most famous wineries are: Post Familie Vineyard, Mount Bethel Winery, Chateau Aux Arc and Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, the oldest and largest winery in mid-America. For a great view of the area, go to St. Mary's Church, where you can also find this microbox.

Directions:
From Hwy 64 in Altus, go north on Hwy 186 for about .7 miles to St. Mary's Church on the left. Park in the first lot on the left at a great overlook.
