Altus, Arkansas, is the center of the state’s wine-making area. One of the vineyards, Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, is home to Weinkeller Restaurant, which specializes in Swiss-inspired food. The restaurant is one of several buildings designed to look like a village, but its obvious that the heyday—if there was one—was long ago.
Although it’s above ground, the restaurant is made to look like a wine cellar.
I noticed that the clientele—most of whom arrived after we did—were retired couples. Like us. Who else could eat lunch in the middle of nowhere on a Tuesday afternoon? We both ordered the smoked pork loin and were not disappointed.
The apple strudel we shared for dessert was good, but not great. Because of the pleasant drive through the country, the ambiance of the restaurant, and the good food, we may very well visit again.
