Sundown Bottle Service

Chateau aux Arc (pronounced "Ozark") officially opened on July 21st, 2001. It was the 5th winery to open in Arkansas since Prohibition, and the first and only winery in Arkansas to be owned and operated by a woman.  At that time Audrey House was the youngest winery owner in the world.  The doors opened in 2001, but the Altus community was reaping the benefits of Dragonfly Ranch well before then.  Local wineries benefited from her grape growing prowess and were able to purchase the fruits of her hard labor to work into their bottles.  

 

When Chateau aux Arc opened, she had only 2 wines: Chardonnay and Altage.  The wine selection has exponentially expanded in the 20 years she has been making wine, commanding the scene with a focus on 100% Arkansas grown vintages and winning multiple international awards each year.  The lineup grew with the vines, from a small harvest of Chardonnay to planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Vignoles, Syrah, Malbec, Barbera, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo, Merlot, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Niagara, Steuben, Jupiter, Neptune, Muscadine and Cynthiana, the State Grape of Arkansas.  Chateau aux Arc is a picturesque retreat for those looking to reconnect with the world of splendor around them over a glass of award winning Arkansas wine.
