5 Best Wineries and Vineyards in Oklahoma!
During the late 1800s, Oklahoma had many vineyards where grapes for wine were grown. Prohibition almost killed the industry in the state, and then the Dust Bowl and Depression followed, which practically brought wine production to a halt. Oklahoma was a dry state until 1959, which made making wine very unprofitable, but vineyards continued to cultivate grapes. Since the 1990s, the interest in Oklahoma wine has brought new life to the vineyards. Here are some of the most notable wineries you can visit in the state.
