Oklahoma Wine Trails Wine App Now Available |
Oklahoma Agritourism has launched the Oklahoma Wine Trails passport program. The program will include nine regional wine trails with collectable stamps and prizes.
“Our new passport program is the perfect ‘bite-sized’ adventure to get folks out to our vineyards and wineries,” said ODAFF Viticulture and Enology Coordinator Madi Franklin. “We hope by breaking up our 43 producers into regional trails, exploring our wine regions will be more approachable and easier to complete.”
According to ODAFF, the passports are only available at the vineyard and winery locations.
Oklahomans who are a fan of Oklahoma wines can expect the passport program to make your tasting experience better with nine trails scattered around the state, the passports offer the opportunity to try local Oklahoma wine, meet passionate producers, see some incredible landscapes, and collect fun prizes. The Oklahoma Wine Trails passport program is your guide to a fun filled day or weekend trip in Oklahoma.

Sponsor Spotlight
The Oklahoma Pork Council, a farmer-led organization, represents the interests of all Oklahoma pig farmers. From large-scale commercial operators to first-time 4-H and FFA exhibitors, we hope every Oklahoman who raises pigs has been positively impacted by our mission.
According to an economic impact study for the National Pork Board:
1. Oklahoma’s pork industry supports more than 34,000 jobs throughout the various stages of production. That translates to one in 50 Oklahoma jobs, many in rural communities.
2. Oklahoma hog sales generate over $976 million in annual cash receipts. That means pork serves as Oklahoma’s second largest agriculture enterprise after cattle production.

Cattle Industry Leader Bob Drake sits down and talks with Ron Hays about his lifetime of service in the cattle business. Drake has served as the President of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, the last President of the old National Cattlemen's Association and Vice President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.
He loves politics and being a change agent for the cattle producer back up at the fork of the creek. Drake had a front row seat as the Beef Checkoff was approved by cattle producers and he believes it's way past time to find a way to get a second dollar at the national level.
