1943-1945 WW2, McAlester was home to almost 3,000 German POW's. It's hard to believe that less than…read more80 years ago McAlester was part of such significant history. I have heard rumors that originally it was an interment camp for Japanese Americans for one year prior to housing Germans. I also heard that it was going to house Italian POW's but due to the local population of Italian immigrants they where housed elsewhere. It would be very interesting to dive more in to this part of our local history. The miniature castle was built by the POW's and there is another one at the old McAlester High School.

Whispering Meadows Winery was a delight! If you're a fan of sweet wines (like me), prepare your…read moretaste buds for a mini vacation -- their tasting was chef's kiss. I may or may not have fallen in love with every glass. My friend, who lives on the dry side (of wine, not personality), tried a couple white dry options and gave an approving nod to a couple sips. Huge shoutout to Eve, who crafted our charcuterie board that we're still wondering about this one item on the board -- looked like green olives, but definitely weren't -- and they were weirdly amazing. We forgot to ask what they were, so now it's a delicious mystery that haunts us in the best way. All in all, lovely vibes, goo wine, and a mysterious snack that may have unlocked a new flavor dimension. 10/10 would sip again

We really enjoyed this place!…read more We were in the area with our RV group and wanted to do some wine tasting. Whispering Meadows among others were on our list of stops. A large group of us overwhelmed this cute downtown tasting room and the staff stepped right up. You could tell they were used to getting rushed with groups as they gracefully handled us. Most of us did wine flights. Their presentation was really cool. For $15, we got 6 generous pours in mini-wine glasses set in a vertical wine-tree. So cool. I've found most wines in this area to be on the sweeter side. A bit too sweet for my taste. Yet, there were 3 wines (Choctaw Avenue, Whisper and Something to Talk About) we tasted here that we really enjoyed and we bought bottle of some of them. They also have a huge selection of wine and lifestyle related gifts and items in their store. The owner and staff were delightful. Check this place out when you're near McAlester, OK.
