🍺 Craft Breweries on Tap
Beer lovers aren’t left out—Broken Bow’s breweries are some of the friendliest places in town, with rotating taps and live music on weekends.
- Mountain Fork Brewery – Known for its craft beers brewed right in Hochatown, this spot has something for every taste. Try the Timber Creek Amber or the Sneaky Snake (a Belgian-style ale with a kick). They also serve great burgers and pizzas, making it a solid lunch stop.

🍹 Beyond Wine & Beer
Not a wine or beer drinker? No problem. Hochatown’s tasting scene also includes:
- Distilleries – Some local spots offer small-batch spirits and cocktails with an Oklahoma twist. Perfect for sipping something stronger.
- Cider & seltzers – More and more places now offer lighter, fruit-based options that are refreshing and fun.
- Mocktails & NA options – For families or guests who don’t drink alcohol, most tasting rooms also have sodas, slushes, or non-alcoholic drinks so everyone can enjoy the outing.
👉 Back at The Cove, you can set up your own tasting with lake views—stock the fridge with local finds and enjoy sipping by the private pond.
🍇 How to Plan a Tasting Tour
A little planning helps make your tasting day smooth and stress-free.
- Pick 2–3 stops – Don’t overpack your day. Choose a mix, like one winery and one brewery, then leave time to relax back at the cabin.
- Use a driver or shuttle – Many local services offer private shuttles for wine and brewery tours. That way, everyone can sip without worrying about driving.
- Pair tastings with meals – Many wineries and breweries have food menus, but it’s smart to plan a sit-down meal between stops.
- Shop as you go – Most spots sell bottles, growlers, or merch. Bring a cooler bag so your purchases stay fresh until you get back to the cabin.
- Keep it relaxed – Tastings aren’t about rushing. It’s about savoring the moment, chatting with locals, and enjoying the company you’re with.
👉 Staying at Grandview Heights makes it easy—spacious kitchen for storing bottles, big deck for sipping outside, and game room fun to keep the evening rolling.
📅 Best Times for Tastings
Wine and beer spots in Broken Bow are open year-round, but each season brings its own flavor.
- Spring – Mild weather makes for great patio sipping, with new seasonal brews hitting menus.
- Summer – Perfect for cold beers after a lake day. Breweries often host live music and outdoor events.
- Fall – Wineries shine here, with crisp air, changing leaves, and cozy tasting rooms.
- Winter – A glass of red wine by the firepit or cabin fireplace feels especially perfect in chilly weather.
👉 Whichever season you visit, the cabins give you the perfect end to the day—hot tubs bubbling, firewood stacked, and plenty of room to gather with your group.
🏡 Back at the Cabins
Your tasting tour doesn’t have to stop when you leave town. Back at the cabins, you can:
- Host your own tasting night – Bring back a mix of bottles or growlers and set up a sampler flight. Pair with cheeses, snacks, or s’mores by the firepit.
- Enjoy a private toast – Perfect for anniversaries, honeymoons, or just a quiet night for two. Pop open a bottle from Girls Gone Wine and share it under the stars in the hot tub.
- Pair with cabin amenities – A sauna session followed by a cold beer? A hot tub soak with a crisp white wine? Pure Broken Bow magic.
- Relax on the deck – Morning coffee is great, but so is an evening glass of wine as the sun sets behind the trees.
