When Route 66 was established on Nov. 11, 1926, no one could have predicted that it would define a culture. Spanning from Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 became one of the most famous roads in America, and while it is no longer a part of the federal highway system, it has experienced a resurgence in public interest in recent years. Lucky for you Okies, Oklahoma has the nation’s longest drivable stretch of Route 66 and all the charm that the route entails.
Situated along the stretch of Route 66 between Oklahoma City and Tulsa is the wine and grape capital of Oklahoma, Stroud. On June 14, Stroud will honor both the Mother Road and its most famous libation in one festival. The Stroud Historic Route 66 Wine and Food Festival offers the 21-and-over crowd samples from wineries from across Oklahoma, but all ages can experience gourmet food, a car and motorcycle show, vendor booths and live music.
