Alvord

If you are looking for Wise County in its most natural state, look no further than Alvord.

The nearby LBJ National Grasslands contains more than 20,000 acres of tall-grass prairie interspersed with the post and blackjack oak Cross Timbers. It draws campers, horseback riders, hikers, fishermen and more to its natural beauty.

The fertile soil has also proven well-suited for wine making at Market Cellars Family Winery and Brushy Creek Vineyards, whose wines are internationally recognized for their quality.
