If you want to find a variety of specialty shops while getting a taste of Amarillo's past, check out the Historic Route 66 downtown. The shops usually don't stay open late, so starting your shopping excursion either just after 10 am or before 5 pm is a good idea. Aside from these great little stores, you'll enjoy the rustic architecture that harkens back to a time when there were horses in the streets instead of cars. Even with it's modern update this area has retained that dusty, old-time feeling and a lot of character that you'll enjoy while shopping the streets of this district.

Set the stage for a perfect evening for you and your partner, as you enjoy the bouquet of aromas and tastes from wines made in the Lone Star State at the Bar Z Winery. The winery features a beautiful facility, with everything from intimate tables lit by candles to a beautiful panoramic view of the canyon. Come and enjoy a glass of wine and an unforgettable evening. Despite the fact that wineries in California have gotten much attention, the first winery was actually established in Texas back in 1662. The state has quietly been producing wine ever since, and is now the fifth largest wine-producing state in the U.S. Sip a glass of Texas wine, and be pleasantly surprised.
