Haskell
Skip Haskell unless you are driving the Okmulgee Beeline and want a wine-tasting stop: 1–2 hours for the Lavender Festival (mid-July) or a tasting at Stone Bluff Cellars.
Haskell is a small Oklahoma town of about 2,000 people, best known for Stone Bluff Cellars winery and its annual Lavender Festival in mid-July. There is no public transport; you need a car. Most travellers pass through on the Okmulgee Beeline between Bixby and Okmulgee. Half a day covers the winery and a meal; the festival adds a few hours.
