1. Explore Historic Downtown Mount Pleasant
Walking through downtown is a great way to spend the day in Mt. Pleasant. There are unique shops, eateries, and specialty boutiques you’ll love exploring. You have to check our Nardello’s or Laura’s Cheesecake + Cafe while you’re there; Nardello’s is perfect for either lunch or dinner, and Laura’s is a staple for breakfast or lunch and grabbing a cheesecake for dessert later on. You’ll also find an incredible live music venue downtown called The Alley on Third, one of the top hidden gems in town!
2. Visit Local Wineries
Of course, one of the best things to do in Mt. Pleasant TX is tour the local wineries! A few places we recommend for wine tasting include:
Los Pinos Ranch Vineyards– this sprawling 40-acre estate features a delicious restaurant in addition to a relaxing tasting room. They also have live music and other special events throughout the year!
Zepeda Vineyard & Winery– their specialty is red and white muscadine wines. Their homemade sangria is also delicious!
Red Road Wines– you’ll find a little bit of everything here, from sweet to dry! Honey I’m Home is one of our favorites, a honey-colored, sweet Moscato that’s both deliciously fruity and floral. One of their newest blends, Tempranillo, is also fantastic, with accents of cedar, leather and spicy plum!
3. Tour The Mid America Flight Museum
The Mid Americal Flight Museum is one of the most popular museums in the area. It showcases preserved historic aircraft and aviation history while also honoring our nation’s veterans. You’ll find several impressive “warbirds” at this museum, including bombers, helicopters, and fighter jets.
4. Hike Scenic Nature Trails
Daingerfield State Park and Lake Bob Sandlin State Park are two beautiful areas for hiking, mountain biking, geocaching, and more near Mount Pleasant. At Daingerfield, we recommend the Rustling Leaves Trail, an easy 2.4-mile hike around the beautiful lake, or the Mountain View Trail, which is shorter in distance but harder in difficulty as it takes you to the highest point in the park. The trails at Lake Bob Sandlin are easy to moderate, with over 3 miles of nature to explore; you’ll be amazed by the abundance of wildlife and scenic views!
5. Go To Sweet Shop USA
If you love chocolate then you have to go to Sweet Shop USA! It’s a family-owned chocolate manufacturer founded in Texas, and this 80,000-square-foot facility is actually the largest handmade chocolate factory in the country. Famous for their truffles, Texas brags, and toffee, this is not your average sweet shop. Also, all of their products are Kosher!
