An afternoon spent at a Tennessee winery is an afternoon well spent, folks. Sure, the Napa Valley in California may be known world-wide as a beautiful place to experience sun, community and wine, but we’d argue our countryside Tennessee wineries should have a moment on a pedestal, as well. Where else will you couple rolling hills and kind southern hospitality? Where else can you pop from small town to small town, and experience the grace of open minded community, over and over again? If you’re looking for a fun weekend experience, one of these ten small town wineries in Tennessee is sure to delivery.
