Arrington Vineyards

When you think of wine country, Tennessee may not come to mind first, but a visit to Arrington Vineyards will have you thinking maybe it should! Arrington Vineyards provides a wine country experience complete with award-winning wines and wine tasting flights you would expect to find at a winery, but where Arrington Vineyards sets itself apart is the magical mixture of wine, music, and scenic beauty. “Music in the Vines” - free live music on the weekends at multiple locations around the winery - can be found at Arrington Vineyards most of the year, all set amongst the picturesque rolling countryside of Williamson County.

This Franklin-area winery has slowly turned into a Southeast sensation, drawing both awards and visitors from around the country. Owned by Country Music Hall of Fame member Kix Brooks, winemaker Kip Summers, and entrepreneur John Russell, Arrington Vineyards has indeed become Franklin’s wine country, blending those picturesque views, live music, and wine into unforgettable experiences.

The beautiful property sits on 95 acres, providing ample room to spread out and spend a day enjoying the rolling hill views of Middle Tennessee. Visitors can also roam through 16 acres of the vineyard or visit five different tasting rooms throughout the property. While it is permissible to bring your own picnic to enjoy at the vineyard, those who prefer just to show up can plan to have a picnic of their choice waiting for them from gourmet food basket company Simply Living Life, which will take care of all the details from lunch to tablecloths

and drinkware. Visitors can spread their picnic out on the vast lawn or set it up in one of the many shaded picnic areas.

You can choose from 21 award-winning red, white, and dessert wines, each of which is produced and bottled on-site. Some popular varietal staples include Stag’s White and Red Fox Red, along with the Firefly Rosé. Fans of bold flavor will want to try the KB Select vintage, handpicked by Kix Brooks, or those that love a whiskey barrel finish can find delight in the Antebellum White & Red collections.
