Mitchell Lawson

Arrington Vineyards

Top choice in Tennessee


During the popular and free Music in the Vines party (weekends April to October) you might catch co-owner Kix Brooks, of country-music duo Brooks & Dunn, mingling with the masses. With wine tasting, picnicking, bucolic views and live music, this party is a fun place to be in pretty weather. Take your pick of outdoor jazz or bluegrass in the barn.

For easy sipping, try the fruit-forward Stag's White.
