Summer Traditions Nashville: Arrington Vineyards Wine
Planning summer bucket lists are just as important to me as planning that BIG- HUGE- MONSTER of a life bucket list. Summer lists can be easier to achieve, more local and just as fun. I can’t wait until our summer plans officially kick off, but until then I thought I’d share one of our favorite Nashville summer traditions and something that you should add to your US bucket list.
Arrington Vineyards is about one hour from Nashville, Tennessee, but you’ll feel like you escaped to the Italian countryside. It’s warm, peaceful, full of happy people and plenty of wide open space to clear your mind. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, but the winery is open everyday, offering music nights Fridays through Sundays and a special cigar night on Wednesdays.
You don’t have to bring anything with you, but I’d suggest a big blanket and some snacks to go with the wine that you purchase. They provide cups, so you don’t have to worry about that.
What’s on your summer bucket list? Are you planning to visit any wineries in your area?

What beautiful pictures! It looks like such a relaxing place.
Such a beautiful place to enjoy some wine and music! Great photos
Beautiful pictures! I love those close-up pictures of the grapes and of course, your lovely photo enjoying summer. I never would have guessed this was in Nashville. It looks so Californian. We love wineries and luckily, we live about half an hour from the Temecula wineries here in northern San Diego.
Oh wow, wow and wow! All amazing photos, but the first one is my favourite!
I’d also like to let you know that I’m hosting a 100 dollar accommodation voucher giveaway if you’re interested. Here’s the link: http://goo.gl/uUVqA
lovely lovely photos. Never thought of Nashville as a wine destination.
I agree about having a summer bucket list. The season is short and if you don’t do a bit of planning it can get away from you. It looks to me like you’re off to a great start. I never think of Tennessee and wine but now…
This looks beautiful and relaxing. It looks like a perfect summer day escape.
Beautiful photos! We are not wine-drinkers, but I think I could spend an enjoyable day in a place this beautiful and relaxing anyway.
I had no idea that there were vineyards in Tennessee! Love your photos – looks like a great summertime activity. We have made all of our summer travel plans but I need to put together a list of things to do close to home when we aren’t traveling. School lets out a week tomorrow and I can’t wait!
Love your shots, and what a great way to spend a summer day.
I never think about Tennessee as having vineyards. I just love vineyards and wineries — Arrington looks beautiful. But the best pic of all is of you two.
Nothing like wine, winter, spring, summer or fall! Glad I live within an hour of “Wine Country” here in Northern California.
Wine and Tennessee, that’s unexpected. Somehow I think of bourbon for that part of the world. Looks lovely.
Warm, peaceful, full of happy people? Really looks just like it. I’d love to visit. I really enjoyed wine tours in New Zealand, but this one looks particularly inviting due to the atmosphere.
I always have summer lists, especially because I get so much time off, so I always plan things I want to do both at home and on the road. This place looks really nice and I had no idea they made wine in that area!
More importantly: When is your Nashville trip this summer?!?!
