This is For All the Winos: Arrington Vineyards

Hey y'all! In our opinion, wine and food make a great combo, so we wanted to tell you all about Arrington Vineyards. Arrington Vineyards is a beautiful winery located in Arrington, TN, owned by the famous Brooks and Dunn musicians.


If you are looking for something fun to do that is budget friendly and a great deal of fun, Arrington Vineyards is the place to be. This beautiful destination is not too far outside of Nashville. It is actually located near Franklin, Nolensville and Brentwood. Arrington features all different types of wine and they have free wine tastings every day...even on Sundays.

What makes Arrington Vineyards so great is not only the good wine, but the beautiful Tennessee scenery that surrounds the vineyard. They have a deck outside with bistro tables and chairs where you can relax and gaze at the gorgeous landscaping. Also, there are picnic tables located throughout the grounds, as well.

In addition, in the summer and fall, they have live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. It is a great place to go and bring some food (perhaps some Martin's BBQ…it's not too far away) and listen to some great music. However, we must warn you, if you are going to go during these times, do try and get there early, because it can get pretty packed. On Fridays and Saturdays, the bands usually play from 5-9 pm and on Sundays 2-6 pm.

Another great feature about Arrington Vineyards is they offer gourmet picnics catered by either the Henpeck Market or the Red Pony. If you chose the Henpeck Market picnic special, they will supply you with a comfy blanket. All you need to do is order your meal 48 hours in advance. For details, call (615) 794-7518. Also, another great restaurant caters as well. No other than The Red Pony (y'all know us chowhounds love the RP)! They offer vineyard picnics that include a packed cooler, tablecloth, utensils, napkins, plates and wine glasses. They also ask for orders to be placed 48 hours in advance. Call (615) 595-6070 for more details.

If you are looking for a fun place to go on a date or even a great place to hang out with friends Arrington is the place. Another great time to go is during the day when it is not crowded and you can just relax and enjoy the beauty while sipping on some delicious wine. Also, we suggest the Raspberry Sweet desert wine. It is fantastic with chocolate.
