Did you know that there are quite a few wineries to visit in and around the Centerville area? The area is becoming more known for sweet and fruity wines, and you can make a day of it by exploring this unique area of Tennessee wine country.
Horseshoe Bend Farm Wines (Centerville, Tenn.)
Located on a 280-acre farm bordering the scenic Duck River, Horseshoe Bend Farm grows blueberries and blackberries on site, and other locally sourced fruits such as peaches, pears and strawberries are utilized to make the 18 wine varieties. Visitors can also visit the blueberry propagation nursery or learn about owner Dr. Ron’s amateur beekeeping activity. The winery, which has been in business since 2019, enables visitors to enjoy guided, complimentary tastings while overlooking the Duck River Valley.
Stop in on weekdays by appointment, hop on over for a porch pickup, or book an on site AirBnb or private event.
Grinder’s Switch Winery (Centerville, Tenn.)
Named after the imaginary hometown of Grand Ole Opry star Minnie Pearl, the winery is located on a 110-acre estate that used to be the family home of the owners. Since 2006 it has offered wines grown and produced on site, and visitors are welcome to come in for a free tasting. The winery holds the distinction of being named one of the South’s best vineyards by Southern Living.
Keg Springs Winery (Hampshire, Tenn.)
The winery’s name harkens back to Prohibition, when Hickman County was known for its (then) illegal network of whiskey runners. Keg Springs Winery features free tastings as well as free music on the deck during the second and fourth Saturdays between April and October from 2-5 p.m. Wine connoisseurs can also benefit from the winery’s flat rate shipping program as well as its wine club.
Bonus: Amber Falls Winery (Hampshire, Tenn.)
Judy and Tim Zaunbrecher purchased the property just on the other side of the Hickman County line in 2003, and thousands of vines have been planted since they began developing the winery in 2005. Award-winning wines, live music and special events with food trucks have transformed the winery into a cultural hub over the years. Opt for the original Chardonnay or Seyval Blanc wines, or test out a wine teazer (a fruit wine and tea fusion).
