Urban Getaway

A great place to start your tour of Nashville-area distilleries is at Nashville Barrel Co. where you can have a dram, a bottle, or a barrel before heading to West Nashville to Pennington Distilling Co. where you can see them make their famous Pickers Vodka as well as a delightful Tennessee straight sour mash whiskey. Heading east into town you’ll want to stop at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, Tennessee Legend Distillery, and Corsair Distillery, which are all within walking distance of each other in the North Gulch district. After touring, tasting, and collecting your stamp at those fine establishments, you’ll want to stop in and check out the new Ole Smoky Distillery location in the SoBro district. After SoBro, keep heading south to enjoy the last few distilleries in the Nashville area. Nashville Craft Distillery offers tours and tastings and is pushing the boundaries of sorghum spirits. Nearby, you’ll find the Corsair Distillery headquarters and main distillery. Just a bit farther south in Berry Hill is Big Machine Distillery & Tavern, where you can sample their moonshines and whiskeys in a variety of flavors.
