Tour Destinations

 

Local Smokehouse

Barbecue Tour Nashville at Edley's with Brisket

Tours alternate between two of our favorite local smokehouses, Edley’s and Von Elrod’s. All barbecue is smoked fresh daily using local white oak wood, low and slow. Plus, both offer made from scratch sides to complement smoked meats perfectly using classic Southern recipes.

Bearded Iris Brewing

Bearded Iris Brewery Tour Nashville

Bearded Iris Brewing is one of the South’s most talked about breweries. The relative newcomer and its Germantown taproom are already turning heads. Thrillist picked Bearded Iris as one of its “32 Hottest Breweries in America” and Men’s Journal singled out the Homestyle IPA as Tennessee’s standout offering for the “50 Best Craft Beers in the United States.” Brewers specialize in IPAs, DIPAs and pale ales.

Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery

Nelson's Green Brier Whiskey Tasting and Tour

Before Prohibition, the original Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in Robertson County was one of the largest producers of Tennessee whiskey in the world. Today, taste and see how founder Charles Nelson’s descendants are making a new whiskey with his original recipe. The revived the whiskey brand’s Nashville distillery produces Nelson’s Tennessee Whiskey, Belle Meade Bourbon (which Southern Living called “The South’s Best Bourbon”), and Louisa’s Liqueur.
