Everyone knows about Tennessee whiskey but what about Tennessee wine? Sure, people from California likely think Tennessee should just stay in their lane and do the whole whiskey thing, but I think that Cellar 53 is onto something with their Tennessee wines! Cellar 53 is the winery experience that you need to have with great wines. They have everything you need for an enjoyable time here. Unbeknownst to us, Cellar 53 was having a 'Wildflowers and Wine' event the lovely Saturday afternoon that we happened to go there. There was live music on their covered back patio and out in front there was a food truck selling tacos, a stand selling goat cheese and fudge, a stand with sangria and then a garden tent with hanging plants and pots filled with flowers for Mother's Day. There were so many pros about our day here and the cons aren't really a big deal at all! Pros: -Prices: You simply cannot beat a tasting which is $5 for 5 wines! The bottles are almost all under $20 so you will not break the bank coming here even if you buy several bottles. -Wines: they have a good mixture of whites, reds and fruit wines which the fruit is Tennessee-grown. My boyfriend doesn't really drink wine but he loved the Brush Creek Sweet White (thank you Cellar 53 we have a new wino!) so we got a couple bottles of that one and one of their Wildberry wine. -Beautiful grounds: their back patio has comfortable seating with pillows and then picnic tables and other seating. They do have a corn hole set as well. -The staff: Since it is a family-owned operation one of the staff told us stories about the grounds and wines which we really enjoyed. Also, we bought a block of their herb cheese and crackers which they cut up for us in cubes and brought out to the patio. Cons: -Far for most. It is 30 minutes from our house but likely Nashville folks will find it to be more like an hour. It is worth the trip though! -Small tasting bar area. I would say that perhaps 8 people can stand up at the tasting room bar area at any time. Even on a busy day we only had to wait about 5 or 10 minutes before a couple of people left the area so that we could do a tasting, which wasn't too bad. There was an adjacent room to the bar area that looked like it could accommodate larger parties so I think that with advanced notice this wouldn't be a problem. Tips: -The payment option didn't give me a place to tip when I paid with my credit card. Bring cash if you'd like to show the staff your appreciation! -Bring a blanket and picnic items for an afternoon of lounging. There are plenty of shaded areas due to the many trees. read more

First off I want to say that I am by no means a wine person. After enjoying a wine & chocolate pairing at the Watertown is for Lovers event I really enjoyed the Harvest White and Sweet Red that I tried. My friend and I decided to head over to the actual winery just 20 minutes outside of Watertown. I was a little concerned when driving there that I had put it in my GPS incorrectly, it took me through some neighborhoods and lots of farmland (which I am not used to being a city girl!). Suddenly we pulled into a beautiful open land with signage that led you in the right direction. We were greeted by the most adorable "guard dogs," they were lazing out front and that's when I knew this was going to be a good visit. We signed up for another wine tasting, because heck I'll do anything that's $5. We sampled five different wines, and not being much of a wine drinker...I sampled all the sweet wines. The staff member that helped us was extremely knowledgeable of the process and the history, it was a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, but was partial to the Wildberry and the Sweet Red--which we grabbed bottles of. They also had cute decor that you could buy, funny wine glasses, and a large outdoor space that is perfect for a picnic on a nice day. I will definitely be back when that time comes for nice weather, a new bottle of Sweet Red, and to hang out with their 4-legged welcoming committee! read more

This winery was a perfect stop before heading into Nashville in a Sunday afternoon. The tasting room is located right off the highway on beautiful rolling vineyard lands. The young man hosting our tasting was personable and friendly. Petting the vineyard pups Oakley and Sugar made this stop worth it for us! read more

This is an absolutely lovely little winery. I have fallen in love with the Winterberry and the Strawberry is just amazing. The staff has always been very kind and knowledgeable. Keep in mind that when the weather is beautiful they will be busy so bring your patience with you. This is well worth the trip for. read more

I can not express how great this place is. The wine, atmosphere, and people made up a spot to go with a group or just the two of you.

If you are in the area this is a great place to stop and try some great Tennessee wines. Cellar 53 facilities and staff are welcoming and very informative. They even gave us a tour of the vineyard and shared their unique family story. They have several wines to sample and gifts made from their own grapes......try the grape jelly if they have any left! We also try stopping by at different times of the year ...this has yielded some very tasty seasonal wines. Shopping local and having fun....can't go wrong! read more

So glad we stopped in this winery! Such a cute spot, hidden down gravel roads. Cameron was amazing. So knowledgeable on wines and also recommended some other places to try. Which also turned out to be amazing. We had a great time tasting and chatting with Cameron. Our favorite wine was the Independence Red. Tastes were $5, and bottles were very reasonable. Relax with a bottle and play some of the fun games they offer or tour the vines. Thanks Cameron read more
