Grinder's Switch Winery

Nestled in the rolling hills of Hickman County, Grinder’s Switch Winery is a family-run escape where Southern charm meets award-winning wines. Owners Joey and Gail Chessor transformed their hand-built log cabin into a welcoming tasting room, set on 110 scenic acres with a 7-acre vineyard and a production facility holding over 15,000 gallons of handcrafted wine.

Guests can enjoy daily tastings, browse wine-themed gifts, or relax on the spacious deck with a picnic. In cooler months, firepit reservations add a cozy touch, while summer brings food trucks and lively events. For those in the city, their Marathon Village tasting room in Nashville offers a taste of the countryside without leaving town.

Named after the real-life railroad switch that inspired Minnie Pearl’s fictional hometown, Grinder’s Switch Winery is rich in history, hospitality, and, of course, exceptional wine. Stop by, sip, and stay awhile!
