Destination Deep Dive: Nashville
What was once thought of as the honky-tonk capital is now a modern epicenter for fine dining and celebrity-endorsed high-end shopping. This change has turned Nashville into one of the most popular meetings destinations in the Southeast region. Its transformation over the past few years has opened the doors to more than just country music artists and fans—but a more diverse group of travelers and talent. Take a deeper look into some of Nashville’s renowned tours and venues, where even you can feel like a Nashville star.

Afterwards, guests will take a VIP Behind the Curtain tour of the Grand Ole Opry! There’s nothing like being backstage during a performance at the Opry, and your guests will get to experience it with a VIP Behind-the-Curtain tour!
This exclusive experience includes a private tour of the Opry backstage area just before show time.

Mint Springs Farm
Located just 30 minutes south of Nashville in picturesque Williamson County, Mint Springs Farm features a rustic setting perfect for casual and formal affairs. The 40-acre property makes this venue the perfect location for groups of all sizes and tastes.
Ole Smoky Moonshine + Yee-Haw Brewing Company
Ole Smoky Distillery is the leading craft distiller of moonshine and home of the world’s most visited distillery. They’ve expanded their presence in Tennessee by joining forces with Yee-Haw Brewing Company, one of Tennessee’s top craft breweries, to collectively open a complex in Nashville’s burgeoning area of SoBro. The venue, “Mashville,” features a distillery, brewery, bars, tasting areas, beer and bottle shops, merchandise, big screen TVs, and live entertainment.
