On our way to Nashville from Little Rock, we found this location to add to our enormous record of winery tastings. It was stupendous!
This is one of three locations for this winery--this is where their vineyards are growing. The tasting room and shop are in a log cabin where they were expanding the deck on the day of our visit. We stood at the bar and relished free tastings of all of their dry wines and their semi-sweet rosé and learned that they genuinely knew well what grapes to grow in Tennessee, and how, and what to do with them after harvest. My opinion: their chambourcin was best of all.
If vineyard/wineries are for you, this one is special.

Several reviews state “off the beaten path but worth it”. We agree. A very quaint, relaxing atmosphere. They have a list of sweet wines, and one of dry. Several of the sweet include wines with dominant fruit flavors. The hostess was very pleasant and accommodating. She was also extremely knowledgeable of the different wines. There is also a lot of wine related gift type items which makes the experience fun. We also found cheese that we had bought somewhere else and really liked it, so that was a great addition! Fifteen percent discount when purchasing a case (12 bottles). We highly recommend a stop here.

Grinder Switch Winery has an amazing atmosphere! I've been going there for years and have been a member of their wine club for several years. They have a great selection of both sweet and dry wines available. They will allow you to try them all if you're undecided! The owners and staff are absolutely top-notch. They are always very welcoming and friendly. You will need to follow them on social media to keep up with all the wonderful events and food truck days they have there as well.
If you haven’t been here, put it on your list of things to do. You won’t be disappointed.
My favorite wines are the Honeysuckle Rose and Switch Red.

Its off the beaten path but well worth it. The staff was very helpful and really nice to talk to. The wins they have can fit any pallet...white, red, dry, etc. My wife lived the Blondey and we both agreed on the Honeysuckle Rose. The prices are very affordable.

This was such a joy to find. We enjoyed the trip into Centerville and most definitely enjoyed the visit with the wine maker/owner. He was very fun to visit with and the wine was great. Some winemakers just have the "nack" of making great wine and he is definitely one of them.
Great place, great wine.

I am sure you have often wondered if the place that Minnie Pearl talked so much about existed. It did and still does! A few short miles down the Minnie Pearl Expressway off I 40 you will see signs to the left that lead you to the quaint Grinder's switch Winery. There in the cool of several old trees and beautiful flowers, you will find a small company store with tasting room. The ambience of the room is very nice and refreshing. The Winery has a few offerings from dry wines to the sweet and everything in between for you taste. The owner gives a brief history and the tasting begins. The store is not cluttered with tourist offerings, it sells a few items other than wines. We will return!

We were driving from Nashville to Memphis and decided to visit this lovely vineyard on our way. What a lovely surprise awaited us.This is a family run winery with its charming cabin situated in the middle of beautiful and peaceful surroundings.We sampled their selection of wines whilst our wonderful hosts described each wine
with great enthusiasm.The shop not only has its wine but also a nice selection of things to buy. Outside there are sitting areas to either just to relax .We had a picnic with the leftover food we had brought with us from Nashville. We were then invited to look at their vineyard and meet one of their two dogs Honey a beautiful golden labrador. This is such a great stop on our journey and loved it so much we wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely visit Grinders again if we are in the area.

Love this winery! I take everyone who comes to Tennessee for a visit. The tasting takes place in a log cabin, which was built by the owners of the winery. I am a huge fan of the Switch Red wine, so make sure you give it a try when you stop in.

Out of the way, 12 miles from I-40, but well worth the trip. We prefer the sweet wines but occasionally like dry wine and they have both & several we like.

Is your establishment pet friendly? We're traveling with 2 dogs (GSD mix & Lab mix) that we try to take with us on all our adventures rather than leaving behind at camper.

I just looked this up on their website. Since they have their own animals on site, they do not allow other pets. Sorry.
