Grape U-Pick orchards in Middle Tennessee, Including Nashville in 2024, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards for grapes that we know of in this area. Not all areas of any state, nor even every state, have grapes orchards that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! If I cannot reach them, I DON'T GO!

  Comments from a visitor on July 17, 2010: "We visited on 7/17/10 with our 7 month old daughter and it was great! The blueberries were amazing. So ripe and plump and delicious. They also had "pick your own" blackberries, but we just did blueberries. The "pick your own blueberries" were $14 for a basket (4 quarts, which is 8 pints) full, which is about 3 times less than the $5/pint we would have to pay for blueberries through our CSA. If you don't want to pick your own it's only $16 for a basket. We also went to the Ice Cream store & restaurant where we got super yummy cheeseburgers (with chips included) for $3.50. You can add bacon for $0.25, which we did. Very tasty. We really look forward to going back to pick apples and also to pick pumpkins and to enjoy the fall festivities (hay ride, train, etc) in October."
