Diskin Cider is proud to be Nashville and Middle Tennessee’s first commercial craft cidery, bringing true craft cider to Tennessee and the South. Bridging the gap between wine and beer, Diskin Cider’s fresh, flavorful, small-batch ciders break the mold of overly sweet cider with the natural flavor of fresh pressed apples. Diskin not only provides a variety of cider options, but local beers and homemade cocktails as well an an elevated food menu including Sunday brunch.
I have been to Diskin multiple times after stumbling upon it a couple of years ago. Great cider, great service and staff. I went to the drag brunch this past weekend and it was AMAZING. The show was fabulous. Also Diskin was so thoughtful in the set up and execution of this event. Diskin is definitely a must go if you are looking for a great atmosphere and great cider.

I suppose most people visit Andrew Jackson's Hermitage to get a perspective on the history of Nashville, Tennessee. Well, that certainly is an important part of it. But don't pass up an opportunity to visit Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum to get another perspective. Located at 636 Farrell Parkway, the two-story structure with four rooms was built in 1799 by Judge John Overton, who was an advisor and close friend of Andrew Jackson. In fact, he was a co-founder of Memphis, Tennessee. An addition was made to the house in 1812 to accommodate more members of the Overton family and a long ell was added in 1820 when Overton married a widow with five children. He died at Travellers Rest in 1833. A final addition was added in 1887. At one time, the plantation covered 1,050 ares and was worked by 80 slaves. Historically, it is significant because Overton discovered a large number of prehistoric skulls on his property. Today, archaeologists know that the remains were part of a large Mississippian village site. The house was saved from demolition and restored in 1954 to become a museum when construction of a visitors center uncovered additional human remains from a prehistoric period. During a one-hour guided toour, visitors can view exhibits that document the life and work of John Overton, his relationship with Andrew Jackson and the history of the Overton plantation and Nashville during the Civil War, then explore the lavish gardens that surround the plantation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.

It's where unforgettable moments happen every week...moments like the night Trace Adkins revealed a tweet inviting his pal Blake Shelton to become a member of the Opry. With country music's new stars, superstars, and legends live on stage, you never know what'll happen next. See the show that made country music famous.
