Amber Falls Winery & Cellars

So happy we stopped in at this place! Beautiful winery and even better, because of their amazing and hospitable staff. Who knew Middle TN had wineries?! It's like $6 for 7 wine tastings and lots of great choices to choose from. Plenty of white, red, bubbles & sweet wines to choose from. Their store offers some great gift ideas and don't forget to take a bottle of wine for your home. Plus, the grounds and vineyard are really nice to walk around and take pics. They even have a large patio area. We went during the week, however apparently lots of of fun on the weekend with food trucks and music.

The drive in a little far so if you are in Nashville just visit their tasting room in Opry Mills, but we were in the area after visiting another winery and they did not disappoint. You get to taste 5-6 wines for $5 and they have a gift shop with chocolates and cheeses and sausage and just little cute wine related trinkets and clothing. I sampled w few wines but my favorite was the raspberry wine which came with a sweet treat of some chocolate candy. The candy was so good I had to purchase it. The sommelier was so nice and helpful and made sure we had an amazing experience.

Totally amazing place with such wonderful people. So worth the drive. It's a gorgeous journey and some of the best wine I have ever tasted. Thank you for such a wonderful wine tasting. I honestly felt like I've know you all forever. Our thanks

I attended Cajunfest and it was just a coincide because I didn't know it would be occurring. There was an option to do wine tastings and to buy bottles of wine, while listening to a live band. There was also Cajun food for sale. The inside tasting room was very nice and the staff was friendly & accommodating. I'm not from this region, but I'd love to return some day.

Recently visited this quaint little winery a few weekends ago and absolutely loved it. The drive is spectacular and the experience is even better.

Came across this winery yesterday. It is a really nice place with amazing wines to taste. They have something for everyone. The staff are really helpful and very friendly. We walked out buying 6 bottles. The price for wine is very reasonable as well. The gifts that you can buy are really fun to browse around and look at. By far one of my favorite wineries

Took a drive with a friend the other day who expressed the desire to visit a winery. Tried Amber Falls and Keg Springs (see other review). Each have a different character, so let's start with Amber Falls (and you can find my other a bit later today on my page).This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere. We took the trace (Natchez Trace) and you turn off US 412 about 1 and a half miles from the trace. You will know you took the right turn (Ridgetop road) from the brightly colored rock lining the road. The entrance is well marked and I noticed the empty sticks where vines used to sit. I found later they lost some varietals of grapes about 1-2 years back during a freeze. This reduces the number of wines they grow all of the grapes for by 2 (and a few blends). A loss, but the wines are impressive.Being with a friend, we got to share tasting samples (6 for $5), trying around 2/3rds of their wine selection. My favorites were the chambourcin (one of their varietals), the double barrel (chambourcin in French and American oak followed by aging in a four roses barrel), and the private reserve blend (my favorite overall). The most unique was the cajunfest wine, which was a sweet red that ends with cajun spice (subtle, but definitely there). The tasting room is very nice, although it may be too small for the days when they have music (weekends spring through fall from 3-7). And the staff was very helpful in describing the selections and parting with a bit of extra knowledge about the grapes, the winery, or the wine.There was live music this day, although we did not partake of the food or entertainment. On the first Saturday, they have a BBQ food truck that is reported to be the best in Columbia (also stated by a few others in the area, so may be true?). Other food trucks on other days. It looks like it would be fun to do that some time.They also have a cottage for those who have decided to imbibe heavily. It looked like two rooms in the cottage (you pass it on the way to the tasting room). I would recommend booking ahead (the couple next to us had one of the rooms and the pricing seemed reasonable).

Our first stop on our South Central TN Wine Trail tour was the highlight of the day. Every single wine was delicious!As someone who has been to countless wineries in Sonoma and Napa, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew the wineries in TN would be smaller productions, but what did they look like? What would the wines taste like? As the first one we visited, Amber Falls set the bar very high, and frankly, none of the other wineries lived up to it.Here are the tasting notes I jotted down.Blanc du Bois.. pleasant, grapefruitChardonel.. very light, nice (this was a favorite of the day!)Blanc du Bois (off dry).. this one was sweeterZinthiana.. honey! I loves this oneRaspberry Romance.. paired with gourmet chocolate, this was better than desertPeach Persuasion.. amazing, tastes just like a peachI also like how they give back to their community. 15% of every bottle sold of their Patriot red wine goes to the Family Readiness chairty.Our server, Damion, is excellent at his job. Very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. When we walked into the tasting room, he said we had to see the Christmas village they set up. He explained to us they change the display every year and it takes weeks to set it up and two weeks to take it down.For the tasting, Damion asked us what kind of wine we liked and we started from there. He showed us each wine label before he poured it. Listened to our feedback, and then decided what to pour for us next based on what we thought. I can't wait to go back!

This review is purely for their Opry Mills location, but I don't know where to review! Anyways, I am so glad I stopped by. My husband and I enjoyed a tasting and especially Mike! He was so knowledgeable, nice, and made us feel very comfortable.I totally recommend trying the Cajun one. It was fantastic and bought a bottle so just we could have friends try it!

The wine is great. I drive from Indiana only to get the wine. The owners are really friendly and we are going again for more
