We came here as a part of the hop on/off trolley tour. The woman who did our wine pour for us was super nice and friendly! They serve wine slushies, which are different than I'm used to. They pour the slush mix out of the mixer and then add wine. I didn't really care for their slushies and should have opted for an actual glass. The blackberry express was my favorite, but I prefer sweet wines. I think visiting the actual winery would be a fun time. If I was in the area, I'd stop back in and grab a glass or a bottle! read more

Came on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Great location and very knowledgeable sommelier. I wish I had gotten ours name. He was very patient, seeing as shortly after we arrived he was swamped with others seeking dry refuge. I recommend the Honeysuckle Rose if you like sweet. We also got their wine slushee. We have more to explore but this is a definite stop in Nashville. read more

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the private wine tasting (highly recommended). Our host was lovely and very accommodating. We also got to try wine slushees after - a must try - yum! It's a great place with friendly staff and of course great wine! read more

Spoke with Jodie via email about booking a private tasting. She asked me to call to confirm details. I called them to confirm and to make payment arrangements. Was told over the phone that we were down for 1pm and we were good. She didn't take my card info. Get there at 1pm and they don't have us down at all. They tell us we will have to come back later. The woman working was extremely unprofessional. read more

Worst experience yet in Nashville. Rude bartender and rushed through the whole thing. Was in and out within 2 minutes.

I have visited this winery twice and have been very impressed with the wines and staff. They staff is amazing and they have some really good wines also. If you want to taste some good wines, please visit them. read more

OMG!!! Kate is literally the best worker they EVER had!!! She deserves a raise and some! She gave us such a wonderful experience close to closing time and still stayed to make sure my family and I were good. I never experience such good customer service AND experience! We will for sure be back and buying from KATE!! Kate is the hero we needed without a Cape! read more

First time in Nashville and visited the winery and did a tasting. Fell in love with the Blackberry Express and will place my first order to ship back to Wisconsin. .... read more

Great place to go! Hannah and Kate were so very helpful in our wine selection! Would totally recommend! Must visit!

Picked this winery without knowing anything about it, it was the closest to my hotel. Once you step foot in this winery, you will know that you made the right decision. It is the cutest little place with even cuter things to purchase. My group and I did the wine and cheese pairing tasting in the private room that they have in the back. We had Jodi as our wine specialist and she was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable about what we were drinking and eating. Aside from how cute the place was and how wonderful the service was, the cheese and wines were delicious! I have never been a wine drinker, because I just turned 21, but this place changed my mind! I enjoyed the wine so much that my mom and I joined the wine club and I even bought a bottle of wine while I was there! I will definitely be back here. read more

Stood at the counter for 10 minutes just now. A male and female worker on the bar. 6 customers in the joint. My wife and i were the first ones there. They served everybody else and didn't even address us. They could have the best wine in the world and we will never know. I guess our money isn't good enough for them. I did thank them for their "great service" as we walked out. We are now at the Green Brier Distillery. read more

Delicious wine, the sweetest staff, and relaxing adult time while the kids shopped...there's nothing more this girl wants in life!! They can only sell tastings but they managed to work it out to accommodate this wino. Absolute highlight of the long day touring Nashville!! We went on a Monday so it wasn't busy. read more

Jake is awesome! I am here with 2 friends. We tried the flights. Really GREAT deal and really fun "bar tender." Highly recommend! Cheese pairing is only on the weekend though. read more

A great tasting room in the amazing Marathon building. We got there just before they closed and the woman helping us was very gracious about letting us stay a little longer. My friend and I had a fun tasting and I really enjoyed the wine. I belong to a few wine clubs (from CA) and I can recommend their white and red table wines, which is why I decided to order a case. Unfortunately, UPS messed up the delivery, but their manager, Jodie, was unbelievably helpful. She was very responsive to my emails and called UPS to straighten it out. Jodie's level of customer service went above and beyond. I love patronizing companies like Grinder's Switch Winery, as they really seem to give a damn, and they deliver a good product. read more

Hannah and Kate did a great job today. Everyone get out and visit these ladies while the waits are short. Great experience.

Great wine with very knowledgeable staff! Hannah was fantastic! 10/10 would recommend GSW for all your wine-tasting needs in downtown Nashville. read more

This winery was a great little find. We did sweet wine tasting & it was pretty good. We ended our tasting with wine slushies- peach & strawberry. Staff was great. Only downisdes- no seats at bar during tasting & wine list was short. We had looked online & there had been many more choices. Our favorite wine was their concord. read more

Those who are leaving the "what?! $3 for a wine tasting?!". I don't know where you buy your wine (maybe at a certain trader grocery for $5/bottle), but you're paying $3 and getting to choose what taste you like, and it adds up to being a glass of wine. That's beyond fair. Anywho, the staff were very friendly, even though they were super busy. Our girl told us she had been there since 11 (it was now 5), and that none of them had gotten a bathroom break all day because they were so busy! She said it with a laugh, she was not complaining. She was super helpful with informing us on the wines, and was spot on with how they would taste, so there were no surprises! Ever had chalky tasting wine? I have, so this matters! We left with two bottles of sweet! It's fun if you love wine, but have other things you want to do in Nashville! It's Nashville after all! read more

This tiny little winery is located in the shops adjacent to antique archeology. The shop is also one of the stops on the Nashville Trolley Tour. Being the tourist spot that this is, one would think that they'd have enough business to be open more than 5 days a week, but as we found out when we tried to visit the first time they are closed Monday and Tuesday. Nonetheless, we made a special trip to come back on Wednesday so that we could do a tasting. I did like that they had two different tastings - one for sweet wine and one for reds. They gave some good info about the wines and had a small section of things for purchase. If you are stopping here anyway for the trolley tour or are going to one of the other shops, it is a nice thing to do. However, I wouldn't go out of my way for this winery. read more

The sweet wine is divine!! The Marathon is a perfect dessert wine! I would definitely recommend coming here and generally love the marathon village! read more

Grinder's Switch Winery - Wineries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We walked in here after visiting antique archeology and we were probably in there for about 5 minutes looking at their merchandise and looking over at the bar every once and a while. We were looking around trying to find out how there tasting works as there is a big sign outside but no info. We are a little shy but without any engagement from the staff we didn't want to ask. The only time the staff acknowledged us was when we left! Not going back. read more

Great place! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great wines from locally grown grapes. "zephyr" was our favorite. And they have slushies! Will definitely return. read more

Great wine, knowledgeable and friendly staff good time glad we visited.. the whole location from winery to the shops was a hidden gem wine slushes are bomb omg my fav was strawberry with the switch red (their flagship wine) read more

Awful. Wine tastes cheap and the service is ..... also awful. Unlike most winery tasting rooms, they want you to pony up $6 to taste these bad wines even when you purchase an overpriced bottle. Avoid and go to the Distillery instead. Apparently Nashville is not immune to a bad experience. read more

Great restaurant! Decent prices and everything we had was delicious (sampler platter, tacos, Mac and cheese). Staff was super friendly and helpful, had a family of 7 including kids and we were seated and served very quickly. We will definitely be back anytime we're in Nashville! read more

Good service , cheap tasting option. Cider at the end with wine combo. Didn't love any of the wines but tastings are still fun !

Some friends and I had a girls day. We did the private wine and cheese tasting. This was my first ever wine tasting. I really enjoyed it. Sherry Williams conducted our tasting. She was very knowledgeable and I learned some things. I never once felt uncomfortable. She was great! read more

The wine &cheese pairing was such a wonderful experience. My cousin & I absolutely loved everything about it. Jess was our server, she was so sweet & gave us 100% of her attention, answered our questions & really knew a lot about the wine, cheese & Nashville area. We went in on a rainy day & couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had the private room all to ourselves, the ambiance was awesome and really made us feel like we were getting behind the senses, private pampering! I just wish I could remember what the cheddar cheese I loved! read more

Adorable small winery. The wines were good as well. They had fun and cute little items for purchase in the store.

My girlfriend and I had a great experience here. The other party for our wine tasting was a no show and it ended up being just us and the manager serving us wine. She knew a lot about the wine itself and the other local wineries in the area. We couldn't have asked for a better value for our money. We got to try 9 wines each paired with a different cheese or chocolate read more

This was a cute little winery. Highly recommend the wine and cheese pairing. The cheese choices are delicious and they go really well with wine choices. The staff is very informative and friendly. Overall a great experience and highly recommended!! read more

Delicious wine, fun atmosphere, and great staff!! Left with 4 bottles of wine, and will be back on my next visit to Nashville!!

This place was great. Wine was awesome and Jessica knew a lot about the vineyard, the growth of grapes, and the family who owns the vineyard. read more

Our bartender (Jeffrey) knew so much about the wines. The girlfriend and I came out for her 21st birthday, specifically looking for a bottle of wine. Jeffrey went out of his way to ensure we found that bottle. Great experience, great wine! read more

This place was simply adorable and all around a good time! They were so welcoming, the shop has the cutest things, and we got a nice little buzz and got to try 8 wines for only $6! Will be ordering a case online for sure. read more

I loved my visit to Grinder's Switch Winery! It was so fun to visit all the cool shops in Marathon Village in Nashville, including Antique Archeology, & stop in for a tasting of local, Tennessee wines. I learned that this is a family-run winery and I loved that! Everybody was having a great time & my server was friendly (cute, too). I got a flight of their 4 sweet wines for $3 (+ tax) & my friend got a full tasting, which included 4 dry & 4 sweet for $6 (+ tax). She bought a bottle of one of the dry red wines & I got a bottle of Blondy, a sweet, white wine made with Muscadine. So good! We had a blast & I can't wait to come back. read more

Staff was friendly and tasting wasn't too bad. I try not to rate based on the wine tastes alone, since everyone has different tastes. With that being said, the driest wine they had there tasted as sweet as Manischewitz to me. Plenty of other people seemed to enjoy the sweet wines though, so if that is your thing, then this is the place for you. They did have a raspberry wine which would make an excellent spritzer or cocktail ingredient. Drawback is that the wine is kind of expensive for what it is, and especially since you are buying it direct from them as well. read more

What a nice experience. I was pleasantly surprised. I tasted all of the wines and enjoyed most all of them but a few. It was a rough start since I didn't like the first one at all. I kept an open mind and they seemed to get better and better as I went along. I'm not really into sweet wines but I really liked the ones they offered. Specifically the last two given to us. The lady who served us was very kind and really explained everything very well. I would definitely recommend this tasting to everyone. If I had stayed longer I would have done the pairing with the cheese on another day. The slushy were also amazing. Great refreshing drink that is a must taste. read more

Hubby and I went in with every intention of buying a bottle of wine. I wanted to try a couple so I'd get one I enjoy but a tasting costs $3.00 or more. I told the young lady that I wanted to buy a bottle but when I taste I only want a thimbleful and didn't want to pay that much for such a tiny taste. If I had been the employee, I'd have given the old gal her thimbleful, accepted a tip, and sold the bottle of wine but that didn't seem to be an option so we left with no bottle. read more

We went here as part of alcohol tasting trio. It was not a bad stop and the tasting room is charming with friendly staff. The wines were ok, nothing to write home about. The pinot Grigio was pretty good but rest were average. Not a must go, but its nice to stop at small winery to check it out. read more
