Arrington Vineyards first opened its doors on July 1, 2007. From the beginning, our goal has been to provide an enjoyable “wine country experience” among the hills of middle Tennessee. Our vineyards were originally established in 2003 when Kip Summers and a fellow wine enthusiast purchased a 25-acre hog farm and planted our first vines. In 2004, Kix Brooks purchased the cattle farm adjacent to the original vineyards, and the idea for “Arrington Vineyards” began to grow. The cattle farm included a farmhouse that was remodeled into our first tasting room and retail store which we nicknamed “The Lodge”.
By April of 2007, Arrington Vineyards was officially licensed, and bottling began. We quickly made our mark on producing award-winning wines when our 2004 Syrah won “Best of Show” at the 2007 Wines of the South Wine Competition. In 2008, John Russell joined the winery partnership as we continued to rapidly grow. We added a bottle storage warehouse and began distributing our wines throughout middle Tennessee via Lipman Brothers. After Tennessee legalized wine shipping in 2009, our exclusive “Kix’s Wine Club” was born. We now have thousands of Club members enjoying our wine all over the USA.
