Harvest Market – Sept. 22nd
The 2018 Harvest Market will again boast the creations and wares of local artists, farmers, and more on the charming grounds of Grinder’s Switch Winery in Centerville, Tennessee.
Wander through the canopies featuring displays of artisans, creators, farmers, and vintage vendors and shop from their wares. Metalsmitted jewelry, pottery, turned wood bowls, pasture-raised local meats, maple syrup & honey, farm tables & fire pits, hand stitched aprons and bags, small-batch soaps, and authentic vintage treasures are just a few things that will be available. From under the gazebo, symphonious sounds will fill the air performed by The Centerville String Quartet, starting at noon and playing throughout the afternoon.
Satiate any cravings with mouth-watering treats like philly cheese steaks, funnel cakes, fried pork rinds from the food truck (that’s only a few examples from the menu!).

What else?
That’s not all, of course. Inside the Winery’s tasting room you can enjoy free samples of their award-winning wines which range from dry to sweet and feature some estate grown vintages.
The much anticipated newest release from Grinder’s Switch Winery is Sintra, an exceptional port-style wine made with Touriga Nacional grapes harvested from their own vineyard in 2015. Touriga Nacional, is a red wine grape originally from Portugal and is widely considered to be one of the finest from that area (also the home of Port). Sintra has been aging in oak barrels for 3 years and the supply is limited —this one is so special the there is a charge for a sample.

Our owner and winemaker, Joey Chessor has been dreaming of his own port-style wine since the mid-90s. Joey was inspired by two family trips to Portugal where he sampled not only fine wines but also amazing vintages of traditional port. Then, when planning his vineyard, Joey became one of only two winemaker’s in Tennessee to include Touriga Nacional, a premier Portugese port grape, in his vineyard.
