It's hard to imagine that some of the country's top chefs and vintners can be found on a given weekend in sleepy Walland, Tennessee. But the proprietor of Blackberry Farm has made it his mission to put the top-rate inn on the culinary map. Owner Sam Beall has orchestrated an amazing collection of cooking schools and gourmand getaways which are offered throughout the year. Each event features the culinary genius of Chef John Fleer's Foothills Cuisine, a blend of haute cuisine and country food indigenous to the area and in keeping with the seasons. A celebrity guest chef and/or vintner join Chef Fleer and an intimate group of food and wine lovers for the culinary trip of a lifetime.

Accommodations are at the legendary Blackberry Farm, consistently rated one of the best small, luxury hotels in the United States. It was voted best small hotel by the Zagat Guide and has been honored to be on the Conde Nast Gold List for several years running. Rooms feature antiques and fine arts, down bed covers, thick robes, specialty soaps and lotions. Whether you stay in the main house or in a cottage suite you will enjoy pampered luxury. During your free time enjoy a wealth of activities on the 2500 acre estate, from spa treatments to fly fishing, horseback riding or soaking up the view on a wide stone veranda.
