Wineries host special events throughout the fall, ranging from live music and themed dinners to walks and races benefiting local organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Find nearby agritourism farms, wineries, and all kinds of fall events at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.PickTnProducts.org\" >www.PickTnProducts.org<\/a> and with the Pick TN mobile app. Pick Tennessee is the service of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to connect customers to local farm products.
