This former general store dating to 1851 (tin roof and metal facade still intact!) drips with countrified rustic charm, beckoning foodies for culinary getaways in the one-horse, once-abandoned town of Story 12 miles south of Nashville. Pair vintages from the Wine Spectator–awarded wine list with elevated Midwestern staples such as corned beef and cabbage with Smoking Goose wagyu brisket.
Consider spending the night as well – rustic rooms (from $164) and cabins (from $184), such as the Treaty House (complete with a burbling creek and a covered bridge right outside its door), make for idyllic romantic weekends.
