Food, wine, and tourism on Tennessee Backroads
I've just completed a series on www.Sweet-Tea-Travels.com about the small towns along US-411 and US-11 in Southeast Tennessee. A companion story on wineries and agri-tourism is slated to run in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on August 17th.
It's well worth a detour off I-75 to see places like Niota, Tennessee, whose young state legislator cast the deciding vote to pass the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
Or to drive through the valley between Cleveland and Charleston, Tennessee, where thousands of Cherokees were interned throughout the hot summer of 1838.
Or to pop in the McKee Baking Company outlet in Collegedale to stock up on Little Debbie Snack Cakes.
Or to participate in the great grape stomp, held every fall at Savannah Oaks Winery in Delano. (That's the one I don't want to miss!)
