The beauty of Tennessee during the warmer seasons goes truly unmatched. There's nothing quite like the cerulean blue of the sky dotted with puffy white clouds, the light humidity in early summer, and the fresh punch of cool you feel when taking a dip in the state's lakes and rivers. Of course, if you're looking to enjoy a bit of indulgence, then a trip to Villa Nove Vineyards in Butler, Tennessee just might give you the escape you're seeking. Beautifully situated and perfect for an adults-only trip out of town, this is one destination you may want to visit twice.

Villa Nove Vineyards is located just a few minutes from the banks of Watauga Lake, and its location high in the hills of Butler, Tennessee offers unbelievable views of the countryside. The location boasts a taste of "Tuscany in Tennessee," and the Italian-inspired buildings and winery atmosphere just might transport you to Europe.

Most events are held at Villa Nove Vineyards, but it does have a sister location, Watauga Lake Winery, that is perfect for an afternoon spent sipping vino. In case you're looking, Villa Nove Vineyards has been featured in High Country Wedding Guide, WeddingWire, and even The Knot for its stunning event space.

Just take a look at that view! Absolutely stunning, especially on a clear day.

Whereas Villa Nove Vineyards boasts a beautiful location for photographs and weddings, Watauga Lake Winery is open throughout the year and is known as the first winery in Johnson County. Both locations are great for an afternoon out, and the winery hosts events and live music.

If you do find yourself at either location, make sure you capitalize on the large number of wines curated for a tasting appointment. Villa Nove is only open seasonally, so plan accordingly.

Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards operate in perfect tandem, and the enviable duality of each makes it easy for you to visit throughout the year. We would recommend you bring a camera, of course. You don't want to skip out on the photo opportunities!
