Nashville 3-Day Itinerary: Music, Food & Southern Culture

Nashville 3-Day Itinerary: Music, Food & Southern Culture

Three days in the city where the music never stopped. Available Year Round | Starting from $2,700 per Guest

Nashville doesn’t just play music — it lives it. From the room where Elvis laid down his tracks to the songwriter still working off Lower Broadway tonight, Music City rewards those who take the time to listen. This three-night itinerary moves through the heart of Nashville’s story: a morning at the Country Music Hall of Fame, an afternoon at the letterpress shop that printed posters for legends, and a live Opry performance that closes the first chapter perfectly. Add a food tour through 12 South, an afternoon at Cheekwood’s gardens, and a tasting at one of Nashville’s craft distilleries, and you’ll leave with a full picture of a city that’s far more than its neon strip. Transfers, touring, and reservations are handled — all you bring is the curiosity.

This is a suggested itinerary — we can tailor it based on your group’s interests and pace.

What Our Expert Designer Loves About This Experience?

“I love this journey because it gives travelers the essence of Nashville in a beautifully paced way. In just three nights, they experience the music history, the food culture, the live performance energy, and the quieter estate-and-garden side of the city.”

Three nights. One story. The heart of Music City.

Day One – Arrivals and First Impressions

Step off the plane and into the story. Your private car meets you at BNA and brings you straight into the city, where your hotel is waiting. The afternoon is yours: a custom boot fitting at Lucchese or Manuel Couture makes for an unhurried, deeply Nashville introduction. The evening belongs to the Grand Ole Opry, with dinner beforehand at Etch or Harper’s, and a first night that sets the tone for everything that follows.

  • Roundtrip airport transfers via private car (BNA)
  • Custom boot fitting at a Nashville bootmaker (Lucchese or Manuel Couture)
  • Grand Ole Opry

Day Two – The Music City Story

Begin at the Country Music Hall of Fame with a guided tour that brings the artifacts to life, then stop into Hatch Show Print, a working letterpress shop with over 140 years of history, right inside the museum. From there, a short ride takes you to RCA Studio B, the room where Elvis, Dolly, and Willie Nelson recorded. The day closes at the Ryman Auditorium on the VIP tour.

  • Country Music Hall of Fame | Guided tour with RCA Studio B
  • Hatch Show Print | Studio tour
  • Ryman Auditorium | VIP tour

Day Three – Nashville Beyond the Strip

Away from Broadway, Nashville has a quieter story to tell. The morning brings Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, the home of the seventh president. If there’s time before your flight, stop at Corsair Distillery or Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery for a quick tasting. Then it’s goodbye to Nashville, as your private car takes you back to BNA.

  • Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage | General admission
  • Corsair Distillery | Tour & Tasting or Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery | Distillery Experience + Whiskey Tasting
