What Food and Shopping Options Are Available at Sumner Crest Winery?

Updated

Sumner Crest Winery offers more than tastings: visitors can eat at The Grape Vine Grab 'n Go deli, order seasonal "Board Bites" appetizer boards, and browse one of the largest winery gift shops in Tennessee. All three are at the same address as the tasting room — 5306 S Old Hwy 52, Portland, TN 37148 — so food and shopping fit into a single visit during tasting room hours.

The Grape Vine Grab 'n Go

The deli is open every day and focuses on freshly made items with locally sourced ingredients. According to the winery, its chicken salad is a standout, and the menu also includes pimento cheeses, specialty salads, and other options. The format is grab-and-go, which makes it a practical stop for a quick bite rather than a full sit-down meal.

The winery also rotates seasonal items through the year, so the exact selection can change depending on when you visit.

"Board Bites" Appetizer Boards

"Board Bites" are a seasonal display of hors d'oeuvres sized to serve two. Each order comes with a locally hand-carved cutting board that guests take home as a souvenir.

Two practical details matter here:

  • Timing: Board Bites are typically a weekend item.
  • Availability: They are offered until sell out, so an early visit on a weekend gives you the best chance of ordering one.

The Gift Shop

The winery describes its gift shop as one of the largest in Tennessee, with a broad selection of items suitable for gifting — or for yourself. The winery also points visitors to its social media accounts for discount codes when applicable, which is worth checking before a shopping-focused trip.
