What Is Sumner Crest Winery?

Updated

Sumner Crest Winery is a family-run winery and tasting room at 5306 S Old Hwy 52, Portland, Tennessee, opened in 1997 by the Hall family. It combines wine tastings, a gift shop, a grab-and-go deli, events, and a wine club in a 1900s-era tasting room. It suits visitors looking for a casual winery stop with food and shopping, rather than a formal seated tasting or restaurant meal.

What the Winery Offers

The site describes a single destination with several parts under one roof:

  • Wine tastings in the historic tasting room, with a wine list the owners say has expanded over the years.
  • The Grape Vine Grab 'n Go, a deli open every day, with chicken salad, pimento cheeses, specialty salads, and rotating seasonal items.
  • "Board Bites," a seasonal appetizer spread sized for two that comes with a locally hand-carved cutting board guests keep. The site notes these are typically a weekend item and available until they sell out.
  • A gift shop the winery describes as one of the largest in Tennessee, with a wide selection of gift items.
  • Events, listed on the site's events schedule.
  • A wine club with more than 250 members, plus the option to shop wine online and have it shipped.

Who It Fits

The winery positions itself around southern hospitality and community, and the site says staff aim to make each customer feel at home on every visit. That makes it a reasonable choice if you want a relaxed stop that combines a tasting with lunch or gift shopping, or if you are traveling with a leashed dog. If you are planning around food, note that Board Bites are usually a weekend item and sell out, so a weekday visit may mean choosing from the regular deli menu instead.
