Experience Tennessee's Wine Trail, 20 Years of Beans Creek Winery

Beans Creek Winery in Manchester, Tennessee, founded by Tom Brown in 2004, is a family-owned winery producing award-winning wines from local grapes. Brown’s passion for winemaking began in 1976 when he made his first batch from grapes grown in his mother’s backyard, a hobby that grew into a successful venture with the support of nine local families. The winery’s name honors Beans Creek, the last place where Tom made his wine before expanding to a commercial scale.

After Tom’s passing in 2016, the Brown family continued his legacy. His wife Becky, children, and extended family all contribute to the winery, reflecting its deeply rooted family values. Tom’s son Josh, a former firefighter and Jack Daniel’s tour guide, took over as winemaker in 2013 and as manager in 2015. His dedication to using Tennessee-grown grapes mirrors his father’s passion, and his favorites include Traminette and Apropos, a port-style wine.

Today, Beans Creek Winery is a community cornerstone in southern middle Tennessee, proudly offering a wide range of wines enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. It stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of family and friends, making Beans Creek an enduring part of Tennessee’s wine heritage.
