Southall Farm & Inn Launches Tiffin Dinner and Seasonal Events
Just a few miles from downtown Franklin, Tennessee, Southall Farm & Inn is a destination where luxury and nature meet, welcoming both overnight guests and day visitors. Spanning more than 325 acres, the property features a working farm, a 2,000-tree orchard, walking trails, greenhouses, and sweeping countryside views. Whether you’re staying the night or visiting for a seasonal event or farm-driven meal, Southall invites you to slow down, explore, and experience the richness of the land.
Since opening to overnight guests in 2022, Southall has become one of Middle Tennessee’s premier destinations for immersive, nature-connected experiences. The luxury inn and spa, farm-to-table dining, orchards, apiaries, and lakeside setting are all designed to reflect a strong sense of place. Guests can take part in guided hikes, beekeeping demonstrations, wellness retreats, live music, and curated tastings throughout the year.
This spring, Southall is unveiling a collection of new and returning experiences that bring guests even closer to the flavors and natural beauty of the property. At the center of it all is a new culinary event that blends global inspiration with Southall’s deeply rooted connection to the land.
Introducing Tiffin Dinner at The Jammery – Every Friday and Saturday
Beginning Friday, May 23rd, Tiffin Dinner at the Jammery launches at Southall Farm & Inn as a new way to experience the flavors of the world, through ingredients grown just steps from the kitchen. Held Friday and Saturday evenings, this intimate five-course dinner explores a different culinary region each month, interpreted through the lens of what’s fresh from Southall’s farm.
Each Tiffin Dinner menu is grounded in Southall’s seasonal approach, celebrating what the land naturally yields throughout the year—from early spring greens to high summer tomatoes, autumn root vegetables, and winter herbs. It’s all part of the estate’s philosophy of living in rhythm with nature, where the menu isn’t planned months in advance but instead shaped by the harvest, the weather, and the expertise of Southall’s growers and chefs.
Set in The Jammery, a warm and welcoming space that reflects Southall’s preserving and culinary traditions, Tiffin Dinner isn’t just a meal —it’s a celebration of culture and connection. Seating is limited and reservations are required.
Live Music on the Terrace Returns
As evenings grow longer, Southall’s Live on the Terrace series also makes its return. Starting Friday, May 23rd, the Terrace lawn will once again come alive with the sound of local musicians, handcrafted cocktails, and views that stretch across the rolling landscape.
Each Friday night, guests can gather outdoors to enjoy live music, light bites, and drinks prepared with herbs, fruits, and infusions from the farm. Find a table and settle in as the sun sets behind the hills.
Upcoming Performances Include:
- May 23rd: Blue House Band — This Nashville-based band blends pop, soul, blues, and country classics. Fronted by Kara Frazier and Jack Holliday, they bring energy and familiar favorites that pair perfectly with a relaxed summer night.
- May 30th: The Deltaz — Brothers John and Ted Siegel offer a rootsy, blues-driven performance with vintage rock and classic country vibes. Their dynamic performance promises a night to remember at Southall.
Mother’s Day Weekend at Southall Farm & Inn
Southall is offering two thoughtful ways to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, available on Saturday, May 10th, and Sunday, May 11th. Guests can choose between an afternoon tea experience or a wellness-focused workshop, both designed to provide a meaningful way to honor the occasion.
Tea by Southall
This seasonal take on afternoon tea has become a favorite at Southall. Tea by Southall features a pre-fixe menu of sweet and savory bites paired with thoughtfully selected teas, with every item made in-house using ingredients from the property’s gardens, orchards, and greenhouses.
Guests can expect scones with farm jam, floral-infused pastries, and delicate finger sandwiches prepared with just-picked produce. Served in the Inn’s acclaimed restaurant, January, this tea service offers a comforting experience—ideal for honoring mothers, grandmothers, or anyone who would enjoy a peaceful afternoon surrounded by beauty.
The experience begins with a welcome toast featuring a selection from the wine cellar and concludes with a parting treat from the pastry team.
Mother’s Day Gratitude Workshop
For those looking to go inward and recharge, the Mother’s Day Gratitude Workshop offers a holistic approach to self-care and reflection. This workshop includes gentle yoga, mindfulness journaling, and group discussions on themes of motherhood, gratitude, and inner peace. The workshop also includes spa access from 4 to 6 pm.
It’s a guided, wellness-focused experience that encourages relaxation, reflection, and a break from the everyday pace.
Southall Honey Extraction and Bourbon Tasting – Friday, May 23rd
For those looking to combine hands-on learning with a refined tasting experience, Southall’s Honey Extraction and Bourbon Tasting event highlights the estate’s award-winning honey alongside a curated selection of premium bourbons sourced from regional distilleries.
On Friday, May 23rd at 3 pm, guests are invited to step inside Southall’s honey tasting lab for a unique event that begins with the extraction of fresh honey straight from the frames. Learn about the lifecycle of the hive and the story behind Southall’s award-winning honey, before exploring varietals from across the country, each with its own distinct character.
From there, the experience shifts into a curated bourbon tasting, where each honey is expertly paired with a locally sourced spirit to enhance and contrast the flavors. Guests will enjoy light bites prepared by Southall’s culinary team to complement the pairings.
The tasting begins with Stable Reserve Straight Rye paired with freshly extracted Southall honey and crispy chicken skin cracklin’. Next, guests will sample Honey Cask Finished Southern Collective Bourbon Whiskey alongside warm chicory honey and a rich mushroom bisque. The final course features Bourbon Barrel Aged Cream Honey, perfectly matched with dark chocolate bonbons for a decadent close.
Whether you’re a bourbon enthusiast, honey lover, or simply curious, this experience is a flavorful exploration of Southall’s craftsmanship, from hive to glass.
