Brides and grooms plan for the most unique experiences for their guests from destination weddings to having the time from engagement to ceremony based on themes.
So too for the bachelorette and bachelor celebrations. Here’s an affordable trip idea for those that want to spend that last single-status weekend out of town:
The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel is offering guests an exclusive glimpse into Nashville’s most notable micro distilleries with its new “Whiskey Weekends” package (why not, ladies?). Featuring never-before-open-to-the-public distilleries Popcorn Sutton’s Tennessee White Whiskey Distillery and SPEAKEasy Spirits (home of Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream and Collier & McKeel), plus the popular, award-winning Corsair Distillery, this package offers a unique opportunity that even the savviest Nashville natives are unlikely to have experienced.
The package, with rates from $319, includes a two-night weekend stay (based on double occupancy) in a luxurious room at the newly renovated Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, plus two complimentary libations in Nashville’s newest late-night spot, Mason Bar.
On Saturday afternoon, guests are whisked away on an exclusive distillery excursion where they will get to tour the distilleries with expert distillers and sample local, top-shelf spirits at select locations. Guests will also receive a swag bag filled with mementos from each distillery including t-shirts, a shot glass, treats from Bang Candy Company and more, plus a bottle of whiskey to take home.
Located in Nashville’s exclusive Midtown, Loews Vanderbilt Hotel offers a contemporary escape in the heart of Music City. Renovated in 2013, the hotel features modern, tech-savvy gathering spaces to casually mix and mingle. Its Southern brasserie-style restaurant, Mason’s, offers traditional Southern dishes with a French twist, while a rustic, public house-style bar, Mason Bar, serves local beers, wines and spirits in a casual cool setting. The hotel is located just one mile from the famous Music Row and within walking distance of Vanderbilt University.
