]]>Popular opinion suggests that, next to Virginia, Nashville has the best Fall foliage in the United States. This conclusion is based on the weather conditions and general color scheme in the Music City during this magnificent season. If you feel motivated to explore Nashville this season, then our experienced limo Nashville specialists know just where to look; we have compiled a list of some of the best locations, in and around the music city, with the most spectacular fall foliage views.
Old Natchez Trace
The Old Natchez Trace is a historic forest trail that spans over 440 miles from Tennessee to Mississippi. If you are in Nashville we recommend that you take the Western entry point near the Loveless CafĂ©. This entry point will immediately lead you to a large bridge where you will get a bird’s eye view of the forest’s Fall foliage. At Old Natchez Trace, you can either explore the forest in a vehicle or take one of the many hiking trails for a better opportunity to take in the scenery and immortalize the memory in photos.
The Whitestone Country Inn
Located along Paint Rock Road in Kingston, slightly over 100 miles from Nashville, the Whitestone Country Inn sits on 360 acres of perfectly manicured lawns that overlook Watts Bar Lake’s waterfowl refuge. The Whitestone Country Inn also offers guests 8 miles of pristine trails with some of the amazing Fall foliage scenes you will ever see in Nashville and its surroundings. You could also choose to take that special someone on the popular ‘marriage walk’ and create romantic memories that will last you a lifetime.
Fall Creek Falls State Park
Fall Creek Falls State Park is one of the largest and most popular state parks in Tennessee, spanning over 26,000 acres across two counties; Van Buren and Bledsoe. This state park is only 115 miles, or a two-hour drive away from Nashville. Here you will get to enjoy several lush waterfalls including Cane Creek Falls, Piney Falls, and the Cane Creek Cascades. Take a short walk that leads you directly to the lookout for spectacular Fall foliage views.
Radnor Lake State Park
Head over to Radnor Lake State Park in Oak Hill; a 17-minute drive from the city. The park spans over 1,300 acres and, in addition to all the wonderful colors you will get to see, you will also get glimpses of a variety of wildlife. There are numerous trails you can choose from, but we recommend the main trail winding around the lake’s circumference, which offers guests plenty of impressive foliage viewing points.

]]>Just because it's colder outside doesn't mean you can't turn up the heat on romance. It's great cuddling weather in Nashville, and the city is brimming with options to rekindle the flames of love in an existing relationship or ignite a new one. Make one of these ideal arrangements to spend some quality time together and watch what happens.
Candy Wonderland at Goo Goo
SoBro
Following a multi-million dollar refurbishment, the Goo Goo Shop on 3rd Avenue has reopened as a must-see (and eat) attraction. The new shop's walls are festooned with Willy Wonka-esque switches and levers, and displays recount the history of America's first combination candy bar, which is still a cult favorite. While you wait for the creative confectioners to prepare your own unique Goo Goo Premium bars, you may sip a boozy milkshake at a kiosk.
Dabble in Art (and Wine)
Germantown
You like to drink wine, don't you? Even if you tell yourself you have no artistic abilities. You won't care if your "happy little trees" actually look like angry shrubs after a couple of glasses and classes at Dabble Events. Any lesson will be a joy thanks to the instructors' encouraging attitudes, and you'll be able to take home a fresh artwork to place on your wall. Alternatively, you may look in the back of the coat closet. There will be no judging here.
Have a Date on Ice
Various locations
When the Winter Olympics come around every four years, people become temporarily enamored with the strange sport of curling, which is similar to shuffleboard on ice. "I could do that!" someone will always comment after a few minutes of viewing. Now is the moment to put your money where your broom is because Tee Line in West Nashville is Nashville's first official curling center. If you're looking for a more traditional ice date, the Ford Ice Centers in Bellevue and Antioch both offer public skating sessions, but you must register ahead of time.
Find the Magic
SoBro and Downtown
Over the winter, Music City transforms into Magic City (sorry, Birmingham), with some fairly excellent prestidigitation opportunities in the downtown area. House of Cards, a speakeasy-style restaurant buried beneath the Johnny Cash Museum, has a wonderful bar, a reasonable chophouse cuisine, and, most significantly, several different magic performances included in the price of your meal. Dress to impress and enjoy close-up magic as well as a larger showroom performance. With the Dream Hotel's "Magic in Music City" package, you can bring the magic to your accommodation. The package includes an overnight stay in a suite, as well as wine and appetizers delivered to your room prior to a private one-hour magic presentation by Michael John, the hotel's in-house illusionist. After that, it's up to you to work your magic.
Escape…Together
Downtown
Although it may be simpler with a larger group, the Escape Game allows couples to play alone as they try to solve clues in the allocated time to be liberated from a locked chamber, or you can participate in their online virtual challenges. Consider how proud your date will be of your collaboration and chemistry if you figure it out.
Candlemaking
Berry Hill
You never know when another ice storm will hit Nashville, bringing with it the usual power disruptions that come with it. You'll need some candles because the light on your phone won't last forever. At Paddywax Candle Bar, you may make personalized candles using a range of aromatic oils to create your own beautiful and fragrant tapers. While you're huddled in the dark waiting for the utility staff to arrive, you might as well smell great.
