Escape to Wildly Beautiful Blackberry Farm Before or After the TapRooT® Summit
This year, the Global TapRooT® Summit is set against the blue-hazed beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, and Blackberry Farm is a short drive away.
It is described in this way, “As the sun rises over the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the morning mist fades to unveil one of America’s greatest hidden treasures, Blackberry Farm, a Relais & Châteaux resort in Walland, Tennessee.”
A mountain haven. Scrumptiousness for your palate. An idyllic weekend getaway. All on 4,200 acres of breathtaking scenery, with something-for-everyone nature adventures and activities.
Blackberry Farm, above all, is a working farm, producing quintessential Southern cuisine in a spectacular array of colors, textures, tastes — vegetables and fruits from the gardens, cheeses from the on-site maker, wild mushrooms, blackberries, and ramps gathered by the preservationist. The award-winning spirits from the farm’s brewery derive from farm-grown fruits and ingredients. All this together creates a highly celebrated “Foothills Cuisine.”

Here are a few samples of the amazing experiences available:
