DelMonaco Winery

What a wonderful little southern winery… We had a quick tour the views were nice and the building amazing for a wedding! During our tasting we met the owner as she filled a glass of wine for herself… Super nice and funny lady! We bought two bottles of wine to go home with, they didn’t last long. They sell bottles to help support the local college which is amazing… The wine wasn’t to shabby either :) if we are ever back in the area I will for certain try to take one of their themed train trips!!!

Del Monaco has a gorgeous exterior! When we arrived early on a Saturday afternoon, there were two weddings planned on site that day, and I can understand why! The grounds provide a picturesque backdrop of seemingly unending rows of vines. The interior is modern, clean, and expansive, with a 360-​degree light oak bar.
It is not hard to see why there are so many award-​winning wines at Del Monaco. Their meticulous attention to their grounds extends further into the precise nature of their wines.
The wines tend towards the sweet end of the spectrum, but dry wine lovers will find a few wines that they will love, too. This place has a well-​rounded menu and grounds that deserve a stroll.

Absolutely one of the best wineries I’ve been to. Wonderful selection of wines and breathtaking views! I rented the outdoor patio for a family gathering and wine tasting. Rachel made the day sooooo much fun! She explained all of the wines during the tasting and was very helpful while I set up the decorations and games (grape stomp) outside. It was a pleasure to meet Barb Delmonaco! Thank you for creating such a lovely place and sharing it with Cookeville! :)

Beautiful place! Try all the wines for $ 5. Whitle Stop was the best. Some great dessert wines if you like sweet… not so one dimensional.. Full of flavor. peach wine was good. wish they had a big red blend or something a little bolder. friendly staff.

My parents took me to DelMonaco for my birthday on March 15, and we had a great time. It was the first day of the year that wasn’t cold or rainy and miserable so it was a perfect day for drinking wine on their patio. William and Pam, the two employees who were offering the wine tastings were very friendly and welcoming. We did a tasting, but not a tour.
You can try all 13 of their wines for only $ 5 which is a great deal, and they just revamped their wine list. Another reviewer mentioned their wine is «horrible» and «unpalatable». I think that statement is really unfair, but I do agree the majority of their wines are SUPER sweet. I personally prefer dry wines, but the sweet wines weren’t horrible. They were not for my taste, but I could tell they were good quality wines. The most memorable wines for me were the Sweet Whisper Peach and the Jammin Blackberry.
The Sweet Whisper Peach is made exclusively with peaches-​no grapes at all. It was a little too syrupy for me, but the flavor was quite unique. My mom liked it enough to buy a bottle. The Jammin Blackberry was the best blackberry wine I’ve ever tasted. The sweetness was off set by the high alcohol content. I can’t remember the exact percentage, but I believe it was between 20−30% alcohol content. It tasted more like a blackberry liqueur.
The winery is about an hour and a half east of Nashville. It’s a really fun experience. If you’re visiting Nashville, I wouldn’t suggest driving all that way just to visit this winery, but if you’re already in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by. Center Hill Lake and Edgar Evins State Park are also close to this area and are perfect for nature lovers.

We recently had our wedding reception at Delmonaco Winery in the Grande Bella Ballroom and it was the perfect setting. Rachel, the wedding coordinator on site, is great to work with and easily accommodating. She responded quickly and was there to answer any questions during set-​up. We highly recommend taking a day trip to tour the vineyards and taste the wines.
Our recommendation: Sweet Whisper Peach

We had an awesome time here. They have cool gifts for sale, tasty wines and their private rooms would be a great place to have an event. Gorgeous facility and the staff was very friendly. Don’t get me wrong — it’s no Napa. But this was the best winery on the «Upper Cumberland Wine Trail,» hands down.

Sampled 12 of the 14 wines and really enjoyed the vast majority! Especially loved the peach and blackberry wines, as well as the «Dulce Nectar Morado» red.
They have a great event space for weddings, etc. and a lovely back patio area where you can enjoy wine, cheese, and crackers while overlooking the vineyard. (And if you didn’t bring your own snacks, you can purchase some and they will provide a knife and cutting board.)
DelMonaco is about an hour and a half from Nashville and an excellent stop on the way to or from Cummins Falls State Park!

I am love this place!
Its the best of both worlds– its a large winery with an amazing banquet hall and a large wine tasting bar. They are very equipped to deal with large and small groups. Barbara and David are also very sweet and once you get a good Margarita in David then he has some good stories for you!
Also I love the kitschy nick knacks for those wine lovers in your life.

I had a nice time on a LivingSocial adventure here at Delmonaco Winery. The staff was amazingly friendly and I loved the production tour. The facility is great. Owner David told some great stories by the bonfire and I found a few wines that I enjoyed. I liked the Whistle-​Stop Red and the Chardonnay best, but I think they’re more known for their sweeter wines, like the Blueberry dessert wine. Not being a huge sweet wine fan, I’m not sure I’ll make the ~90-​minutes-​from-​downtown-​Nashville trek out to Delmonaco super often. I did really enjoy my time here, however! The gift shop is super cute, wines are reasonably priced and the grounds are pretty.

Beautiful facility! Wow. Pristine gift area. Plenty of parking. Superb place for wedding receptions and/​or reunions.
