Wine Down Wednesday

Valerie Summers, our new VP of Sales and Customer Relations at GMP, invited the GMP team to Arrington Vineyards for an evening of award-winning wine, dinner, music, and fun! Arrington Vineyards, located about 25 miles south of Nashville, is one of the most unique attractions in the Nashville area and is a popular spot for corporate events and private parties. Valerie’s husband, Kip, is the vintner and co-owner of Arrington, and we were lucky to be given a personalized tour and tasting by the expert himself. Kip and Valerie’s partner in the venture is Kix Brooks, from country music's super duo “Brooks and Dunn.


Our evening started with a tour of the facility, followed by a tasting of the winery’s wide selection of varietals, culminating with dinner provided by Stage Left Catering. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our last company outing of the summer. Thank you to Valerie, Kip, and Arrington Vineyards for making it a special evening. Watch for upcoming Arrington Vineyards special event packages from GMP - it truly is an outstanding location for corporate events and gatherings of all kinds!
