Pick Tennessee Products
In the early 1900's, Tennessee, like most states at that time, had many small vineyards producing thousands of gallons of wine. Then, in 1919, Prohibition put an end to commercial winemaking in Tennessee for many years to come.
In the late 1970's, Judge William O. Beach pioneered legislation that revived Tennessee's wine industry. His years of successful amateur winemaking sparked the desire to open a commercial winery in his home town of Clarksville, Tennessee. By the early 1980's, Judge Beach and his son-in-law Edward Cooke planted a large commercial vineyard. Then, in 1986, Judge Beach, Ed and Louisa Cooke founded Beachaven Vineyards & Winery LTD. Beachaven quickly established a reputation for wine quality and vintage consistency. Since Judge Beach's death in 1991, the Cooke family has continued to build on the dreams and successes. Beachaven is leading Tennessee's winemaking comeback. Every year, Beachaven continues to expand production to meet ever increasing sales. As of spring 2009, we have more than tripled our wine storage capacity, crushing-pressing speed, and our bottling line speed. Our premium quality grapes and our modern winemaking technology combine to make Beachaven wines among the best in the world. Sales and competition awards confirm this. At regional, national and international award competitions spanning 23 years, Beachaven has earned well over 500 awards, including 7 Consensus Gold and hundreds of gold and silver medals.
Beachaven Winery is also known for more than just great wine. Jazz on the Lawn has become an event with a life of its own. We have grown from a few hundred attendees in 1987, to thousands of picnicking guests! Couples, friends and families come to relax, listen to music and taste wine in a unique outdoor setting.
