Nashville - 12South Secret Food Tour

What your day looks like

Traverse the trendy elegance and small-town charm of Nashville’s most iconic corridor on our 12 South Food Tour, a curated stroll through a district that perfectly balances its residential roots with high-end Southern chic. This route captures the transformation of Nashville from a quiet trolley-car suburb into a world-class destination for fashion and country music royalty. As we wander down the vibrant 12th Avenue, you’ll feel the creative pulse of a neighborhood where stars like Sheryl Crow and Holly Williams have left their mark. We’ll pause for essential photos at the legendary Nash Angel wings and the original "I Believe in Nashville" Mural, symbols of a community that prides itself on local grit and global style. Our journey reflects the district’s neighborly habits, where the culture of "stopping by" is built into the architecture. You’ll explore historic landmarks like the 1920s-era Waverly Belmont Elementary and the lush greenery of Sevier Park, home to the historic Sunnyside Mansion. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the neighborhood’s famous residents, from Reese Witherspoon to Dolly Parton, who have helped turn these few blocks into Nashville's premier social hub. The gastronomy here is a sophisticated reflection of Nashville's communal culture, blending artisan techniques with deep-rooted comfort. You will experience a narrative of flavor that includes Migas Breakfast Tacos, the district’s famous 100-Layer Donuts, and savory Brisket Quesadillas. The experience continues with a bold Hot Pork Taco paired with a decadent Grits Casserole. To cap off the afternoon, we reveal our award-winning Secret Dish, a mystery treasure that serves as a nostalgic tribute to the hospitality and musical memories of the South.
