Beachaven Vineyards & Winery in Clarksville, TN | Food and Wine

Beachaven Vineyards & Winery

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 family's 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 2007, 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 21 years, Beachaven has earned well over 450 awards, including 5 Consensus Gold and hundreds of gold and silver medals.

Our Wine List. We offer Dry Wines, Semi-Dry Wines, Sweet Wines, Champagne. All our champagnes are hand made in small lots using the ancient French technique known as "methode champenoise". This is a time honored process by which the bubbles are created from fermenting the cuvee in each individual bottle. The champagne is then aged for several years to gain complexity. The result is a high quality sparkling wine that, for us, garners accolades year after year!
