South Central Tennessee is a place where stories aren’t manufactured; they’re inherited, lived, and still unfolding. At Experience Tennessee, we partner with journalists, content creators, influencers, and media outlets who are looking for destinations with real depth, places where history matters, culture is tangible, and experiences feel earned rather than staged.

​

This region sits at the crossroads of American music and whiskey history. From the backroads that shaped early country, blues, and gospel traditions to the distilleries that helped define Tennessee whiskey as a global icon, South Central Tennessee has long punched above its weight in cultural influence. These aren’t just attractions; they’re living industries, family legacies, and communities that still welcome storytellers with open doors and honest conversations.

​

We actively collaborate with media partners to make covering the region easy and meaningful. Our team hosts custom media tours, arranges guided, one-on-one press visits, and works with influencers and creators to document festivals, itineraries, culinary experiences, outdoor adventures, and the unexpected stories that live between them. Whether you’re developing a feature, planning a multi-day itinerary, or seeking a fresh angle on music, whiskey, food, or rural culture, we help connect you to the people and places that bring those stories to life.

​

Our work has been featured by National Geographic, Southern Living, Food & Travel, Travel + Leisure, NPR, Camels & Chocolates, and many others, not because we chase trends, but because the stories here endure.
