Feast on a Hearty Southern Breakfast at Country Boy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This longtime local favorite is known as THE place to go for breakfast and local gossip. Start your day here and you\u2019ll have plenty of energy afterward to enjoy all Leiper\u2019s Fork has to offer. Enjoy classic breakfast staples like buttermilk pancakes, crispy bacon, and biscuits and gravy, plus hot coffee served in a Country Boy mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall is the best time to take in the natural beauty of the Natchez Trace Parkway<\/a>. This 444-mile-long scenic drive runs from Nashville through Leiper\u2019s Fork and right on to Natchez, Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you hop on it for 15 minutes or five hours, you\u2019ll be amazed by the display of fall colors. In fact, as far as locals are concerned, this parkway is easily the most popular fall color drive in Middle Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to make your experience even more memorable? Rent electric bikes from Pedego<\/a> in downtown Franklin and take a ride down the Natchez Trace Parkway. You can opt to ride bikes on your own or book a 3.5-hour guided tour that includes a stop at the Loveless Caf\u00e9. The bikes\u2019 electric power only kicks in when you need it, and you\u2019ll be grateful for it on the Parkway\u2019s rolling hills! <\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, I\u2019m not much of a shopper\u2014unless I\u2019m in Leiper\u2019s Fork! The village\u2019s small but exquisitely curated selection of shops \u2013 all within walking distance of each other \u2013 is absolutely worth the trip, and your surroundings will be especially beautiful on a lovely fall weekend. I suggest stopping in every boutique and gallery on Leiper\u2019s Fork\u2019s main drag because there\u2019s not a bad one in the bunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Browse fine art at The Copper Fox Gallery<\/strong><\/a> and Leiper\u2019s Creek Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, unique home decor at Patina<\/strong><\/a>, When a Touch of Elegance Matters<\/strong><\/a>, and Props Antiques, <\/strong><\/a>and eclectic cowgirl clothing and accessories at Moo Country.<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>You\u2019re sure to find some unforgettable treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wines in the Fork<\/strong><\/a> is a tasting room in the heart of Leiper\u2019s Fork, offering private tastings by reservation. You can also purchase flights of wine and enjoy them on the property, which overlooks Leiper\u2019s Creek. For a truly memorable experience, get your wading boots ready and make reservations for their popular Farmstead Roots Creek Dinner Series<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 You\u2019ll enjoy a chef-prepared five-course meal with wine pairings at a table that\u2019s actually in the creek underneath strings of lights. Now that\u2019s what I call ambience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n What goes better with shopping and wine tasting than spa treatments? At The Spa at Leiper\u2019s Fork<\/strong><\/a>, you can treat yourself with a facial, a massage, a manicure, and more. Be sure and check out their bath collection before you go, featuring signature scents like Bourbon Lavender and Cornflower Rose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening to live music at Fox & Locke<\/strong><\/a> (formerly Puckett\u2019s of Leiper\u2019s Fork) is an ideal way to spend an autumn evening in Leiper\u2019s Fork. The popular restaurant has stayed true to its OG small-town grocery store roots, offering fried bologna sandwiches, cold beer, and great local music Wednesdays through Sundays, and with so many musicians living in the area, you never know who might show up on Thursday Open Mic nights \u2014 Carrie Underwood and Wynona Judd have both been surprise guests! Be sure and purchase tickets for music nights well in advance; Fox & Locke is a true local hot spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Autumn and whiskey make a wonderful duo, so we suggest heading out to Leiper\u2019s Fork Distillery<\/strong><\/a> to enjoy both! Here, you can tour the stillhouse and enjoy a tasting afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following Tennessee\u2019s rich tradition of whiskey distilling, Leiper\u2019s Fork Distillery has brought back the art of small-batch whiskey production using local ingredients and limestone-filtered water. The results are distinctive, and you\u2019ll just have to taste for yourself to truly understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immerse yourself in Leiper\u2019s Fork\u2019s folksy, laid back atmosphere by spending a weekend in one of its historic cottages! Sweeney Cottage<\/strong><\/a> is a cozy 1890s farmhouse renovated and decorated by White\u2019s Mercantile owner Holly Williams. Its tin roof, front porch swing, and backyard fire pit add to the cozy atmosphere. And The Brigadoon Cottage in the Fork<\/strong><\/a> is a beautiful post-Civil War cottage featuring two bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and a deck. Both cottages are in easy walking distance of Leiper\u2019s Fork\u2019s shops and restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
