Getting there and parking
City Winery Nashville is at 609 Lafayette Street in Wedgewood-Houston, minutes from downtown Nashville. Uber, Lyft and other rideshares drop off and pick up directly in front of the venue, and WeGo Public Transit buses serve the neighborhood. Street parking is available on the surrounding streets and there are surface lots nearby, but arrive early on busy concert nights.
The restaurant and box office are closed Monday and Tuesday, open 4pm to 10pm Wednesday to Friday and 10am to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday, with hours shifting around shows and special events. For a show your table is ready when doors open for your ticketed entry. General admission seats are chosen when you arrive, first come first served; reserved seats are assigned by the concierge on the day, so early arrival does not change where you sit.
Accessibility
Accessible seating is available in every section and is marked with the wheelchair symbol on the seat maps, priced like the rest of its section. An elevator reaches the second floor Lounge, service animals are welcome, and sign language interpreters can be arranged with two weeks' notice.
The balcony seats are all high-top tables.

Food, water and what you can bring
Dinner is served at your table from door time right through the show, with no separate reservation needed. Show tickets do not include food or drink unless the event page says so. To eat in the restaurant before a show, book on Resy at least an hour before show time.
This is a working winery with a wine bar and a full bar, and City Winery wines are on tap. Guests under 21 are welcome but must not sit at the bar or drink alcohol.
Smartphones and compact point-and-shoot cameras are fine. Professional camera equipment such as DSLRs, interchangeable lenses and large video cameras is not permitted without advance authorization, and some artists bar all cameras at their shows.
Sound and sensory
Earplugs are available at the box office, and servers will read the menu for sight-impaired guests.
Most shows run about 90 minutes and rarely go past two hours. The main room has top of the line audio and lighting, with two 10 by 8 foot screens and one 10 by 16 foot screen.
