Cork to Fork: Tennessee's whiskey-infused culinary trail

Start at the still. Continue at the table.

Cork to Fork is a statewide culinary trail from the Tennessee Whiskey Trail. It pairs Tennessee distilleries with local restaurants — from Memphis and Nashville to the foothills of the Smokies — over spirit-infused, chef-crafted dishes, inviting you to have your whiskey… and eat it too.
