NATCHEZ TRACE WINE TRAIL - Spirits and wine along the Natchez Trace have a long and treasured history.  Landlocked farmers needed a way to ship their produce to markets.  Corn and grapes were too precious to make the 2 month wet long journey by river raft to Natchez.  Corn was made into liquor, or white lighting and grapes were turned into wine.  Barrels of spirits were easier to transport.  These barrels were off loaded and sold at the notorious Natchez under the Hill and the Spirits added to the reputation of bawdiness of this river town.  Today the adventure continues along the Natchez Trace Wine Trail.  Relive the history and romance of the trace while enjoying the same wine that added to the reputation and traditions from this unique chapter in American History.  Lewis county is proud that 2 wineries call us home.  Amber Falls Winery & Cellars and Keg Springs Wineries.  You can visit them and others at www.ntwines.com.
