Southern hospitality meets Gothic charm at The Sewanee Inn, a 43-room hotel on the grounds of the University of the South in Tennessee. 

Located at The Sewanee Inn, The Shakerag restaurant overlooks a golf course with expansive views of the verdant valley known as Shakerag Hollow. In the long-gone days of Prohibition, locals in-the-know would visit the hollow and shake a white rag to signal their interest to moonshiners in the valley. These days, you need not know any secret gestures to enjoy delicious handmade cocktails and upscale comfort food at Shakerag. Serving a menu of Southern-inspired dishes with unexpected presentations, Shakerag offers a relaxing retreat for lunch, dinner, and drinks.

Offering over 8,000 square feet of flexible venue space, The Sewanee Inn can accommodate everything from a grand scale event to a private affair for two, in its several indoor and outdoor locations. Arched cased galleries, timberframe ballrooms, and manicured lawns offer an abundance of options to create an elegant atmosphere for ceremonies and wedding receptions, meetings and special events.
