CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The Vine on Franklin, a new wine bar in downtown Clarksville, opened its doors for a soft opening Friday, giving guests a taste of what to expect at their official March 1 opening.

The Vine of Franklin is one of several new establishments opening in the downtown area. Owner Emily Trageser told Clarksville Now that her bar serves unique wines from around the world, paired with small plates to compliment them.

Current menu items include, but are not limited to, charcuterie boards, ahi poké crisps, oysters, salmon tartar and flourless chocolate cakes.

“Things are going swimmingly. We are running out of space, which is an excellent problem to have,” Trageser said.
