Let’s be honest—Nashville’s party scene gets a lot of attention. But what if you’re not here to drink your way down Broadway? Whether you’re traveling with kids, skipping the booze, or just want to mix in something a little more meaningful (or memorable), there’s a whole world of non-drinking tours and experiences that still capture the heart of Music City.

This collection is curated for families, second- or third-time visitors, and even bachelor/bachelorette groups looking to balance their itinerary with something fun, scenic, or off the beaten path—no shot glasses required.

Think sightseeing trolley rides, guided walking tours, and e-bike adventures through mural-filled neighborhoods. Or take to the skies with a helicopter tour, cruise the Cumberland on a kayak or pontoon, or unwind with a nature-focused escape to Radnor Lake or a nearby state park. These tours let you experience the culture, scenery, and soul of Nashville—without the hangover.

For food lovers, non-drinking food tours let you explore Nashville’s culinary scene through BBQ joints, biscuit shops, and dessert spots. And if you’re feeling creative, cooking classes and music-themed experiences like songwriting sessions or studio tours offer hands-on ways to connect with the city’s roots.

Whether you're planning a low-key morning before a big night out, or skipping alcohol altogether, these tours prove you don’t need a drink in hand to have a great time in Nashville.
