The Best Daytime Activities for a Nashville Girls Weekend
Nashville days are made for exploring, laughing, eating, and making memories you’ll still be talking about years from now. Whether your group is into food, shopping, or sightseeing without the rush, these experiences set the tone for an amazing weekend.
Downtown Nashville Food Tour
If you only pick one structured activity during your Nashville girls weekend, make it the Downtown Nashville Food Tour. We visit locally-owned restaurants you’d likely never find on your own, sampling dishes that represent the city’s food scene at its finest. Think tender smoked brisket you can only get on our tour, award-winning restaurants, and three alcoholic drinks (alcohol-free tickets are also available).
The pace is relaxed so you have time for conversation, photos, and soaking in the atmosphere. My guides and I have personal connections with every chef, bartender, and owner we visit, so you’ll feel like VIPs at every stop.
Why it’s perfect for a girls trip:
Combines food, drinks, and history in one
Plenty of time to chat and bond
Insider access to Nashville’s dining scene
All-inclusive pricing with no surprise tabs
Book for your first full day in town, you’ll discover favorite spots to revisit and get insider recommendations tailored to your group. See why it’s one of city’s favorite downtown Nashville tours.
Murals & Mimosas Tour
The Murals & Mimosas Tour is the ultimate girls trip starter: a mix of sightseeing, a built-in group photo shoot, and celebratory drinks. You’ll hit Nashville’s most famous mural walls, plus hidden gems your Instagram followers haven’t seen, with a guide who knows the best angles and lighting.
The finale is a round of mimosas and light bites, making it a perfect mid-morning adventure.
Why it’s perfect for a Nashville girls weekend:
Professional-level photos without hiring a photographer
Fun and social with plenty of laughs
No rushing between stops, there’s plenty of time to enjoy
Coordinate outfits for a cohesive look in photos like matching boots, denim jackets, or bold pops of color work beautifully.
The Golden Slipper Candle & Perfume Making Classes
If your group wants something creative, intimate, and a little elevated, Golden Slipper’s candle and perfume-making classes are a perfect fit. You’ll blend custom scents guided by an expert, learning how fragrance notes work together while creating something you actually want to take home and use.
The experience feels relaxed and social without being cheesy. It’s hands-on, but not stressful, and there’s plenty of time to chat, laugh, and compare what everyone creates. You’ll leave with a custom Nashville candle or fragrance that instantly brings you back to your Nashville weekend.
Why it’s great for a girls weekend:
Creative and interactive without being exhausting
Everyone leaves with a personalized souvenir
Works well as a daytime reset between brunch and dinner
Nashville Perfume classes are especially fun for groups because everyone’s scent turns out wildly different. Don’t overthink it. Go with what you’re drawn to in the moment and let the pros help you balance it. Golden Slipper is right next door to one of my top Girl’s Trip restaurant pics, Henrietta Red. They take group reservations. Upstairs from Golden Slipper is Darlin’ Lingerie - a perfect stop on your Nashville weekend.

Music City Brew Hop
If your group enjoys beer, cider, seltzers, or simply a laid-back afternoon, the Music City Brew Hop is a must. This hop-on, hop-off trolley takes you to the city’s best breweries, with one route that winds through artsy East Nashville and the indie breweries on the West side, mixing cozy taprooms with sprawling beer gardens.
Why it works for a girls trip:
Flexible hop-on, hop-off schedule
Zero transportation hassle
Variety of brewery styles and atmospheres
Most breweries offer seltzers and ciders for non beer drinkers
Book a sunset slot so you catch golden hour at one of the breweries with an outdoor patio.
Nashville Golf Cart City & Shopping Tours
These open-air tours let you see Nashville’s highlights without sore feet or crowded buses. Choose a mural route for photo ops or a shopping-focused route for boutique finds. Guides double as photographers and storytellers, making the ride as fun as the stops.
Why it’s great for a girls weekend:

Lemon Laine Custom Face Oil Bar
Lemon Laine is part spa, part beauty lab, and part wine bar, making it perfect for an afternoon of indulgence. You’ll sip wine while a beauty guide walks you through natural skincare ingredients, then blend a custom face oil tailored to your skin type.
The space is light, airy, and photogenic, so the whole experience feels like an Instagrammable moment. You leave with a product that’s not just a souvenir, but something you’ll actually use long after the trip.

This Germantown boutique feels like stepping into a Parisian salon with warm lighting, curated displays, and racks of gorgeous pieces you won’t find in chain stores. This store is incredibly size inclusive and and they have new arrivals weekly.
Owner Katie has a gift for making women feel confident and comfortable. Whether you’ve been shopping for lingerie for years or this is your first boutique experience, she makes the evening fun and celebratory. This is one of my favorite things to do in Nashville, TN for a bachelorette party.
Your group has the shop entirely to yourselves after hours. There’s champagne, professional fittings, private try-on time, and the kind of group laughter that turns into inside jokes for years.
Why it’s perfect for a girls weekend:
Exclusive, award-winning boutique atmosphere
Goop-featured and nationally recognized
Professional fittings that make everyone look and feel amazing

Spa Day at Escape Day Spa or Rosewood Boutique & Spa
Every Nashville girls weekend needs a little downtime, and a spa day is the perfect reset between nights out. Both Escape Day Spa and Rosewood Boutique & Spa are locally owned and experienced in hosting small groups.
Escape offers a peaceful retreat with deep tissue massages, aromatherapy facials, and body wraps. Rosewood is an intimate boutique spa known for its custom treatments and attentive service. Either can put together a half- or full-day package tailored to your group’s needs.
Why it’s perfect for a girls trip:
Private or semi-private rooms for groups
Customizable treatment packages
Luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere
Reserve weeks in advance for Saturday spots.
Boutique Hotel Pool Passes
Sometimes the best afternoon on a Nashville girls trip is spent doing absolutely nothing, preferably by a rooftop pool with a cocktail. Hotels like The Graduate, Holston House, and Omni Nashville offer day passes, giving you access to their stylish pools, lounges, and food/drink service without booking a room. Here’s a list of our favorite hotels for your girl’s trip to Nashville.
It’s a low-effort, high-luxury way to relax, people-watch, and catch up with friends.
Why it’s perfect for a girls weekend:
Rooftop views without the rooftop bar crowd
Full hotel amenities for the day
Great mid-trip recharge activity
