Chapter Two: The Song in Muscle Shoals

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

Reserve your place today with a refundable deposit of $850.00 per person.

Americana Trilogy is a journey through the people and places that tell America's story—not through monuments or postcards, but through vineyards, songs, island traditions, shared meals, and the remarkable people who keep those stories alive.

The journey continues in Muscle Shoals, where an unassuming Alabama town on the banks of the Tennessee River became one of the most influential recording communities in the world. It was here that musicians, producers, and songwriters discovered that greatness isn't measured by the size of a place, but by the people whose talent, collaboration, and determination give it a voice.

Over four days and three nights, you'll enjoy exclusive access to legendary recording studios, exceptional Southern cuisine, live music experiences, and the opportunity to meet the people whose stories continue to shape the remarkable legacy of Muscle Shoals. From the iconic studios where timeless recordings were made to unforgettable conversations with those who helped create them, every experience offers a deeper appreciation for the music—and the community behind it.

Designed for travelers who value authentic experiences and meaningful connections, this signature A Culinary Society journey celebrates the creativity, hospitality, and enduring spirit that transformed a small Southern town into one of the world's most extraordinary musical destinations.

Muscle Shoals is the second chapter of Americana Trilogy—a collection of immersive journeys celebrating the people and places that define the American experience. From Oregon's vineyards to the legendary music of Muscle Shoals and the island spirit of Key West, each chapter reveals a different expression of America through food, wine, music, history, and the people who preserve those traditions for future generations.

We invite you to take your seat at the table.
