Which airport should I use?

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is the closest major airport, approximately 20 miles from Southall. Please allow 35–45 minutes for travel, depending on traffic.

If you plan to attend Wednesday’s optional welcome reception and dinner, we recommend arriving at BNA by 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 24.

Transportation

Rental cars, taxis, rideshare services, and private car services are available from Nashville International Airport. Complimentary valet parking is available for overnight guests at Southall. We also encourage attendees to coordinate shared rides when possible.

Dress Code: Smart Casual

We encourage relaxed, polished retreat attire — comfortable yet well-put-together clothing suitable for indoor gatherings, shared meals, and time outdoors.

Think nice jeans or trousers, sweaters, blouses, dresses, collared shirts, and comfortable shoes for walking the property. February temperatures in Tennessee can vary, so layers and a light-to-medium jacket are recommended. You may also want to bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes if you plan to explore the farm or walking trails.
