The Journey of Hemispheres Wine Bar: From a Kitchen Table to 208 W. Main Street
What began as a shared vision around a kitchen table on a warm summer evening in 2022 has blossomed into Hemispheres Wine Bar—an unparalleled destination for wine lovers in the heart of downtown Murfreesboro.
In July of 2022, Lisa Davis sat with close friends, enjoying freshly brewed coffee, and dreamed of creating a place where people could come together to explore the world of wine. Over the following months, the team considered several locations before finding the perfect home on the historic square at 208 W. Main Street. Rich in character, the space is designed to offer a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere—complete with lounge seating for intimate gatherings and bar seating for casual experiences. Hemispheres Wine Bar will be a place where people can connect, unwind, and enjoy a truly global wine experience.
But Hemispheres Wine Bar is more than just a venue—it’s a community hub. The wine bar will host exclusive member events, educational sessions, and public happy hours, making it a welcoming space for both seasoned wine enthusiasts and those just beginning their wine journey. Beyond serving wine, we are committed to giving back to the community and will partner with local charities throughout the year.
Founded by Lisa Davis, Autumn Eklond, Tammy Stump, and Susan Davis (a silent investor), Hemispheres is the realization of their shared passion for wine and adventure. Each founder brings a unique strength to the venture: Lisa’s love for wine began during her travels with her husband, while Autumn’s expertise in marketing complements her deep appreciation for red wines. Tammy’s extensive business background and commitment to community add an adventurous spirit to the team.
