About Riverdance
Our Story
Built on the Mountain, From the Mountain.
A vision of community, craft, and flavor
Perched high above the Tennessee River Gorge, Riverdance at River Gorge Ranch is built on the mountain, from the mountain. Every element — from the locally quarried stone to the hand-hewn timber and wide expanses of glass — was chosen to honor the land it stands on.
The venue’s design follows the natural contours of the mountain, blending into the landscape while opening to panoramic views of the river and ridges beyond. It’s a place that feels both elevated and grounded, seamlessly connecting people to the beauty of the Tennessee highlands.
A Gathering Place
At its heart, Riverdance is a gathering place — created to bring people together and celebrate the best of life in the Tennessee hills. Throughout the year, Riverdance hosts seasonal events, live music, local markets, and family gatherings, offering a welcoming space for both neighbors and visitors. Whether it’s a concert under the stars or a weekend festival by the bluff, every experience at Riverdance is shaped by connection and shared enjoyment.
A Nourishing Place
The on-site restaurant and bar celebrate regional flavor with menus built around local ingredients and high-quality dishes. Guests can dine indoors or outdoors, enjoying meals that are as fresh and genuine as the view itself. Overlooking the river gorge, the dining spaces are designed for comfort and community — where friends, families, and visitors can gather for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a drink as the sun sets over the mountains.
Capturing the Spirit of Tennessee
More than a venue, Riverdance is a reflection of the region itself — its land, its people, and its way of life. Built with respect for the environment and guided by a sense of belonging, it stands as a space where community, food, and nature naturally meet. Every moment here, from a quiet meal to a lively celebration, carries the spirit of Tennessee: warm, welcoming, and beautifully grounded in place.
