Our wines embody the Smoky Mountains and southern hospitality, making them a perfect addition to your relaxing Smokies night by the fire. Here are 7 Tennessee wines to sip under the stars:
1. Midnight Red Muscadine
Tennessee is known for its impressive crop of muscadine grapes, making this Smoky Mountain muscadine wine a must for your next fireside gathering! Bold and berry, this Midnight Red Muscadine blends sweetness and tartness in one tasty beverage. Muscadine wine is a Tennessee tradition you have to experience for yourself, and there’s no better time than by the fire on a clear Smokies night!
2. Midnight White Muscadine
Midnight White Muscadine is a refreshing wine that provides a freshness and tartness that you’ll love! This option is similar to Midnight Red Muscadine, with the difference being the skins of the muscadine grapes are removed prior to fermentation, making for a smoother tasting experience. It’s soothing and cool, perfect for warm nights under the stars!

4. Chardonnay
If you’re a fan of traditional white wines, you’re certainly going to love our Chardonnay! It’s not your fancy chardonnay; it’s sweet, smooth, and made to enjoy in everyday moments like sitting by the fire. You’ll enjoy notes of green apple, juicy pear, and a tidbit of citrus, making it uniquely light and refreshing. It offers the perfect amount of sweetness without being overpowering.
5. Maples Reserve Red
Robust and flavorful, Maples Reserve Red is the most exclusive wine we’ve ever released at Tennessee Homemade Wines! It’s a tasty combination of Rougeon, Marquette, and Chambourcin grapes unlike any other option you’ll find among Tennessee wines. It’s full of berry flavors like blueberries, black cherry, black currant, and plum, perfect for enjoying by the fire as you share stories and converse.
6. Maples Reserve White
Appalachian winemaking traditions and Tennessee charm merge in our Maples Reserve White! This regionally inspired wine offers flavors like honeydew melon, golden pineapple, crisp pear, and a light floral finish.
