Our tastings are free every day, and you don’t need a reserved time, so you can stop by whenever you want.
Wines for Every Taste
The choices at our Gatlinburg winery lean smooth, sweet, and fruit-forward. Think berry blends, apple and muscadine flavors, and even a handful of surprises you won’t find anywhere else. Even guests who aren’t typically big wine drinkers often find something they love. You don’t need to know a thing about wine to enjoy yourself, and we’re far from wine snobs! We’ve got something for everyone in your group.
Near All the Action of Downtown Gatlinburg
One of the things that makes our Gatlinburg winery a favorite destination of groups is that we’re right in the middle of all the excitement on the Gatlinburg Strip. That makes it both easy and convenient to stop by in between adventures you have planned. Whether you’re ready to kick back with a wine in hand after visiting a crowded attraction, or just finished an outdoor adventure like hiking, we’re never far away. Plus, our location on the Parkway is a great place to take some group photos that you’ll look back on fondly.
Make It a Gatlinburg Wine Trail Experience
If your group is up for the ultimate wine adventure, the Gatlinburg Wine Trail is a must! Our Gatlinburg winery is 1 of the 5 locations that make up this self-guided tour of the top wineries and cideries in the region.

At only $10 a person, it’s an affordable and fun way to savor the authentic tastes of the Smokies while making memories with your crew!
Bringing the Good Stuff Home
Before your group returns to your cabin or hotel, consider purchasing a few bottles of your favorites. They make great souvenirs or gifts, and honestly, opening one later is the quickest way to bring back that Smoky Mountain feeling! Popping open a bottle, whether it’s where you’re staying or when you return back home, is the ultimate reminder of the fun times you enjoyed with your group in the Smokies. Not to mention, it’s a great way to share a piece of the Smokies with friends and family at home.
