What our customers say about us!
Excellent service, pet friendly, great wines
Pet friendly. Excellent wines. They provide free samples, and you can purchase wine by the glass and/or bottle, and even sign up for a membership to have wines shipped to your home. Such a cute store! Stephanie waited on us. She’s was wonderful. She was very friendly, provided our samples, educated us on the wine, sold us glasses of wine and bottles, let us know about other affiliated wineries and the cider tasting in the next building and told us all about the wine memberships. It was a pleasure having Stephanie wait on us and we intend to return this week to purchase a membership with her.

Fall trip made with delicious wine
I have been wanting to stop in fir years. I finally made it on my kast trip. The grounds were decorated with fall decorations. The wine tasting was great. We purchased 2 bottles to enjoy at home. Stephanie K was great! She led us to the right wines for us. We will definitely be going back for a visit.

What wineries are included in the Rocky Top Wine Trail? #RTWT

Start anywhere along the trail and visit at your own pace.
How much does your wine tasting cost?
Tastings are FREE to all those over 21 years of age with valid photo ID.
I forgot my ID, can I still sample?
Unfortunately, if you forget your ID and are over 21 (+) years of age we will not be able to serve you. State law requires that a customer present a valid photo ID prior to sampling or purchasing alcohol in the state of TN.
Is the winery family friendly?
Of course! Anyone is welcome to visit with us and also tour our winery. We welcome families and friends of all ages – you simply must be 21 (+) years of age and present a valid photo ID to sample or purchase our products.
Are your wines gluten free and/or vegan friendly?
Our wines contain no gluten – however the yeast we use to ferment them comes from a source that does contain gluten so we cannot make the official claim that they are gluten free. All of our wines are vegan friendly!
Do you ship your wines?
Yes! See our shipping section on our website for more information or call our shipping department at 1-866-453-6334.
Can I bring my dog/cat/squirrel with me?
Yes! Our locations are now pet-friendly! We can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!
Do I need to make a reservation for my tasting? I have a large group!
At this time we do not accept reservations but it’s always nice to know you are planning to join us! Feel free to call ahead if you are concerned about how busy we will be but we ensure you that you’ll get up to a bar – even during peak season. Wait time typically never exceeds 15 minutes.
How does the self-guided tour work?
Experience the Rocky Top Wine Trail at your own pace by going on a self-guided tour to our wineries and hard cider house.
- Pick any winery you want to start at – no need to make any reservations or call ahead, just come on in!
- Head to the bar for a free wine tasting
- After your tasting, you will be given a Passport by your server.
- At every winery you visit, present your Passport to your server. They’ll add a stamp next to their respective location.
- After you get 3 stamps, you will receive a free gift – and if you collect stamps from all 5 locations, you will get ANOTHER free gift
Do I have to complete the Wine Trail in one day?
No! Just hold onto your passport and jump back in any time you’d like – be it days, months, or even years!
Can I walk to all the wineries?
The wineries are all located within 5 miles of each other, most along Parkway in Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. We definitely recommend driving, although you could walk it if you’re feeling particularly adventurous!
Can I do the Trail more than once in a day?
You can only get the free gifts once a day, however, nothing is stopping you from revisiting a winery you love multiple times in one day.
Where do I get the Passport?
All of our wineries will have Passports readily available for you, however, you are welcome to print one off prior to visiting.
To get a free passport emailed to you click on the “Free Passport” link on the main menu of this website.
Can I bring someone under the drinking age with me in the wineries?
Yes! The wineries are open to all ages, though we will only serve those 21+ and we ask everyone for an ID.
