This spot might have been the most flexible with letting us choose what we wanted to try, so it was nice to get some drier options in the mix after trying so many sweet ciders and wines all day.

The regular ciders are refreshing, and perfect for a summer drink, while the cream ciders were equally delicious and perfect for an after dinner sipping dessert. I should note what really made this a highlight of our trip, though, was our time talking with Foster. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also made the entire experience feel relaxed and welcoming--even with our two young kiddos with us (even my spicy little girl was taken with him) I especially appreciated how honest he was about each tasting, giving genuine opinions instead of just trying to sell everything. We will definitely return to this spot on our next visit, and probably order online in between!

Our tasting guide was great and we laughed the entire time. He helped us choose our favorite flavors. I purchased a four pack of cider to share with family. The place is smaller than expected but was not crowed as one would expect on a busy Saturday in downtown Gatlinburg. I would recommend this place.

So my wife ended up getting nothing and we just left. Other establishments have accepted it as well as the entire state of Virginia, so it appears to be a specific rule for them. Respect, but I would recommend saving the time and your money and go elsewhere, which is what I recommended to our larger group when they were gonna go there. Would hate for them to get there there and get denied service "sorry we can't accept IDs where the default font is times new roman" or something, as there is clearly some weird rules here.

(Elkmont red) everything else was sweeter. Service was good. They had a variety including cream wines, sweet wines and a 20% blackberry wine. 3 tastings for free. $5 to taste it all. The 3 free was fine. That is like hakf a shot total. So tasting all 12 for $5 is not a great deal alcohol wise, but nice to sample every flavor. Bottles run $25... id say overpriced.

The majority of them were honestly so good, there's something for everyone depending on what flavors you like.

The service was great as well, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it's a great place to stop if you're in the area.

But two of the samples are pickles and peaches. Those should just be samples, not part of the tasting. That said, the Ownby bourbon was good, I liked it a lot. I am generally against flavored whiskey but I enjoyed the espresso martini whiskey and root beer whiskey. I had sampled an ole Smokey moonshine years ago but didn't care for it. But sampling the razz n berry and the apple pie moonshines - I liked those. Walked out with too many bottles but I will definitely enjoy them over time.
