    Wine side
    Tamia L.

    One of my favorites on our tour. Double your pleasure here with two different tastings with two different tastemakers who know their stuff! Wild bill was our tastemaker for the Tennessee Shine moonshine and his flare was very unique, I thought I was at an auction which each presentation sample he was about to pour. I even like the pickle juice which by this time I needed between pours. It helped reset my palette. I like the Bloody Mary Mix, crème and lemonade. Big Sexy was our tastemaker for the wine side. He setup our taste where I got to signal once all pours were complete, "Bottoms up"! It was so much fun! Nevermind that this wine including the warmed drink was tasteful, sweet and no ill aftertaste. We purchased TSW Chocolate Cream, Rocky Red Flat and Pigeon Forge Blush. Our tour also included a moonshine operation demo by one of the bartenders. It was educational of course. Such a great time was had!

    I paid $8 for the vip pass to get 9 moonshine tastings and 5 bourbon tastings. They were great! I dont know which is my favorite, but the slippery nipple was pretty damn good. The guy pouring the tastings was entertaining and included a "pickle shot" for my 13 and 10 yr old because they were curious. The only reason I would possibly mark it down is because my kids were bored while I stood around and drank. But ..its a moonshine tasting, so to mark them down for not being family friendly would be silly. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra 2 dollars and go vip

    Great staff, amazing service, best drinks. Definitely a "touirist must" while in town.

    Great customer service! You get like 6 free tastings. You can make your own party pack of 6 shots or 12 or pick a pre made one. There are so many options. There are regular flavors, creams that would be good in coffee, and fruit and veggie ones i.e. pickle one. I really liked the espresso flavored bourbon one with butter pecan cream moonshine. They didn't have the bourbon or fruit/veggie in shot size. They have wine tasting in another room/side of the shop. The blackberry was my fav. The bottles avg about $25/bottle. Highly recommend!!!

    Quite the interesting place. Definitely has a heavy southern theme, and oh yeah, "BIG SEXY" was in the house when we arrived! This was the third stop on our tasting tour. It didn't look like much walking up to this place, but wow did this place pack a punch. When we got in, another tasting session was midway through, so we were escorted over to the wine tasting section. There, we met "BIG SEXY"! This really funny gentleman who had a ton to say while he was pouring us some wine. When it was our turn for our moonshine tasting session, we said goodbye to "BIG SEXY" in the wine section and moved over to our moonshine tasting bar. Again, greeted by some truly authentic southern folks that were pouring us different moonshine cups. I was surprised with how flavorful everything was and how many we got to try. I think it was around 8 (the tastings were creeping up for sure). This was a super fun and generous place that we got to stop at!

    End of the tour... featuring Paul!

    Everything was amazing from our wonderful Beauty Queen looking host Jen to each of our whiskey tasting sessions! Regina was sweet, Bubba....hahaha,ohhh Bubba,he definitely made the tasting surprisingly wild with his raw humor and lastly Paul was very informative. Our group had a blast!!! We definitely recommend this tour!!

    Booked a tasting for my bachelorette through Smoky Tours. We had a great tour of the distilling process by Paul the panty dropper filled with great wisdom on not only moonshine, but marriage as well. Then we had a hilarious tasting with Mitch. We're from out of town, but luckily had a translator in the group to help us understand what drinking only half the pour meant . Thanks for being so patient and giving us such a memorable experience. We will tell these stories for the rest of our lives.

    Went for a tasting tour and it was a blast! Bubba is THE Man! Friendly and funny and we had a great time. Go here and try their great spirits, our favorite was the Apple Cider Moonshine. You won't leave without a smile! Thanks y'all!

    I've done them all.. I loved this place and yes even liked big sexy. He was good at what he does he sold us on what we wanted to drink. We ended up purchasing a lot of moonshine that night and samples were free. You pay a lot for samples at sugarlands and Ole Smokey but this place is free. I'd gladly pay here also because the product is that much better. Serious flavors that you can sip on at home Go visit! Best moonshine in the smokies!

    The food was EXCELLENT! The service was horrible. The bartender was very busy and someone came to…read morelend her a hand. I had ordered To-Go food. I asked this lady if my food was ready. She said no but she never checked. I saw two carry out trays sitting on top of the shelf where the kitchen staff places the food orders. Finally I walked over and had someone checked if that was my food and it was. It had been sitting there for ten minutes. I told the woman that was supposed to have checked if it was ready and her reply was "OH WELL" I had written a tip for 20% so walked over to my check and lowered it to 1%. It is a shame that they employ people with such attitudes.

    We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.
