We are the original creators of the famous "Moonshine & Wine Distillery Tour" of the Smoky Mountains. We have been operating our moonshine & wine tour in Pigeon Forge since 2015, all others are just an imitation. Only our customers get the best vip treatment and are offered the best deals.

Come try our Moonshine tour and see what all the fuss is about. We are only a few minutes from Gatlinburg and all tours depart from a central location in downtown Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Some folks want to try the once outlawed and taboo liquid known locally as white lighting, good ol mountain dew, or Tennessee moonshine. We will give you more than just a taste of this one of a kind drink, we will give you samples from 3 different local top quality distilleries. Some of our most famous local moonshine residents will be discussed. These fine brew masters have flavors ranging from the hard hitting traditional corn mash to the amazing and sweet flavors like apple pie, strawberry shortcake or even bananas foster.

While some want to try shine others like the more relaxed and delicate taste of a quality wine. As most wine aficionados know the taste can change based on where the grapes are from. Here in the mountains of East Tennessee we have some very rich soil and we produce some of the sweetest grapes. Our flavors are unique to us and our part of the world. You will get to see inside the wine cellar and taste some of the magnificent quality wines bottled right here in Sevier County Tennessee. We will be getting tastings from 5 different wine/cider distilling locations on this tour.

Our route can change from time to time which can also change the number and type of locations visited. This all depends on the local traffic conditions at the time of your tour.
