Enjoy it while visiting Pigeon Forge in Tennessee
The beautiful mountains and valleys that surround Pigeon Forge provide a stunning setting to enjoy some delicious local wine. The Rocky Top Wine Trail is made up of four wineries and a cidery, where you can try a total of 75 different wines. While each winery has a variety of options, it’s important to note that sweet wines are quite popular in this area, and there are limited choices when it comes to dry wines at these establishments. If you’re planning to visit multiple wineries, make sure to grab a “passport” at the first venue to collect stamps. Once you’ve visited three wineries and received three stamps, you’ll receive a complimentary souvenir wine glass. And if you manage to visit all four wineries and the cidery, you’ll even get an extra free gift! Keep reading to discover what each winery on the Rocky Top Wine Trail has in store for you. Best of all, tastings at all the wineries are absolutely free!
