Sip and Stroll in Gatlinburg: Your Wine Walking Tour in Tennessee

Join a one-of-a-kind, small‑business tasting tour in Gatlinburg, Tennessee that brings you behind the scenes of multiple local moonshine and wine makers - not just one - so you experience working stills, private VIP backstage access, and guided sampling like a guest, not a visitor. You’ll spend a full three hours walking between stops with friendly hosts who treat you as VIPs, share fun, not‑dry history and colorful tidbits about moonshine, and explain “how the old‑timers did it.” The tour is crafted to feel like you’re visiting with friends and includes tastings of different wines, over 15 flavors at varying proofs, and even a moonshine cocktail, all included. Book through Varoom to discover this action‑packed tasting experience that can’t be replicated on your own.
