We were walking down the street and decided to give it a try. Man are we glad we did. We ended up walking a way with 12 Bottles between two couples. The staff was patient and helpful. It was a great experience.

Me and my boyfriend came to Gatlinburg for a little getaway. We went downtown to explore and came across Smokin’ Banjo. Katie was great with our first stop for the wine crawl. A definite recommend this spot and doing the wine crawl. The wine is fabulous, ended up walking out with three bottles.

We went in for a tasting and had the best experience ever!! Not only were their wines phenomenal (best wines in Gatlinburg in my opinion) but our bartender Ricky was the best! He was super welcoming and talked us through each wine and how to drink it and he had me sold!! He wasn’t pushy and was super friendly. He wasn’t like most other places that only care about serving the tasting and moving you along. It was a great experience and hopefully Ricky will be here next time we’re in town!!

Great wine, great experience. We were visiting Tennessee for my mom’s birthday and decided to surprise my mom with some wine. She loved them all. Their sparkling wine is fantastic, the spicy raspberry cider we loved it, and the other wines were great. We got 5 bottles (with one free bottle, buy 5 get one free) and had a ton of fun tasting them at home. Definitely I would stop here every time I visit Tennessee.

Absolutely love it! I first discovered their store in Tennessee and was instantly hooked. Since then, I’ve been ordering delivery straight to Miami. The entire product line is amazing, everything I’ve tried has been top quality. Highly recommend!

We always do the tastings on the strip while on vacation. This year brought us to a new winery and couldn't have been happier. We are not wine drinkers at all, but came home with 6 bottles! We will definitely be back for the raspberry!

Loved our tasting experience here. Jared did a wonderful job teaching us about the different flavors and helping us decide what ones we liked. The staff meshed well together and didn’t care to have fun with each other and us.

Friendly staff during our tasting, knowledgeable about the product, made recommendation based off of the questions of some of the people in our group. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in Gatlinburg.
