Rocky Top Wine Trail

Discover Tennessee’s Finest Wineries in the Smokies

Rocky Top Wine Trail

A Tasting Journey Through the Heart of the Mountains

The Rocky Top Wine Trail is a must for wine lovers visiting the Smoky Mountains. Featuring five local wineries spread between Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, this trail allows you to sample over 75 unique wines—all crafted right here in Tennessee.

As you make your way along the trail, you’ll collect free stamps in your “passport” at each stop. After visiting three wineries, you’ll receive a small gift, and after all five, an even bigger reward.

It’s a fun, laid-back way to taste your way through the region while enjoying Southern hospitality and mountain charm.
