Jeffrey was a great tour... - Jeffrey was a great tour guide. At each stop he made sure we were getting the best service and recommended different tastes to try! He gave us recommendations of different restaurants and places to try! He was a great driver and kept offering us water. He got us shot glasses as souvenirs and we even saw a bear!

BOOK THIS!!!!!! - What a great time! We stayed in Knoxville and it was a little drive out of the way but so worth it. Our guide Jeff was amazing and we made friends with the other couple on the bus. Each location had a different variety to offer but Worm at Tennessee Shine was by far the best! We left with 6 bottles :)
All in all totally recommend and had so much fun!

Great people all along the way. - It was a nice tour. The hosts at Hillside Winery and Jeff, the driver, were
all great. We had a mixed group, some enjoyed wine and other enjoyed whisky/moonshine, so it was a very good trip for us. We visited 3 establishments, one more stop on the tour and I would have given it a rating of 5.

Storefront - The driver was wonderful, I was disappointed with the storefront wineries. True wine tours take place in the countryside, I don’t think you should consider this a wine tour
