Stepping into Gatlinburg Winery’s tasting room is like entering a welcoming celebration of Southern charm and creative winemaking. The $8 paid tasting — known locally as the premium or curated tasting experience — is designed to give you a deep, flavorful journey through the winery’s lineup rather than just a quick sip. Rather than limiting you to just a few samples, this experience invites you to taste the majority of what the winery offers, providing a well-rounded introduction to the full variety of their handcrafted wines.
