About Cades Cove Cellars

This Townsend winery wins visitors over with genuinely friendly staff who take time for real conversations, not just transactions. The sweet fruit wines—particularly the Firefly blackberry, Harvest Moon pear, and house-made mead—earn enthusiastic repeat buyers. While most guests rave about the personal attention from staff like Angela, Sarah, and Jasmine, a handful note that tastings can feel rushed compared to other wine regions, and service quality isn't always consistent.
