About Gatlinburg Winery

Gatlinburg Winery wins over visitors with its playful, sweet fruit wines—particularly the cult-favorite Cotton Candy flavor that converts even non-wine drinkers into enthusiastic buyers. The staff generally receives high marks for being friendly, knowledgeable, and creating a welcoming atmosphere during tastings. However, service can be inconsistent, with at least one report of being ignored upon arrival, and recent recipe changes to signature flavors have disappointed loyal customers.
