Goodwater Winery

Goodwater Vineyards earns enthusiastic praise as Gatlinburg's only winery that grows its own grapes, with visitors consistently highlighting the friendly, knowledgeable staff—particularly "Uncle Steve" and Kristen—who create a welcoming, hometown atmosphere. The wine slushies are a major draw, and guests appreciate finding drier wine options among the typically sweet mountain varieties. While the in-person experience gets rave reviews, one visitor warns that online ordering and phone communication can be frustratingly difficult.
