I took 3 friends to Cades Cove Winery late yesterday afternoon. They had fun, I tasted my usual favorites, added one or 2. Saw a couple of differences on the list, didn’t think much of it. Continued with tasting. There was a wine simply put on the list as “Raspberry” another “Blueberry” both were ok. Instead of buying one of my usual favorites, I opted to buy one of those flavors because the girls hyped it up, told me to mix it with this or that to cut the sweet. I guess I bought into it and bought the bottle of Raspberry. It was bagged and twisted closed, I didn’t think much of it. Got home, opened the bag, it is a bottle of Lupus. I thought this is a mistake. I will call in the morning and let them know I got the wrong bottle. I called and was informed that it is in fact the correct bottle. They removed the name from the list because of controversy surrounding the name, is what the person I spoke to told me. This made me furious. This is trickery. If you will not disclose the name of a wine and label it as Raspberry flavor on your list, this is wrong and a lie in my opinion. I will be leaving a Google review that you can not remove shortly. I will be contacting the BBB and the Wine board also. There were other ways to sell your wine. You didn’t have to resort to trickery. Very disappointed customer.

Wanted a bottle of sweet Muscadine wine for my Easter dinner Sunday. The girls working there let me sample the red and the white. They were very friendly and helpful throughout the process. The white Muscadine tasted exactly like the grape itself. Bold and robust with a subtle sweet tone. The red is sweet with a slightly muted Muscadine flavor not as up front as the white. I did go with the red as my mom really likes sweet wines. I also grabbed a couple of $3.00 wine glasses. This place is really nice inside and has cheese and wine related items. I highly recommend the wine slushy. They have a wine for every palate I just prefer sweet. Stop in and have you three free samples and pick one out. You won't be disappointed.

I'm used to wine tasting in Virginia which are usually slower and more insightful about the particular wines. Those tasting are usually paid for. In TN it is a bit different. The tastings are free but they are rushed with less information about each wine. At least that was my experience here. The wines are good but the "experience" is just ok.

They are a great group of people. Very helpful and great atmosphere. I have been there Everytime in Townsend, I didn't pay attention about wheelchair information.

On the Gatlinburg Wine Trail! Needed an adult lunchable to pair with the wine!

Beautiful location for starts. The two women inside were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Only planned on buying one bottle but actually walked out with two, one white and one red. This will be the only place I buy my wine from now.
Best wines we’ve tasted anywhere around Cades Cove or Wears Valley. I highly recommend the Red Muscadine Sweet! It’s groovy ????

My favorite wine and winery, hands down. I buy enough wine every time I go to get me through until my next trip to Tennessee. It's the only wine I drink.

Stopped in here 1/2 hour before closing. Staff is friendly, and with the free tastings, there is a choice of 4.Being my first time in Tenessee , and a wine lover, thrilled to have tried southern state wines. My selection Rustic Cabin Red, will be sure to stop back again...perhaps in the fall

Dont waste your time. 2 girls outside smoking when we pulled up. They acted as if we interrupted them. No smiles. Not friendly AT ALL.
