6.Top Rated Wine and Shine Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 438 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $51

Start at 5 p.m. with a small group of up to 12, then walk between Tennessee Shine Company, Little Bear Winery, and Sugarlands Distilling. Guides such as Jenn keep the evening moving, while tastings, a moonshine cocktail, and shopping discounts are included. Eat first and pace yourself.

“This tour was disappointing and overpriced. Despite there being over a dozen moonshine and wine spots along the strip for this tour, we visited exactly two (with a 20 minute walk between them). No wine stop at all. And we were not told of the change until we arrived, despite the tour guide texting us with other information 24 hours before the tour started. We would have cancelled if we had known of the change, which I assume is why they didn’t tell us in advance. Also our tour guide seemed like she wanted to be anywhere except on the tour. Very disappointing and do not recommend.”
