Knoxville Wine & Distilleries

You don’t have to travel to the West Coast to sample innovative spirits and wines. Knoxville has carved out its own reputation as a destination for locally crafted beverages. Distilleries and wineries are scattered throughout the region, each offering unique flavors and experiences to suit every palate.

From countryside vineyards producing award-winning bottles to small-batch producers crafting inventive spirits, the variety here caters to first-time tasters and seasoned connoisseurs alike. The city also anchors both the Tennessee Whiskey Trail and the Great Valley Wine Trail—the latter connecting four independent wineries in East Tennessee.
