Tennessee Homemade Wines

Tennessee Homemade Wines is a regional winery and hard cider producer based in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, with retail tasting locations in Gatlinburg and Sevierville. Rooted in family tradition and Southern hospitality, the company specializes in crafting sweet fruit wines and hard ciders using locally sourced ingredients from the hills and farms surrounding the Great Smoky Mountains. The winery has earned recognition as a top-rated local winery in Tennessee, receiving accolades from Yelp and TripAdvisor, and is well known among visitors and residents of the Gatlinburg and Sevierville corridor.

The product lineup spans over a dozen distinct wine varieties and hard cider flavors, all produced locally at their Gatlinburg winery facility. Core offerings include Blackberry Wine, Great Niagara (a white wine made from classic Niagara grapes), Proper Peach Wine, and Strawberry Wine, alongside seasonal and specialty blends such as hot cider wine and wine slushies. The wines are characterized by rich, sweet flavor profiles that appeal to consumers who prefer fruit-forward and approachable styles, making them particularly popular with tourists exploring the Smoky Mountains region.

In addition to in-store tasting experiences — which are offered free of charge at both locations — Tennessee Homemade Wines operates a direct-to-consumer wine club program called The Club, allowing customers to receive regular shipments of wine to their doorsteps. Online ordering with nationwide shipping is also available, expanding their reach well beyond their physical Tennessee footprint. Reviewers consistently note the fast and secure packaging of shipped orders.

The tasting room experience is a central part of the brand identity. Trained tasting hosts guide visitors through the wine selection, offering food and beverage pairing suggestions and personalized recommendations. The company serves a primarily tourist-driven retail market while also cultivating a loyal repeat customer base through its club membership and e-commerce capabilities. Tennessee Homemade Wines positions itself at the intersection of regional craft beverage production and experiential retail, making it a notable destination winery in the Tennessee tourism market.
