Reviews for VIP Wine Tasting Tour Through the Smokies with Rocky Top Wine Trail

We had a GREAT time with Randy our driver! He gave us some history on wine making and the barrels used. He helped with recommendations on sweets vs dry wines and then as he was driving us around to the different stops, he recommended restaurants and areas to visit that were off the beaten path and on the quieter side of the area. Rocky Top Wine Trail (RTWT) gives a great guided tour. With 5 different stops and the discount for being on the tour, it was worth the money. It's nice to be treated to the VIP experience and get to move straight to the front of the line at each stop.

Our guide, Randy, was attentive, appropriate, knowledgeable and fun. We were attending for a bachelorette party and the entire experience was incredibly fun and every person along the way was professional and friendly. I highly recommend for a memorable experience!

What a wonderful experience!! Came here for our 24th anniversary trip. So much fun, and such a variety of tastings and shopping. I’ll be honest, Judy made this experience what it was. Fun, informative, super sweet and personable. I’m feel like I made a new friend!!! Love her!! Will be back again!!

We picked the Shots and Glasses VIP tour as the main event for our joint bachelor/bachelorette trip for 10 people. We had the most amazing time with Judy and Sandy as our guides. They were so much fun and very knowledgeable about the area. All of the bartenders were also knowledgeable about their products and so personable at every location. We felt very special and were congratulated at every single location. We got to try so many different wines, ciders, and moonshine. Most of the locations we even got to individually pick the wines we tried. We never felt rushed and were allowed to take as much time as we needed and ask all the questions we wanted at each location. The red velvet wine at the Mountain Valley winery was my fiancé and I’s favorite. Judy and Sandy even took the extra time to offer to take pictures for us (suggesting good locations for pictures) and made sure they we got everything we wanted out of our trip, I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun event to add to their trip.

Judy is amazing!!! She was so kind and accommodating for my girls birthday trip. She made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. I could spend the whole day with her. It was a breath of fresh air and I’m so glad we had her as our guide. We went to 5 different wineries and had over 30 samples. Well worth the money and a vibe. Thank you for an amazing day Ms. Judy!!!

We booked this VIP tour for my best friend’s bachelorette party and were lucky enough to get Randy as our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, attentive and SO. FUN! He made our bride feel so celebrated. There was an amazing variety of wines to taste and having transportation to each winery is worth every penny. Can’t wait to visit again in the future!

We booked this for a bachelorette group of 12 girls. Our guide, Randy, really helped make this experience a lot of fun. He made the tours and the drives fun with his anecdotes and his jokes. Randy was very good at getting group photos at each stop and helped us take lots of photos to capture the groups experience at each spot. Our group enjoyed the wine and snack samples that we got at each place as well.

My group was in Gatlinburg for a bachelorette trip and we had such a good time on the tour! Each winery had a bar-top reserved for us with a personal bartender so there was no waiting. We got to try 6-8 wines at each winery, and they were all great! Judy was the absolute best and I highly recommend him!!

This was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!! Randy was our wine tour guide, and our whole group truly adored him!! He was so knowledgeable on each location along with giving great recs! He was so fun to talk to and was very lively!! It’s like he was part of the friend group!! If you’re on the fence about it, truly recommend doing it! The wines are delicious and everyone was so friendly at each stop!!
