The 10 Best Food & Drink in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (TN)

March 7, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Set against the misty blue backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is a gateway to 500 thousand acres of Appalachian wilderness. If hiking over 800 miles of mountain trails and camping in dense ancient forests isn't your thing, head over to Dollywood for a different sort of fun. Founded by country queen, Dolly Parton, Dollywood combines rollercoasters, waterslides, and live bluegrass and gospel concerts, with a down home country fair.

I was on a mission to find some little mini moonshine jars for friend back at home. I prefer the minis until I can find one I like (not big in the tastings) and they make good little bring home gifts! Well, after 2 distilleries and many gift shops later, I found this little slice of heaven. Got 6 minis in all of the different flavors I thought I’d like (they offer the mini version of almost all of their flavors). And along the way, I ran into their jelly candles and gel melts (think wax melts but in jello form ????) and oohhweee do they smell AMAZING! You really can’t beat the price in this little “off the path” shop! I think I paid around $6.50 for the mini moonshines and they had a buy 5 get 1. And the bigger jars are $25. They also offer many more flavors than you main distillery joints. I’m talking cotton candy, pina colada, banana pudding, orange creamsicle, and SOOO many more. And that’s just the moonshine... they also offer many flavors of dark whiskey and wine as well. If you’re in the area and looking for some good, different moonshine, I’d stop in for a quick visit. They also offer free tastings in case you’re not sure on what to get. Stop in, you won’t regret it!

What an amazing place! By far, the best moonshine in the area! Everyone was so nice, selection was awesome, and the whole place is beautiful! Chet made amazing drinks in the lounge, Bryan provided an entertaining and educational moonshine tasting experience, and Chris offered many great tastings at the Cream Rum station. I would highly recommend that you take time out if your day to visit! You won’t be disappointed!!

Rocky Top Wine Trail

The Rocky Top Wine Trail, Tennessee’s first and most visited wine trail, was established in 2008 when the opening of a third winery in the area opened up the possibility of three local wineries cooperating together. The Wine Trail has only grown from there, and now with five participating wineries throughout Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, guests are able to sample from over 70 unique, award-winning wines by the time they’ve completed the Trail! Not only do Trail participants get to enjoy local, handcrafted wine, they get to experience it while reveling in the majestic views of the Great Smoky Mountains, eating at their favorite restaurants (or ours!), shopping at Tanger Five Oaks Outlet Mall, and spending time with friends! Sounds like a grand adventure already, doesn’t it? The principles of the wine trail are simple: Support local farms, provide exceptional quality wine, and offer only the very best southern hospitality to each and every visitor. That’s it!

We were visiting Pigeon Forge for Wilderness Week which was cancelled do to the covid-19. We had reservations at a RV park and decided to keep them and since they had opened the Island in Pigeon Forge we stopped in and had a great tasting brew on tap. They were very safety cautious and service was great. We also found out that they serve food which had we know in advance we would not have eaten before arriving there. Would recommend as there beer is very good.
