We stumbled upon this place while driving through the area. Looking forward to coming back for the October festival! Started as a small, one man story teller and has grown into quite the gathering. Jonesborough is a wonderful, small historic town to wander around as well.

Tennessee Hills Distillery is the dream and vision of our founder, Stephen Callahan. The distillery is located in Jonesborough, Tennessee's oldest town, and housed in the very historic Salt House building which was constructed in the1840s and used to store salt during the Civil War era. The building has gone through a very rigorous renovation process and provides the perfect venue for any tourist visiting Jonesborough. While at the distillery, visitors have the opportunity to witness every aspect of our liquor making process such as mashing/fermenting to the final distillation in our hand-made copper stills that were built by the fellas at Tennessee Hills Distillery, as well as our bottling and packaging processes. The facility also provides a tasting bar that will allow our customers and tourist to experience and purchase all of our Tennessee Hills products.

I come here often! I buy beautiful wreaths for my house, many made on site. I have bought many flameless candles; silk and artificial flowers and garlands; pillows; placemats and runners; seasonal decorations; and many, many more things. They offer free decorating classes and sometimes classes for small fees with a take home project. I went in today to get a fall tee shirt with pumpkins, these shirts wash and wear well. The owner and gals that work here are fabulous. Their windows always have great displays! They have a a rewards program too. I can’t say enough nice things about this shop. I love this place! I am a frequent happy shopper! They just have a wide selection of gifts and decorating ideas and items.

I love this shop! I started at their old location where they had the upstairs tea room, but now they still offer tea parties after closing hours. I saw adorable pics of a friend for her daughter's birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. And these aren't "store bought" kind of pastries and candies. These are vintage, authentic recipes she's found and developed. Now, there's a combined business with Manna Sandwich Shop in the same location, so this is the BEST place to lunch in Historic Jonesborough ! She offers gluten free/keto dessert selections, and he makes all his specialty sandwiches with gluten free bread (white AND multi-grain) if you request it. They also do catering, and special orders. I once ordered their GF red velvet cupcakes - Yum! If you are ever shopping around this quaint little town, make SURE you try Downtown Sweet and Manna Sandwich Shop for lunch and/or dessert - complete with one of her awesome teas. Really, really good!
