If you’re planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains and looking to add some fun, flavor, and unforgettable memories to your itinerary, Smoky Tours has two standout options for wine, moonshine, whiskey, and bourbon lovers:
- The Gatlinburg “Get Ur Shine On” Walking Tour
- The Wine Me, Dine Me, Shine Me Tour
We get asked all the time which one is better—and honestly, they’re both amazing… just different! In fact, many of our guests do both tours (some even multiple times!) because each one offers a unique experience you won’t find on your own.
Let’s break it down so you can see which tour—or better yet, which order—you want to book them in.

Why Not Do Both?
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to choose.
Each tour delivers something different, and when you combine them, you’ll experience the best of the Smokies—from downtown Gatlinburg’s nightlife to the scenic sips and savory bites in Pigeon Forge.
We even offer a multi-tour discount when you book both experiences!
Want a Private Tour? We’ve Got You.
Both tours are available for public or private groups. If you’re planning a birthday bash, bachelorette party, corporate outing, or just want a more personal experience, we’ll work with your schedule.
Private tours can be arranged outside of our normal availability.

What Guests Are Saying:
“I booked Smoky Tours for my bachelorette party. I liked that it could be a private group & we weren’t sharing the bus with anyone else. I had great communication with Jenn before, during, & after the tour… We could not have had this experience on our own. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area and wanting a unique way to taste some moonshine, whiskey & wine!”
