Whether it’s your first time touring with us or you're a seasoned sipper, here's everything you need to know to have the best experience possible.

Where to Meet

Covered Pavilion across from Ole Red
520 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738
Look for the large covered area just outside the Downtown Parking Garage.

When to Arrive

Please arrive at the time shown in your booking confirmation.
We start on time and want you to enjoy every tasting! Gatlinburg traffic can get congested, so leave early and plan for parking.

Parking Tips:

• Park in the garage across from Ole Red for easy access to the meetup location.
• Or park near Sugarlands Distilling Co. (where the tour ends) and walk to the meeting spot—allow 20 minutes.

Heads up: Cell service is limited in the area. Save this number: 865-202-1612 for day-of contact (text or call if needed).

What to Bring

• Non-expired government-issued ID – This is required to participate in tastings. No ID, no exceptions.
• Cash for tipping: $2–3 per person per stop is appreciated (or $5 per couple works great!) - Tour guide tips are always appreciated, but never required.
• Light walking required (~3/4 mile): Dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes.
• Hydrate and eat before your tour: Please don't pre-game at distilleries—our VIP tastings are designed to be a unique experience you won’t get on your own!

"We had THE BEST time on our tour with Jen! My husband and I were on an anniversary trip and we for sure will be returning when we are back in town. Jenn made our experience unique and memorable along with all the distillery staff and bartenders that we interacted with! Make this a priority if you are in the Gatlinburg/pigeon forge area!"
