Why Transportation Planning Matters for Your Moonshine Tour

Whether you’re heading out for a moonshine tasting, wine tour, or an experience with us here at Smoky Tours, getting there stress-free is key to enjoying your day. While most guests drive themselves, many prefer to hire transportation so they can relax and safely enjoy the full experience.

But here’s the catch-Uber and Lyft are often unreliable in the Smoky Mountains due to spotty coverage, and long windy roads to get to these amazing scenic view cabins, especially during weekends and peak seasons. That’s why we strongly recommend booking one of our trusted local transportation partners.
